New System temp Check

Right now i'm crapping it!

Mobo is down to 34, but core 1 & core 2 are up to 53/56 at IDLE!!

This is with the 1.28V and the AC7 fan on full blast

Everything is telling me different now so just very confused! Would LOVE to believe asus probe, but i don't know! Another reseat in order? or a Tuniq? :)

Really not sure if it could be attributed to too much AS5? or not Enough? :confused:
 
You lowered to VCore (the voltage on the CPU) and the temp went up? Strange...

Put it back to where to was, in small steps to see what happens to the temps.
 
With case sides off, the temp on both cores is down from between 57-54 ( :eek: ) to 47-51ish (CPU temp in Everest is still 25c), i'll try lowering the v-core a tad more tomorrow (Already late for birthday dinner for gf's granddad!) But please mate, any extra advise you have but be greatly appreciated as i'm really not enjoying this worrying :(

Thanks so much so far guys!

Thats quite odd after reseating and lowering volts it still is reporting those high temps on the cores even on full speed. Are you using different apps to analyse the temperatures here? Just to eliminate application error.

Other than following Melbournes advise by doing this in smaller steps it seems the AC7 isn't doing its job properly or your chip is melting! But until you try another cooler you can't make any assumptions yet. If and when you have finished testing volts and the temperatures remain, I would suggest getting yourself a cooler. I would recommend a Noctua NH-U12F ;) See my temps earlier and noise is almost no existent!
 
Asus probe is only reading the socket temp, id go by the actual core temps, as you see everest is saying 25 for the CPU, but the actual cores are 56-58, which is correct as the cores will be hotter than the socket, as the CPU temp of 25 will be the socket temp, your BIOS also reads the socket temperature, so chances are thats in the 20's to, as my BIOS says my CPU is only doing about 31-32, but core temp says 44-45, core temps are the accurate ones, and those are hot in the 50's, must be something wrong somewhere if thats with the Ac7 on full blast, as as i said mines only running half speed of about 1200rpms and my cores are only 44-45. :)

Thanks Mishima, am at my gf's right now so just bit the bullet & ordered a Noctua for if the worst comes to the worst, i'm thinking there must be some VERY poor contact between the heatsink & cpu right now, when i took off the heatsink for the first time with the stock thermal paste, only about 1/4 of the cpu was even cated with any compound, so i'm not sure if the connection between the cpu & cooler was pants or what, but i'm prepared to chalk it down to experience and use the Noctua on monday, but until then i need to use the pc for 10+ hours of work tomorrow, 7 on saturday and 7 on monday, so i'm thinking of calling it a day with the Arctic, taking it out, cleaning the CPU up, banging the stock intel one on for a few days and just hoping that works ok for now, would that be a good idea just to maintain stability?

Also, as i'm a WoW addict *shudders at the thought of 3 days without playing it* What kind of temps on the cores would be expected w sotck intel cooler? and would anything of under 45c or so, per core be ok for gaming with? (Don't think wow is too cpu intensive!!)

Hoping the Noctua will fit in my Akasa Eclipse case, its the size of a bloody aircraft hanger so it'd better :D

Thanks - The compulsive buyer!

If I would was you I'd personally stick with the Arctic for the time that you have until the new cooler comes. It should perform better than the Intel HS/F and not be as noisy, plus if you do remove it for the stock and then the Noctua its a lot of fiddling about without any real need. When you do fit the Noctua, give the CPU a good clean, so its nice and shiny it will help. Remember a very thin layer of paste when fitting too, its all in the manual anyway and its quite a helpful one, you should have it fitted in no time. It should fit in your Akasa case, it fits in my Akasa Zen with about 2" of clearance :)
 
Sure thing, thanks for your help Mishima, all i want to do right now is get it safe, and stable for when working, i hate to have to worry about it and just want to get piece of mind with it for the next couple days (I get back home tomorrow 30 mins before pc is needed for a big online work conference call) so i was thinking if i put on the Intel one for a few days, say it idles at 46ish maybe? per core, i'd be happy & content and can live with the noise for a day or two, i just don't wanna load everest, see 60+ temps and foul myself :D

