t0asty Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I just recently built a desktop with the specs in my signature. I have the Arctic Freezer Rev2 at 100% as well as the other 4 case fans. 2 intake, 2 exhaust which are above the cpu/fan and the 2 intake on the side and front of case. At stock settings as well as OC'd to 3.6ghz (can't go higher or I hit 100C+ instantly on Prime95) which idles at ~45-50C. Gaming and some decent cpu loads I will hit 85C. Prime95 for over 10 minutes will eventually creep up to mid 90's. My cpu voltage is 1.35V. I know i7s run hot, but I figured with a big case, wires tucked away and 5 fans I would be at max 70's on full load. I have arctic silver paste on very thin like many reviews online read. I am at a loss. Also the room temp is at max 23C and less with the windows open. I don't know what else I forgot to mention, but yeah, any help would be great.

N.E.A Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 nothing wrong , i guess . but , did you get the readings from bios ..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0asty Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Well it's realtemp that is giving me these readings. SpeedFan is saying almost 20C less and when I am in bios, the system is in the mid 30's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 nothing wrong , i guess . 100C isn't bad for a CPU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFan and Real Temp both have a calibration procedure that MUST be followed..Otherwise, the data is garbage..Read the calibration documentation.
