i7 930 temp issue

iantaylor.1 · 21 Aug 2010 at 23:00

Hi guys im currently running an i7 930 at stock speed and the temps are running a little high.

my current cooler is an Corsair H50 in push/pull configuration
:cool:

room temp is around 24-25c

thanks

yep it sure is. As your fairly new around here check TJmax and idle temps mean nothing. Use the search plenty of threads from the hot wather in the past 6months

hi and thank for your reply im just wondering if there is any way to cool it down any more is there any air cooler that would be better. the main reason I want to cool it down a bit would be so I can overclock it to around the 4GHz mark

thanks

50 degrees on a stock chip?

I get 42 degrees on a 1Ghz overclock.

Something wrong with the mounting of the H50 perhaps? Is the fan spinning?

Or the motherboard could be reading your temps incorrectly.

Would probably be a good choice. Though, why don't you try and reseat your H50? Or get some different thermal paste?

It has been pretty hot, so that could be why they're hotter than usual. Also, isn't TJmax for 100 rather than 105?

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 12:09

yes the cooler is working correctly and both fans on the cooler are spinning

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 12:13

i have already reseated the cooler a couple of times now but still get the same temps

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 12:15

and I have tryed MX2 and MX3 thermal paste

Your chip may just be recalcitrant. Some of them are.
The H50 is a good cooler, there are few air coolers that will out perform it.

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 20:00

yes but i seemed to get the same temps with my i7 920 but decided to get the 930 as i was going to build another i7 system anyway

thanks

Correct me if i'm wrong but you didn't say what temps your actually getting?

Plus idle temps are not that important unless very high.
You need to test with linx or prime 95 to see what full load temps are like.

i did say what i was getting idle but the link has broken i will link to another pic within a few minutes

Keep an eye on them while its running just in case they get to high.

Do you have the H-50 connected to the right mobo header as in is it running at full speed?
Hw monitor should the you the rpms of the pump.

I have the fans at max via my fan controller and i have the pump plugged into a Molex adapter

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 21:07

so far stressing for just under 20 minutes

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 21:25

ok been stressing for 35 minutes now and no temp change

game4it · 22 Aug 2010 at 21:33

ok definte problem there,now more stressing as temps way to high for stock!

What mobo do you have as i would recommend plugging pump into it so you can be sure its at full speed.Atm its sound like its not.

iantaylor.1 · 22 Aug 2010 at 21:36

any ideas what could be wrong i have already reseated the cooler a couple of times now without any temp change
