Ivy Bridge Temperatures Could Be Linked To TIM Inside Integrated Heatspreader: Report

My sarcasm detector is tingling?

The guy asked whether you'd usually see the 100% load that prime exhibits. My personal pc at most plays battlefield 3 or similar. I simply gave him a temperature comparison playing a game that is by all means a defacto benchmark used for both gpu and cpu related reviews.

Stop being such a bell. You obviously are the fountain of knowledge mate so you crack on and all that ;)

No mate, I was being serious:confused:, I was testing my over clock the other day, passed ten runs on IBT, 3-4 hours prime blend, load up BF3 and 5 minutes in and pc has hard locked up on me, loaded up again and BF3 crash's my PC again.

So I drop down a multi from 47 to 46 so I could play:)

I was very serious, all this testing (IBT,Prime) does is give us some kind of reassurance that your/mine rig is stable, only real world testing will show for sure if stable, why not go for real world in the first place, at least then no one would really worry about IB being so hot, as you say it's like 20c cooler in actual real usage.

A full stability test on Prime95 takes 17 hours (i.e. one cycle). Custom blend with 90% RAM usage.

Sometimes prime doesn't crash or BSOD until 11+ hours in, when you're nearing a stable OC.

IBT is only really useful for testing max temps at certain voltages. Not really good for stability test in my opinion.
 
It's nakid. :D

I'm not entirely convinced I've got good contact with my waterblock, I'll need to modify the mount to be sure.
 
I'll post the results in a little over 30 minutes!

Edit:

This is the problem I have with the mount, without the IHS the black plate is resting on the pillar so the pressure on the core might be less than ideal. What'll do is file out the hole in the black plate so it can sit further down the pillar and hopefully won't be supported it by it, but rather completely by the core.
