hi all just curious as to what temperatures people are getting at stock with these cpus because atm im hitting around 37-40 degrees with my new set up (e2180/p5n-e sli/arctic freezer pro 7 all inside my akasa eclipse pro case ) on core temp call me paranoid but im not sure if i have splodged too much as5 on to my processor

also what temps are people getting at stock with the stock hsf that comes with it ??

thnx

i have 2 120mm fans one at the front of the case (intake) and one at the back (out take) i put a little more than shown on the diagram and also a few dots towards the opposite sides of the line

also just finished running prime 95 for an hour and both cores reached around 55 degrees on load so i was wondering what kind of temp increases i would expect when i begin trying to overclock (im going for 3ghz being as this will be my first serious oc attempt)

thnx

I've got the 2180 running at 3.0ghz on my other machine with the Arctic freezer, with the CPU stress testing my temps were about 50-55c.
I would suspect you might need to upgrade your cooler.

The easy way would be to overclock to 2.2ghz and stress test to check the temps then increase the speed slowly until you reach a maximum temp of around 65-70c I personaly wouild not go above them temps.

Hope the above helps

Line method is tricky the idea is you put the line on then rotate the heatsink clockwise and counter clockwise a few degrees to smudge it, always found it gives me worse temps, i apply a thin layer like half a grain of rice over the surface area literally wafer thin so it just about covers up the cpu that you cant see the metal.
Then another half grain of rice size in middle and bung my heatsink on.
55 Load at stock doesn't sound good i would definitely look at a reseat.

Try the stock heatsink and see what temps you get if lower you know you are putting too much silver on and or it's a bad contact.
You may well have a concave cpu or heatsink yet though.

thnx ill see if putting the stock heatsink on with the pre aplied paste/pad on the bottom lowers my temperatures a little later to see what teperatures i get then .I have no more as5 atm so ill have to live with that for a few days until i can get hold of another tube

thnx

From what you just said, I'm guessing you used far too much AS5 the 1st time round. If you've not got any left, then you're probably using too much.

If you look at the instructions in post #2, that should help. You're looking to put no more than the equivalent size of 1 grain of rice on.
 
Make sure you're using CoreTemp 0.96.1 as they've just changed the TJ Max back to 85c after having it at 100c for the last 2 releases.

This will show a 15c drop in reported temps, which on my E2180 is more in line with the temps I was getting on the same system with an E2140 and Q6600 in it.

There has been much debate about whether the E2180 M0 stepping is a 100c or 85c TJ Max temp, but the people who make CoreTemp seem to have decided on the latter as being correct, and as I say this is consistent with other Core2 based CPU's that have been in my system.
 
While the heatsink is off check it for flatness with the edge of a steel rule, It may want a lapping session to get the best contact.
 
thnx every one i had a look first thing this morning i ran prime for an hour and the fan on my freezer pro seemed to still be blowing out cold air but i did notice that the edge of the heatsink was being pushed up by the cooler on the northbridge. So after taking of the heatsink (damm clips are a pain) i could clearly see that one side of the heatsink wasnt making contact, i cleaned the bottom of the heatsink and removed the as5 from it and spread the as5 on the cpu so it just covered the metal just like c64 said ,i reseated the heatsink so the fan was facing the northbridge (not ideal but the northbridge feels a little toasty so the extra cool air should help i guess) im now getting more sensible temps 30 degrees idle and 40 degrees on load after the greese has burned in a little if should drop a few more degrees i guess so once again thanks i can start to think about overclocking now with less of a chance of the computer smoking more than Vera Duckworth

Why did you remove the pre-applied paste?
Click to expand...

The pre applied paste on that cooler is fine, Ive used it on a E2180 build and at 3.3ghz (1.4v during load) it idles in the low 30s and tops out in Orthos at 62C. The only thing different is that i lapped the cpu but only a little as it wasnt far off being flat.
The retention clips are easy to attach and remove i as far as im concerned.
Remember that TIM is there to fill in the microscopic holes in the CPU heatspreader and base of the HS caused during manufacturing, it shouldnt be thought of as a layer as such. On my main machine with a lapped E6300 and lapped waterblock i tested several thicknesses and the most effective was an incredibly thin layer (thin enough to see the CPU heatspreader through). Less is deffo more.
 
I'm using a Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 with a 120mm Panaflo in an Antec P180 and I'm getting 45C which is way too much for stock speed and volts! :/ :rolleyes:

I know I need to reseat my heatsink but the mere thought of taking everything apart again makes me want to break down in tears :o

I'll do some small FFTs in a bit and update.

Oh, btw, the TRUE isn't lapped... it has a few scratches on the bottom of it, caused by me holding a razor blade against the base and looking at it against the light to see whether it needs lapping. Ironic isn't it? :rolleyes:

EDIT: 45C running SmallFFTs (actually occasionally drops to 43 and sometimes briefly rises to 46, but never stays there long)

ive placed on the stock heatsink for a while now (getting some more as5 tommorow ) and after an hour or two im idling at around 32-35 degrees im going to lap my ac7 because im no where near happy with the base of the heatsink, it looks like it hasnt been finished imo and being as i could only feel cool air coming out of it it could be the problem with my temps. Ill have a bash at doing the cpu aswell i think it cant hurt anything
