Is this normal?

Hey guys,

My mate was talking to be the other day about having temperature issues with his 2600k, I told him to replace the stock fan for the Gelid Tranquillo and it should improve dramatically.

He doesn't overclock and another business built the system up for him, can't name it on here obviously.

But when he fitted it he was disappointed with the results.

But when he sent me an image, I was weary of the voltage.

Is this normal for a non-overclocked 2600k?

Thanks

N25.

VID isn't Vcore.

Hold on, going to get him to take a screenshot of CPU-Z for me now.

That seems normal to me, but why are the temps high.

Did he fit it properly?

Jokester · 2 Aug 2012 at 19:31

Can you get him to show the load voltage and what sort of temperature it is when running IBT or something similar.

I'll try Jokester.

He fitted it correctly, following all instructions carefully.

I use a 2600k under a Corsair H60 (with 1 fan) for work at stock speeds and last time I checked in the current UK temps it was roughly 32 - 34 Celcius on all cores at idle, and somewhere around mid to high 50's when rendering in Sony Vegas at near enough full CPU load on all cores/threads.

Well he vamped it up to 100% on the BIOS and he can barely hear anything. temperatures down to 30-35*C.

He's going to buy a new case soon, so that should improve airflow as well.

Those idle temps are around 10 degrees too high. He shouldn't need to run the fans at 100 percent to keep idle temps down.
