GodlyManDude540 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Do you think it would be ok to run? I still need to lap my V8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copie Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 ive got mine at 3.8ghz and sits at 64 degrees through 95 and occt. Thats with an extra 120mm fan zip tied to it though. (CM v8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martian_aphid Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 don't own i7 but i'm pretty sure thats too much. ultimately its up to you what you are comfortable with but personally despite them running hot i'd like mine the lower side of 80!

GodlyManDude540 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 yeah i will lap it and try again hey copie what is your vcore @? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 It's hot but you won't do much better than that under air cooling I wouldn't run that 24/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 92C is too hot for an i7. The max I would run the 920 is around 82C and that would be for very very short periods of time. These chips run extremely hot and at those speeds it's going to be hard to keep it cool on air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 ok imm looking into WC anyway I will clock it down for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 With stock fans my TRUE and Noctua both gave me 84C at 3.9 with 1.42 volts. HIgh? Yes but with 8 threads running you can expect those temps on air with out massive airflow through your cooler. Now with one of my 920s at 4.1 I was running in the 70's with a dual fan rad. With my 965 at 3.9 on water and a tri fan rad I am in the 60s Celsius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I swapped out the fan on the v8 with one that pushes more air should a strap another fan to the side of it? Do u think that would help? tons of fans always helped my k6 systems stay cool lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Heck OCCT testing at 3.2 is yielding 70C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_8 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I swapped out the fan on the v8 with one that pushes more air should a strap another fan to the side of it? Do u think that would help? tons of fans always helped my k6 systems stay cool lol To be honest no. It really won't do anything for it. The reason why the V8 isn't that good is because the fins are very far from the base of the sink where the majority of the heat is. It is dissipating heat, but it the fins were say and inch from the base of the heatpipes they would be much more effective, and that's where another fan would be useful, to get as much cool air going as possible. But when there is already a shortage so to speak of heat in the actual cooling fins, then adding another won't do anything. I know that my HDT-S1283 had no difference from 1-2 fans. Just my $0.02.
