hi guys just thought i would let you know that prolimatech pk3 thermal paste is awesome.i have a sabertooth 990fx,[email protected],titan fenrir(push,pull)heatsink.used the pea method to apply the paste my idle temps are 16
degrees and prime95 full load 43degrees @1.236v.thats for everday use :)

now before the pk3 i had artic silver 5.i have a 4.5ghz profile in bios with 1.38v my temps with artic silver 5 were 31 idle and 68 prime95 full load.with the pk3 they are 25 idle and never go above 58 under prime95.best thermal paste ive ever used,just waiting for my water cooler now :)
 
lol serious why would i lie?

and for your information ive just got 4.5ghz with all power saving on c states ect ect idle temp goes to 11 degrees.please do not try to make me out to be a liar
 
What is the program that you are using to measure the temperature? Core Temp doesn't work properly most of the time with AMD, I think HWMonitor works ok.
 
hi guys i dont know the ambient temp but im sat at my pc in my boxer shorts lol.i use hwmonitor and amd overdrive the temps are exactly the same with both programs

its the c states enabled that keep the temps down because the v-core fluctuates up and down from as low as 0.98v to 1.365 under load,the only things i turn off in bios are cool and quite because this makes the cpu freq go as little as 300mhz it flutuates way to much for an overclock of 4.5ghz when you start a stress test,all that happens is hardware failure but turned off stable as anything,and turbo core(waste of time)

i just set my cpu ratio to 22.5x200=4500ghz then just leave the voltage control on offset and just up the offset voltage for what overclock i want(temp limted).62degrees at the moment under prime95

lol I never called you a liar I just said it seemed unlikely meaning could be a wrong reading.
 
pics please im finding it hard to believe since im running near the same setup but with a noctua nh-u12p and mx4 my lowest is 27 idle and 59 load ambient room is around 26 and that is at 4.2 stock volts llc at high
 
The remount of the cooler could have something to do with the bettewr temps as well - may not have been mounted so well before. Still glad your happy with the results.

hi again everyone thought i would post a screen shot so you funny guys who dont believe me can see i do not lie they are not faulty readings i do not get 1 degree difference in high and low temps this is my 4.2ghz overclock which i use 24/7

all i tried to do with this thread is let people know how good prolimatech pk3 thermal paste is.maybe go buy some then you can come back and say sorry :)

You just CANNOT physically get a temp lower than ambient, not with passive cooling. End of.

It's simple thermodynamics. All the cooler will do is equalise the temperature between the CPU and the ambient / system temperature. If the probe gives you a temp lower than your system temp, then it's wrong at some level. Either software calibration, or defective.

Those readings are wrong, the cores cannot physically be running cooler than the CPU their in. Id advise you ignore the temps of the cores and focus on the CPU temp until you can get some more accurate readings.
 
As above.
CPU below room temperature isn't happening unless you're using some very specialized cooling equipment.

Nobody's calling you a liar mate. Your readings are what's in question here, that all :)
 
if i turn off all c states ect and i set manual voltage my idle is over 20 degrees
but when the voltage is only 0.89 when idle with cstates on it never goes above 14 degrees until i load it then i get high temps upto 60 degrees before i used pk3 they were min 20 max 68 in every temp software so how are my readings wrong when they were right with artic silver 5 on par with other temps ive seen in the forum with amd setups


so please tell me what software or program you would like me to use to prove this?
 
or please could you use my settings

all c/states and power saving features on everything else on defaults then post your results,i to said WTF but i think its all the power saving on that gives the new temps as ive never oveclocked before with them on i always turned everything off ive been overclocking for 3 years never used those features so please try them yourself and get back to me with the results

you ask me to prove it i say to you disprove it with your results

We don't need too, "all c/states and power saving features on" is the the default on a CPU that hasn't been over clocked or tampered with and it still isn't possible to get the temperatures your showing.

To put it in perspective imagine if somebody showed you a pan of boiling water with a thermometer sticking in it showing -9c, you would think something was up wouldn't you, that's the same situation here (but nowhere near as extreme obviously).
