Burple Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 So I just bought this new PC, with cooler master case haf 932 and it came with the Cooler Master V8 CPU fan. I was wondering what everyone thought about this cpu fan. I am experiencing high CPU temps and so far I have re-seated my CPU fan, upgraded+added all new fans with better configurations for air cooling. and my temps still seem too high So all that being said, im wondering if this cooler master v8 is just a peice of junk and if I would be better off using the stock CPU fan until I can pick up a decent one.

potatochobit Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 exactly what are you temperatures that seem too high? what is your CPU and your voltage settings? and do you know how to apply thermal paste properly? you didn't do something like this, right?

Burple Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Temps are low of 39 with a high of 66 (3DMark06 put the high at 73) as far as the CPU and voltage settings I havn't touched them. All stock settings. And yes I applied the thermal grease properly a light even coat across the whole thing minus about 30 Thousands of an inch from the sides to assure that it would not seep over the sides. Does ambient temp make that much of a difference? ambient was around 40c today when I checked my temps/benchmarked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) ambient makes a huge difference isn't 40 kind of hot? 39 seems perfectly normal, not sure what you are running though, from the high number sounds like intel? but if your computer is not overclocked, I'm not too sure about the high numbers but they are definitely safe Edited August 26, 2010 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burple Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Yes lol 40 is very hot. today's temp was 112F I am using an Intel I7 930 I heard that hyper-threading will increase temps as well it came stock running 8 threads, would lowering that help?

GodlyManDude540 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I wouldnt worry about those temps they are just fine and they will go down with the ambient temp as well so when its not 112F out u will see the diff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
