H70 and a 2600k?

rchads89 · 20 Jan 2011 at 16:34

Thinking of getting one of these how will it cope with a high overclock on a 2600k?

I use an H50 and even that is overkill really. A medium quality Air cooler with enable as high an overclock as an H70
I went for the H50 to run as a very quiet cooler.

some people have the 2600k @5ghz on the h70 just depends if your overclocking or not

I have mine doing 4.8 24/7 on silent. I can do Prime 95 stable at 5GHz silent or 5.4 for benchmarks... all with an H50

What kind of temps you seeing?

On silent, I see a max of 70c running prime 95 at 4.8 22/24c idle
at 5Ghz this rises to 79/80c Prime and 24/26c idle at 5Ghz

at 5.4GHz idle is about 28c - not even bothered trying prime... SuperPi 1M takes temps to arround 60c

What kind of voltages you seeing 70c on prime?

What fans you using for push/pull?

70c at 4.8 = 1.3v Vcore
I have 2 of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-059-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4
Either side of the rad.

They are on the CPU motherboard header and the fan control is set on silent. They get to about 60% fan speed while running prime.

I did start with the single, supplied with H50, fan first of all and that was also fine with temps a few degrees higher. I just wanted the increased airflow while trying to get higher than 5.4... but it made mo real difference to the overclock and these fans are quiet anyway unless pushed at stupid vcore.

Did you use the paste that was already applied to the H50 ?

Well I did at first, but then had to change it because i switched from a 2500K to 2600K so I used MX4 this time... Oh and also the H50 block is terrible, so I lapped it
