NikoDG Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I did my first run of Prime 95 on ym new system today, and I monitored my temps using the built in X79 Sabertooth Thermal Radar. The only temperature I saw that really stood out was the VCORE temp, which rose to 82C in an hour, at which time I decided to abort until I could get a little feedback from you guys. How high can my VCORE safely go without risking damage from overheating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black64 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I have a 3930K, on an ASUS X79 Sabertooth motherboard. Â Your fine, but you still may want a better cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, I plan on installing a water cooling set-up once my Cosmos II arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremiumAcc Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 You are fine. Anything in the low to mid 80C is acceptable. The TJMax temp for the 3930k is at about 86C I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Awesome, but I think I'll leave my board at base volts for now I can't wait for that damn case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumAcc Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) The watercooling will probably cut your present vcore temp by at least half. You're telling me. I am in the same boat.

NikoDG Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 At least your has shipped, I think Cosmos II doesn't even ship in Canada until the 23rd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumAcc Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah but the funny thing is... I bought the remaining parts for my rig on the same day and the case will be the last thing to arrive (it is going to take approx. 1 week for it to get here). Until then I will run my rig on a Newegg box. I think I should join the OCC's USPS gripe group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 So I ran Prime 95 a little longer this time, VCORE hit 87C, that's on stock settings. That shouldn't be happening should it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
