Okay real temp open

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 12:58

And prime95

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:02

So you want

CPUz visable - on the CPU tab.
Real temp open
And run prime 95 for 5 minutes - small FFTs will be perfect

We're checking temps and voltages - not stability here.

Oh, i need that memory list (or have i missed it? /off to look back at thread)

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:03

I swear you have my full attention - found the list

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:04

Okay test currently running, fan sound has gone up a bit more since last time, but i guess thatt's normal? Temperatures are currently reaching high 90s. Realtempt stating core 3 is 'HOT'

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:05

With Core speed currently going at 3699mhz

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:05

Hotter than i expected/want - ouch.

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:05

Okay, i'm going to stop the test

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:06

I'm going to have to go by 13:20. Shall I try and return settings to default and we'll try again another day?

Did it reach 4300Mhz - wondering if it throttled back.

What was the Core voltage?

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:08

It did in the early stages but then went to that number. I didn't check the voltage, i'll quickly run it again now to see

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:09

thanks

and look to see if it even hits 4300Mhz

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:09

We may have to set the vCore manually, and/or reseat the heatsink.

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:10

voltage his 1.344v. Core speed drops when Temperatures hit their max

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:12

it's throttling - OK we'll manually set the vCore to 1.25 - but you may not have time?

1.344 is way to high for 4.3GHz - or should be

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:13

Ermm, is ti only the one setting I have to change?

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:14

Yes - but a lot more testing/fine tuning needed in long run -we would just run the same test and then call it quits for now.

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:16

Okay, I won't be able to do that change now. But I may be able to at around 6pm tonight, if you happen to be around? I can change that value to 1.25 then

Plec · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:21

No leave it - you're welcome to set things to what they were and we'll try again later.

If you're not using the computer it will be fine as it is.

It should run hopefully at 1.25 (or below) - but every CPU is different. May drop it to 4.2GHz when we next test as your HS may not be up to the task - of anything over 1.2xxV - we'll have to check.

NathanL · 17 Apr 2017 at 13:22

Okay, i'm going to have to turn my pc off with the settings we currently have is that okay?
