***Haswell -E Owners Thread***

Hi Gents,

Built my 5820k system on Friday, had it outside of the case until yesterday. Was getting 27ish degrees idle and around 34 in bf4. Thats with xmp enabled on the 2400mhz ram which brought the cpu up to 3.6ghz. Not overclocked it properly yet though.

Put it all in the fractal design define s case last night and am now getting about 29 degrees idle, but during bf4 it went up to about 44. It is cooled by an ocuk techlabs 240mm all in one. Do you guys think these temperatures are ok?

I have one 140mm exhaust at the back and 1 140mm intake fan at the bottom of the front panel, with the 240mm rad in the front above it. All fans are set to max in the bios, noise isn't an issue as I play with a headset.

Anything you can think of to improve things?

Thanks
 
For anyone who uses HWinfo64 - which rows are the correct temperatures for CPU and socket?

There are so many different sensors being picked up I don't know which one to look at.

Going to have a proper shot at overclocking tomorrow. Just ran prime for the last hour with the CPU at 4.5ghz at 1.25v but that was only on the multiplier and everything else on auto.

EDIT: Just had another look and the one that seems to make most sense is the "Core Max" in the category with all cores and core # distance to tjmax. Would this be the one?
