Hitch Itch Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I wanted to see the differance in temps in stock cpu setting vs oc cpu setting specs I7-920 cpu Asus P6T Deluxe mobo OCZ Platinum tri channel ddr3 1333mhz 6 gigs memory EVGA GTX260 core 216 55nm gpu WD 640 gig black edition HD coolermaster NV690 case pcp&c 750 SLI cert ps stock intel cpu cooler/stock thermal paste stock cpu temps at idle were 43-47c oc cpu temps at idle were 45-48c seems like a very little difference at idle my oc asus bios changed the ai tweaker from auto to manual set my blck from stock 133 to 167 set my dram frequency from auto to 1339 mhz ALL other settings left as is (auto) I ran prime 95 for 1/2 hour with stock cpu settings and 1/2 hour with oc cpu settings. there was about a 10c differance stock cpu setting running prime was about 70c oc cpu settings running prime was about 80c All I use this rig for is internet and fps gaming, I have not seen rise that high immediately after closing a game, I would suspect that the only time temp will get to 80c is during a prime test. even so 80 is a little on the high side for me so I will buy and aftermarket cooling soon. here are my screen shots of stock prime test and oc prime test Thoughts, recommendations? tx Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes_5 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Yeah, you definitely need an aftermarket cooler. Those temps on prime for just 1/2 hour is too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch Itch Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I just finished playing left 4 dead for 2 hours with all settings on Max and kept my cpuid running, the max temp any of the cores hit was 61c, yup still gonna get a aftermarket cooler, but I dont think I will ever get anywhere near that prime 95 temp of 80c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
