hawkin90 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Used core temp the last year or so. Worked great for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 anybody uses Aida64? I do when benching. I usually just have real temp gt and speedfan running so I can see the temps in the taskbar. But when you bench, it is good to run a few different temp and voltage monitors and not just trust one or two. As they may be reporting in error. With more monitors you can get a better average, as well as being able to see if any reading looks way off compared to the others.

The one part that has me worried is your northbridge... I hope that the 60C temp is reported in error otherwise the airflow around the nb heatsync isn't exactly the best.

sword_fish Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 i have the cooler master V8 cooler with Tuniq TX-3 TIM, yeah those are the actual reading as i was browsing. okay, got these three monitors running now; seems they all reads the same, what do you think? about the NB? quite a long story but will try to; i have the MSI X58 Pro-E board, and i believe that most of us (global i guess) who owned those X58 series board from MSI had that NB high temps since day one we built our PCs due to crappie TIM that MSI used with our NB heatsinks. i used to have a 76 deg C boot up temp and will reach as high as 90s for just browsing which left me worried. a friend suggested to mod/fix my NB heatsink like everybody does with their X58 boards. you may read my story how i did it by scrolling down here and some pics here showing that crappie TIM from MSI as i dissect my board; the NB ; the South Bridge chip; NB & SB heatsinks; i took the risk to void my warranty doing that mod, and yeah i have the hesitation in the first place cause it was my first time doing such challenging stuffs. but seems everybody does it cause some even tried to contact MSI regarding with the issue but they never heard a word from them(MSI). but i was glad to see how good it came out with my aggressiveness, what i know was; my NB temps now gone better. what really puzzled me was the difference between the CPU temp with the Core's 1~4 at Aida64 and here's how she is today BTW; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
