I find IBT Very High stresses the CPU much much more than Maximum for some reason; could be something specific to my setup, don't know. Could you give it 10 of Very High and check temps? I just tried Custom 8192, that got it hot

The tests Iv'e shown above are all on custom 14000 (Max)
Ran 5 times

That's a very good result.

What's your VCORE (VRM) temperature? I can't get 4.6GHz because my VCORE (VRM) goes up past 85c. Really need to cool them some how, the heatsink is too hot to touch. Unfortunately i can't fit any fan there as the Phanteks heatsink is massive.

@Rossi, where do I see it? Can't seem to find it on TurboV Evo???

MartinBen439 · 12 May 2012 at 20:07

Its on the Asus Suite - under Monitor then Sensor

greg2414 · 12 May 2012 at 20:17

I don't see it there?

This.

Should be labelled VCORE

Ooo, looks as though you don't have a sensor for VCORE :eek:

That can be dangerous on X79...strange.

greg2414 · 12 May 2012 at 20:21

What version suite you on? or TurboV Evo should I say, your's looks different....

MartinBen439 · 12 May 2012 at 20:30

AI Suite II 1.02.11 here and my VCORE temp reading sits just below motherboard reading.

Strange as yours seems to be missing loads more readings compared to mine.

stone_cold_Jimi · 12 May 2012 at 20:30

Uh... first item in the list? uh.. nvm, thermal you say, hmmm. Looks the same as mine, 1.02.16 ?

greg2414 · 12 May 2012 at 20:32

I think mine is the version before, let me try and find that download now.

Jimi...... We are after the temp not the voltage

greg2414 · 12 May 2012 at 20:34

Sorry i have 1.02.16

Yeah Jimi same as yours, is your turbov evo displaying vcore temp on monitor?

Naw, mine neither.

I wouldn't worry too much really. If they get too hot then it will throttle to keep it from smoking.

greg2414 · 13 May 2012 at 10:18

got ya, goo to know

feck199 · 13 May 2012 at 11:07

Interesting!

I have to admit that I stopped my OC at 4.5 because I started playing with other toys like VT-x and VirtualBox with Ubuntu running in it. I fear in our attempts to hit the frequency highs, we sometimes neglect the amazing things you can actually do with the kit - I know I'm guilty of it.

I know I'll try for a stable 4.6 before long but the sideshows have my attention at the moment

Yeah, I think I have stopped at 4.7 for now.

I could spend weeks tinkering, but I would actually like to use it for a bit.

Hear, Hear! All fun and games but yes work to be done
