rud3bwoy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) oK SO THE ABS canyon build is done now at load at 3.0 ghz temps are at low 60s and won't move 3.6 temps are mid 70s and won't move and 4.0 which i got stable it hits 93 c and goes down to 87 c,is this normal or not?i am just thinking of leaving it to 3.0 as it is the safest so i assume my q9550 use to never pass 43 c at full load at 3.6 ghz Edited May 24, 2009 by rud3bwoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocre Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 oK SO THE ABS canyon build is done now at load at 3.0 ghz temps are at low 60s and won't move 3.6 temps are mid 70s and won't move and 4.0 which i got stable it hits 93 c and goes down to 87 c,is this normal or not?i am just thinking of leaving it to 3.0 as it is the safest so i assume my q9550 use to never pass 43 c at full load at 3.6 ghz I would be much afraid of those temps. Try re setting your heat sink and fan. My cpu was running up in the 40s to high 50s when i checked my cpufan and it just wasnt spinning. It had went out and i have no idea for how long. I know it had to be a while and i didnt notice. I got lucky it didnt burn up my cpu. The only thing that saved me was my H.S. was so huge it kept the cpu <70 even without the fan. I was wondering why my folding kept rebooting my computer. Anywayz Those temps are high in my book. Too high. So see if its accurate if the H.S. isnt the problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rud3bwoy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) i am on water cooled.only creeps up there at 4.0 ghz at volts of 1.37 3.0 ghz and 3.6 don't seem to be a issue Edited May 24, 2009 by rud3bwoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Ya man, that is WAY to high, and If i remember you are on watercooling so your heatsink might be placed VERY badly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rud3bwoy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 the guy who did my build di it before no issues doubt its the heat sink to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rud3bwoy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 take a look at the build youtube tjharlow and tell me if anything might be wrong via heat sink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Sure is a shame that a $3K+ custom build won't do 4 Ghz without overheating. What are the specs of the system (rad,block,cpu)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9KRacing Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 If it idles at 30ish degrees and loads to 90 its your H.S. Without question. I don't really know anything about water cooling though, do you still mount a sink on the chip the same way as with air? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Ya its not a sink its basically the base which connects to water, on an air heatsink it is a base which connect to fins which the fans cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
