Utmost Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) My idle temps through realtemp, coretemp, and CPUID HM all show 53,51,47,50 for my 4 cores. Under prime95 they get close to 80. I have reapplied thermal and reseated my artic freezer pro 7 and I dropped maybe 1 degree. I am running an OC of 3.2 ghz with a 1.29375 vcore. CPU-Z puts my actual voltage at 1.280. I thought these chips were supposed to idle around 30ish and hit 50 under load? Should I be concerned?

Bandrew Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) That is a bit high, but then again you are running a good bit of voltage through your chip, and you CPU Cooler is not the best. You should try to keep your core temps in the low 70s. If you can try to back down the volts a bit, or get a new CPU cooler. I personally like the CM hyper 212+ as a budget cooler.

Utmost Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I thought that cooler was decent.. I'd love to run less voltage, but prime fails quickly. I think I want a new CPU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
