thanks for your help =)

im glad and happy that i installed my fenrir properly =) ..i mean its temp are under 60?!?!?!!!

so il prob leave it at 1.2v..

but wouldnt that impact on my computers performance? since it has less vcore =/

bifday2k · 20 Jan 2011 at 01:28

No not at all, all motherboards give the cpu a set vcore when its on auto, but from years of testing the overclocking community found out that you can run with far less volts then the auto gives.

You could run the cpu at stock speeds with even far less vcore, but it takes a lot of time testing for stability.

But as it has droped the temps a good 5c and it was a quick and easy thing, then yeh just leave it there for now. If any problems arise, which i doubt, but if they do, just re-enter and put the vcore back to auto.

Your temps look good and shouldnt have no problems with 1.2 vcore. I also have that cooler and was geting similar temps at stock speed. Its also possable to use even less vcore with more cpu speed if you tweak other settings.
I was able to get 3.5ghz using 1.0vcore. My temps is pretty close to yours. But like you i was using auto voltage a few months ago till i decided to learn about overclocking.

The Fenrir Evo is a nice cpu cooler for the price and even with the fan set on silent from bios it does a good job of keeping the cpu cool. Looks nice to

Brits post kinda emphasises what i was trying to get at, the cpu's will run fine at lower vcore then the mobo gives them at stock(auto).

So deffinatly read up, and get used to things, at that point have a tinker, but like i said we droped ur temps a bit, so thats the key for now.

wtf? u can overclock with lowering your voltage? 0.0?

is that possible? lol

thought overclocking means increase everything lol....seriously need to study more about it =/ (but i hate studying T_T)

but does overclocking like brits harm the system? like..lower the life span?

and also...i dont understand... why do u overclock? u have i7 lol...what kind of things do u even do? i7 is like the best CPU out there...you should be able to play games or w/e smoothly even without OCing =/

The idea of overclocking is to get more performance with what you have. I overclock my i7 920 to boost performance with Flight Simulator X and video rendering/editing.

Got the Titan Fenrir TTC NK85TZ with an i7 920 Do @4.2GHz Prime95 Stable and it does a cracking job.

With hyperthreading enabled temps peak in the mid 80s.

like this?

Is the CPU fan definatly pushing air through the heatsink?
If you cant tell i always get a peice of paper and place it near the fan if it gets sucked onto the fan then its pushing air through the heat sink, which is the correct way. If it pushes the paper away turn the fan around.

If possible add another fan on the other side to pull air towards the exhaust, and make sure the exhaused is pushing air out of the case

Edit** Didnt notice the second page... however if you havnt done this it may help lower your temps a little more.

Well for me personally i overclock for fun, when bored, i used to do something called F@H with my Cpu, and having running faster helped speed that up a great deal. Basicly think of it as free performance.

As long as you stay within safe volts, and temps, the cpu is more then fine, yes it will degrade it, but not by much trust me. These cpu's are made to last 20+ years, overclocking will knock that down to like 15 years, and i can guarantee most would upgrade long before then.

I run my comp at stock speeds most of the time, the clock and voltage in my sig, are only run when i need the extra speed, so only now and then, but i could easily leave that 24/7 at 100% load (used to aswell lol) and not worry.

wow...thats quite high temps lol...but yh ...for 4.2GHz....guess its good =)

well i have like 4 fans? xD

the arrows indicate which direction there blowing,

should i replace the fans?.... or is it ok with just them?

but i think i could buy another fan for my side panel...what do you think? =) will it make a difference?

i c...then i might just OC...lol...15years? lol...il have a new PC by then xD

but..like u said..u run at stock speeds most of the time but sometimes change to 4GHz for better performance...is it easy to change? coz i dont think i like to fiddle with the BIOS everytime i wanna change from stock to OCed or vise versa. =/

bifday2k · 22 Jan 2011 at 03:57

What you do is firstly save the stock settings into the Oc profile page in the bios. Once you know thats there and safe.

You then go on to tweak and test what sorta speed u can get and so on, once u reach an overclock u are happy with thats stable, u then save that into the profile page too, so u can switch between stock and overclocked by just quickly loading up a profile.

Your cpu temps appear perfectly normal. Stop worrying and enjoy your pc.

FYI When applying paste to a cpu all you are doing is filling in the microscopic crevices in both the integrated heatspreader on the CPU and those on the heatsink. You are not filling in the gaps between exposed heatpipes as on your heatsink. Only the contact areas will be efficiently transfering heat so smothering the base of the heatsink in paste, filling the gaps between the heatpipes will not lower temps in the slightest. In this case 'less is more', just ensure you have a good contact with the CPU with the minimal amount of paste.

I have found best way to apply TIM to exposed heatpipes is a thin line perpendicular to the heatpipes. The 'X' method also works well.

Assassin_012 · 22 Jan 2011 at 23:45

yh your right....

temps are ok...everything seems fine...guess i should just leave it for now =)

although...my PC does seem different =/ ...i feel that my PC has lost performance? like when bad company 2, turning around to shoot seems ....slow (it ya get what i mean)

maybe its the volts? but like bifday2k said...i will experience no lost in performance when changing the voltages..

maybe...its just me =/ ...ah...i dunno =/
