Hitting 72 degress :(

Hi all, Ive over clocked my e4300 to 2.9Ghz Using 320fsb 9 multi and stock volts. It is orthos stable but hits a wopping 70 degrees !!!! :O Im using a scythe infinity cooler and ive got the fan on it and a zalman fan on the back of the case 2 cm feom the back of the hs and the psu above it so i dont think its an airflow problem. I did however notice that when i applied the thermal gunk to the cpu not much got on the middle of the hs. Have i got a warpped hsf plate or cpu and how can i check ?

if you take the hsf off, lay a ruler or straight object across it and see if the surfaces meet, if there is a gap in the middle then it is warped. do this with the cpu too.

What voltage are you using? And also what are you using to measure temps?

Hobojim · 8 Jul 2007 at 19:37

using core temp and im at the stock volts. 1.375

4300s have thermal paste rather than solder between core and IHS. Could just run hot. You could - at your own fairly high risk - remove the IHS. Then you've got to mess about with your socket and your cooler etc.

70c is fine. Is it stable?
