Basically i think there may something up with my cpu as it runs really hot compared to the other people who have purchased the Titan Goliath , i have had the whole system rma'd and that sorted the dodgey ram which was causing restarts but the temp issue is still here . I contacted ocuk and they sent me out some Artic Silver 5 , i just applied the paste and noticed a 2c decrease


here are my temps before i rma'd

here are the temps when they were testing it

here are my temps after applying the artic silver 5 they sent me , before it ran 2c hotter

I had this problem using a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Dual Fan heat sink.
Turned out that it wasn't seated proper. after having to mess around with it to get it seated proper, and little bit of paste.
it was sorted :)
 
i have re-sit the heatsink fan 4 times , will try again tomorow i guess. if it doesnt do anything then i guess i will have to contact ocuk again. i just dont understand cause the idle temps arent that bad its only when its under 100% load
 
first of all decrease volt why u need man 1.27 for D0 chip just to get 3.4

give cpu voltage only 1.15 -1.2 thats maxs, which motherboard u have?

look this i am using 3.5 with only 1.13 and its full stable after linxs full memory past maxs core hits only 62 after 2.5 hours stressing with linx and it passes perfectly decrease cpu volt

i didnt actually overclock it myself , its the titan goliath system

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-030-OE

i was told over the phone that the cpu core shoudl be at 1.30 , the motherboard is a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

this is in an antec 1200 also , front and rear 120mm fans set to medium and top 200mm fan on low

The temp difference between load and idle says it is definately the heatsink.
It is either not good enough, not seated right or too much/little paste.
 
I will have to like place it on its side to and start it up without the side on , also im not gonna touch anything in the bios. dont want to void my warranty, i'd rather ocuk just test another cpu/hsf

after re-applying the grease i actually gained about 5-6c , is this because its just been applied. will it drop alittle over time?

Id definitely try lowering the voltage and reseating the heatsink, 1.28 vcore is very high for a 3.4ghz oc, most DO's should run this undervolted, as an example i can run all the way upto 3.6ghz on 1.18v, only needing a jump to 1.2750v for 4.0ghz
 
ive got the antec 1200 , 3 120mm fans at the front 2 120mm fans at the rear and 200m at the top of the case. Both the front and rear are at 100% when stress testing and i leave the top 200mm fan on low.

whats a concave heatsink?
 
He means your heatsink base isnt flat its bowed like a bridge and only the edges of the heatsink plate are touching the CPU.

The only way to check is to take the heatsink off and hold a flat edge to the base of the heatsink to see if its flat, might be worth doing the same to your CPU.

i checked my DO last week when i had it out fo the box and its almost as flat as hell.
