how do my temps look to you ?

scotslad · 5 Apr 2009 at 23:52

I have an MSi x58 platinum motherboard with an i7 920 cpu and 6gb (3 x 2) of corsair 1600mhz ram, ohh and an geforce 285 graphics card.

I have the cpu clocked to 3451 (according to cpuz).

this is the overclock settings i have >>

-cpu voltage +0.13
-QPI voltage +0.15
-Dram voltage 1.50
-Sread spectrum disabled.
-pce-i fix at 37.3
-Memory advanced timmings=what is on the memory modules.
-QPI fix at 4800GT/s
-BCLK =172=3440MHz
-disable EIST

My tempreatures on "idle" just now are about >>
graphics 49c
IOH (northbridge) 70c
CPU 25c
MOTHERBOARD 41c

under stress they are about >>
CPU 62c
IOH 71c
(i didnt record the other temps under stress).

how do those tempreatures look to youz ??

Provisionally OK, but what are you using to stress and measure temp readings?

for temps iam using everest ultimate edition and also an msi utility.

to stress it ive used a little program called "cpu stability test 6.0" and also "futuremark 3dmark vantage" (on full test).

Your temps look okay... But I'd run prime95, or intel BURN to stress it and see if they go any higher.

ok, ive ran the intel burn test on maximum test and for 5 times as recommended and the tempreatures dont even get near as hot as using my previously mentioned way of stressing.

as for prime 95, it takes too long and i need my computer in use nearly all the time, so it would be a pain in the butt for me to try that , i know it is a good proggy though.

forget prime 95,if you can play a game like crysis with everything turned on ultra high with anti aliasing and play for like 6 hrs with no crashing or no artifacts then your pc is stable

I've just run that CPUstability test, fully loaded for about a minute my temps hit 48. Started Intel burn test and my temps hit 60 straight away.
Did you set up Burn test correctly? I have error correction on, 1 for max stress and do at least 5 runs.

Run Prime, OCCT or IBT for five hours, or risk the instability that comes with an overclock that is not stability tested. That's how it is I'm afraid

Measure your temperatures with RealTemp or CoreTemp as well - I've never though much of Everest and motherboard utilities are usually way off.

dont listen to this, if u want ure cpu to be rock solid stable then a game is no where near enough to test this. u want to be properly stressing the cpu by running harsh number crunching itterations.

Seconded.
