Normal temps?

[han_solo]

hi there, just installed the H50 on my i7 C0 with no overclock at 2.66.

these temps look ok to you? the deviation between each core temp worries me slightly..should i get similar core temps or are these normal? thanks!!

36, 34, 38, 33

Not sure... how do people find out the ambient temp without a thermometer?

i would say my room is quite cool.. say around 21/22 deg.

let me run quick test and get back to you on load temps. thanks.

er.. just ran 'torture test'?? using prime95.. only for a few mins.

temps are:

62, 60, 61, 56


normal?

I only ask as the idle temps using my old TRUE were in the lower thirties

is now:

63, 61, 63, 57

It depends on the temperature on the room.

But yeah I would say they are a bit "high". Did you use the stock thermal paste that came with the cooler?

Temps will differ on each core, as core 1 and 2 are normally used the most. So different temps on each core's are fine.

I removed the stock paste and used Artic Silver 5... was expecting lower temps than my TRUE at least.

using the stock fan taking air from outside to inside the case.

I already reseated it once already.. might give it another go.

just tried it with one of my more powerful fans (silverstone fm121).. this thing pushes a lot of air.. to the point where it's crazy loud.

temps not that different.

not sure where i'm going wrong here but if i can't sort it out then i'm going to have to go back to my TRUE i'm afraid.

used different thermal paste this time: Thermalright The Chill Factor. Getting slightly better temps avg -1 on all cores. either i did a better mount this time or this stuff is better than AS5 which i find hard to believe?

oh well... it's not the end of the world and it makes my case look nice so i may as well stick with it.

thanks for all your help!!