I would love to keep going with the AC7, but it would also reassure me my chip was ok if the Intel cooler does its job, but i totally see what you're saying mate :)

I just honestly want to say, thankyou to all of you who have replied here & helped thus far, helped me to calm down after the occurance earlier and i REALLY appreciate the time you have gone to in order to give me feedback and help, really helpful here & i am very appreciative of your help & advice, hope that noctua is something very special!!

Thanks....AGAIN! :D
 
Not a problem at all, glad to have been able to help you out. Your chip should be fine at its current temps they just aren't desirable. They should be lower than they currently are and it hinders you trying to overclock the chip (if thats what you wanted to do) so you have nothing to worry about over the next few days :). Were you getting better temperatures on the stock intel cooler?

You will be happy with that Noctua ;) trust me, its a whopper. If that doesn't shift temperatures down then there is something wrong with the chip itself. Not all chips are the same baring in mind, because there are lots of productions they do vary slightly so you aren't going to get bang on similar temperatures to another person with the same chip.
 
Arghh just saw the Noctua is out of stock :( daaamn!! But i will be waiting avidly!!

Will let you know tomorrow how the stock intel one does, system is only 3 days old in ths build :D

Thanks AGAIN! :D

Right, well back home now, and temps are looking like this:

Coretemp:

Core 0 - 44c (now 48)
Core 1 - 46c (now 51)

Asus probe II
Cpu - 38c
Mobo - 30c

Nvidia Monitor gpu - 52c

Avalance:

Mobo - 33c
Cpu - 25c
Cpu Core 0 - 45c
Cpu Core 1 - 47c
Aux 38c

This is with the AS7 on full pelt and the side off, called OcUK and they actually did have one Noctua left and are shipping it to me to get here tomorrow (Saturday) :)

All in all, i'm confused, but hoping tomorrow all will be fine!! :)

Hi all, just a quick update on how everything seems to be going..

Ordered a Noctua on Saturday night after finally finding them in stock somewhere, got home from the gf's this morning and decided it was time to have another crack at it!

Turned it on, core idles were around 54/56, sod this i thought, working this evening, so i have all day to try anything i can think of..

AC7 comes off, for the umpteenth time..

Fiddle with stock HS and have real trouble getting the clips in, get lunch, try again, clips being absolute little *insert fatherless expletive* watch top gear same pushpin trouble, scream in terror, watch fresh prince of bel air sorf ocuk forums on lappy for 45 mins, last try with stock HS/fan give up, look dissaprovingly at it, groan with displeasure, clean off the CPU & AC7 and get ready for mounting number 11...if not more!

After about 20 mins of getting ready for more dissapointment, i push it all back together, blob of AS5 in the middle of the CPU, one pin plays havoc with me, scream, gently (yep, still got some patience left lol) remove the AC7, notice a bit of the lower middle of the CPU hasn't got the AS5 spread, add a tiny wee smidgen, grab AC&, pray, push the little bugger back on and get all clips in (Yep, about bloody time)

Fired up the PC thinking *If it just idles under bloody 50, i'll be happy*

So now, with the case side off, AC7 on full and after having it on 10-15 mins, i'm seeing this (Vcore is dropped to 1.28 in bios, showing 1.26 in Avalanche)




So hopefully...maybe...just maybe i've finally nailed the SOB!! If i can get idle temps around 40c with case side on and Ac7 on 1700rpm, i'm gonna be SUCH a happy bunny after this week of hell!! :D

Fingers crossed for the future!!

All in all, i think thats 15 reseats :) never give up!! :D

Hadn't seen your post.. Seems to be working a little cooler which is good, you probably have your Noctua now though so that should remove even more heat from your CPU. Look forward to hearing from you when you have it installed!
