i7 930 temp issue

Ok next thing i would say is plug pump into the "PWR_FAN" header on mobo.
Run HWmonitor then and post a screenie plz.
 
Seems to be within normal range but on my kids pc its running at 1500 on a P6t.

Did you run Cpuz while stressing to see what volts your running at?

Also does your mobo need a bios flash do run your cpu properly?
I know my evga does.

Silly question but are both fans facing the same direction (ie label on right side of each)?
As i seen seen people face the fans blowing at each other. (no offence meant:p)

Yes the fans are facing the correct way and none taken
 
Ok then it is looking like a faulty h-50 to me since you have reseated it a couple of times.

Its a pain but to be sure its something to do with the h-50 i would use the stock cooler to compare temps.

the thing is tho im was getting around the same temps with a Noctua NH-U12P that's the main reason i got the Corsair h50 plus to set-up a second i7 system

Oh then its not the cooler.
How much thermal paste did you apply and did you clean old of before putting new on?

When you flashed the bios did you load defaults after it?
Either way try taking battery out of mobo for about tens mins and load defaults.

If that doesn't help it must be either a dodgy cpu or mobo (unless your in the sahara or your case is a closed box :p )

Yes i cleaned the old thermal paste off first and ive tryed a few different methods of applying the thermal paste (Pea method / Line method)

the thing is i get around the same temps with my other i7 build :confused:
 
Are you 100% sure that all the "teeth" (for lack of a better word) on the cpu cage thing are sat insdide the grooves on the H50 cpu block?

I had a problem with temps just like you are having and realised that this was the reason. But, my problems with temps was when the CPU was OC'd to 3.8ghz, not stock.

My idle temps now are 40-50 and max load is 70-75. I have been tempted to get a decent air cooler to compare. But I really can't be bothered :D

Running with the stock cooler @ stock settings my 930 tops out @ 73c.....

I guess this is normal?
 
I'm having the same problem with my recently built i7 930 system.
@ stock i'm getting idle temps of around 43-48 and 50-60 under load from a game (havent stress tested it with prime95 yet) which seems high. Using Titan TTC-NK85TZ/V2 Fenrir CPU Cooler and AS5.
I'll run some thorough tests after work - fan placements, ambient temps etc and report back later.
 
To give some background, my 920 @stock with a Noctua U12 idles at ~34C and rises to about 50C gaming. OC'd to 3.8 it idles at 42 and goes to 78 after two hours of OCCT.

I'd say your temps are too high overall - Like I said before you may have a dud chip.
 
yes well that was my reason for getting the i7 930 i was using the 920 before and i still seem to be having the same problem ive also tried another motherboard but still no change
