i7 930 temp issue

[iantaylor.1]

i am using the i7 930 but remember it also has HT

Doh..oh ye....well it's been along day

I may have the answer, it's just dawned on me.

Do you have the heatsink fan set to push the hot air out the back of the case? Might be worth you putting your hand around the back or around the heatsink to see if you're getting much hot air left inside the case.

I know I have the H70 so it's a bit different for me, but if I switch my top case fan off my temps sky rocket. Just an idea!

Since the hot air is being expelled from the top I can decrease my temps even further if I sit the case at the side of my desk rather than under it.

If the hot air coming from the back is hitting a wall or a nest of cables then maybe that's the reason

another thing to look at, when the PC is cold boot into the BIOS and let us know the cpu temp straight away. Mine is 29

If yours is like 35 then something else is definately wrong

OK well firstly I have the Silverstone FT02 so all the heat comes out the top of my case but I do have my corsair h50 at the top so that could be part of the problem

I will do a cold boot shortly then tell you guys the temps

ah, well you need a fan pushing cold air from outside into the radiator, then ideally a second fan on the other side pulling the hot air away from the radiator. Mine is sat on the rear of the case with a top fan set pulling all the hot air away from inside the case.

sounds like you are not cooling the radiator well enough

well i will have a little move around within my case to see if i can bring down the temps a little

 

[iantaylor.1]

well the cold boot temp was 38.5c

 

[iantaylor.1]

i moved the rad to the bottom of my case and temps are about the same maybe 1c cooler

 

[glenimp617]

well the cold boot temp was 38.5c

Can't understand what the problem is. Cold boot should be very low 20s

Do you have the pump connected to psu and the fans connected to the CPU fan header. Maybe the bios is set to pwm which could be it.

 

[iantaylor.1]

I have the pump connected to the PSU and the fans are connected to my fan controller set to max

 

[iantaylor.1]

Well ive just change to cpu voltage to 1.1v and that has brought the cold boot temps to 34c

 

[iantaylor.1]

but I was looking forward to overclocking to around 4GHz 1 day but it does not seem im going to be able to that with these temp problems

Whats your case airflow like? Any chance you can post a scrennie of your set-up?

 

[iantaylor.1]

air flow is pretty good and room temp is 22c at the moment

disable HT knocked my 920 temp in prime 95 by 10
Xmp profile of my ram set the mem controller to 1.4v disable that it knocked a further 4

with everything enable my 920 top 74C in prime95 running stock speed

using titan Fenrir

thanks guys
