Hey guys, just put my new rig together but I feel a bit hard done by, as the temps are maybe a little higher than what I'd hoped (Although it has been quite a warm ambient temp).

The CPU itself is on stock clocks right now, and the cooling is a H60 with a single Akasa Apache fan cooling it. The fan is on a fan controller which is on max right now and the pump is in the cpu fan header.

Here's the temps;

On load (Intel Burn Test) it's averaging about 60c, which is 2.8GHz (Turboboost) which I didn't think was too bad considering it really has been warm lately (With the stock cooler in my old case it was idling at 70c :/)

Any feedback?

thats about normal. the corsair watercoolers arent great for idle temps, but do give nice load temps. the load temps look about normal for that chip too.

just curious, did you get a lot of the parts 2nd hand? it looks like you've built the top end PC from two years ago

If you're referring to the sig, that's my old one. :D Other than the i5, mobo and memory everything else is brand new. Was going to go for sandybridge but couldn't justify the price for what I would actually use it for. :)

The full spec is;

i5 CPU 750 Stock
4GB Memory
60GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD (1TB for other stuff)
AMD Radeon 6950 2GB
Asus P7P55D Intel P55
 
Right guys I've finally completed my first overclock on this i5, despite having it for nearly 18 months. :D

But, I seem to have conflicting readings from HardwareMonitor and CoreTemp, as seen below;

Which one do I trust? I'm guessing CoreTemp as it seems to be a more popular monitoring tool than HWMonitor, but just for clarification?

Oh, and are the temps any good?

1.32v is a fair bit for that chip @ 3.8GHz temps look ok though, and there's not a great deal of discrepancy between the two its probably within margin of error, from what I have been led to believe those sensors are not that accurate... I would...

download speedfan, see what that says about the temps and which program it agrees with

and google the model of your motherboard and problems with either hwmonitor or coretemp, i have heard of some motherboards having issues relaying temps to certain programs

hope this helps
 
I must have god a bad chip or my overclocking skills aren't so great, as lowering the voltage by any amount causes it to become unstable after a few runs of IBT. :(

Downloaded speed fan and it's showing temps pretty much the same as CoreTemp, so I suppose that's the one to trust. :)
 
sounds good to me, actually i checked and my 860 is at 1.288v on the same clock as yours so your vcore isn't that bad sorry! for some reason i was thinking 3.4GHz *facepalm*
