Enderfect Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Hello i know a few people made some posts about this case this is my second build But ive been left slightly confused by some results that hopefully some more avid people can assist me with... /Deep inhale soooooo i have the Cooler master 912 Case i have 2 120s intakeing from the front 1 120 on the side intakeing a 120 in the back exhausting and a 200mm on the top exhausting (Sound good? #1) however this is where my confusion begins the other day i went and picked up the cooler master Z520 CPU Cooler to replace my amd stock cooler Installed just fine however there wasnt that big a difference in temps on the cpu... on idle i coast around 38-40"C under full load i see it go to 50-58 max havent again done a stresstest/bench mark according to a couple sources my AMD FX 4100 Quad Core CPUs max operating tempature is 70"C this was a budget build for the record but it just doesnt seem right to me.. my stock cooler was doing just about the same temps and i read others about this CPU Cooler dropping theres by 8-10 degrees i dont exactly have it over clocked i have turbo on i also have a ATI Radeon HD 6850 but those temps are just perfectly fine 28"c idle 40-55" max load.. ive ran out of reasons -My Specs- MSI 970A-G42 Motherboard 8gigs Corsair Vengance Memory 1866Mhz AMD FX 4100 3.6Ghz ATI HD Radeon 6850 Inland 600watt Power Supply (Was forced to replace my other one long story) Thank you for reading hope someone can help me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locutus Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Try reapplying TIM? I've never heard of that cooler before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enderfect Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Im sorry your incapable of reading without puncuation nazi - try harder and i use my pc for gaming occasional downloading nothing extreme Whats TiM? As for my problem thats kinda why im here for ideas from people besides the obvious points like did you apply thermal paste is it contacting the cpu Edited June 4, 2013 by Enderfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Hi Ender TIM = Thermal Interface Material aka thermal grease, thermal paste, thermal tape etc. It's hard to determine why your aftermarket cooler isn't performing better than your OEM cooler. Based on your post your case fan configuration should be pretty good, and in fact pretty similar to a lot of other fan setups out there regardless of the case. How long did you heat up your case and components during the test? As asked earlier, ambient air temperature of the case has a lot to do with the observed cpu temperatures. It's possible that the OEM and aftermarket cooler are both on equal footing when it comes to dealing with the thermal output of your cpu. I guess it's also possible that you have a faulty aftermarket cooler. I'm not familiar with your exact aftermarket cooler, so I Googled it and can't find much.if anything about that particular cooler. Do you have a link? If so please provide. I'm assuming your CM cooler has a fan? If so, is it plugged into the system managed fan speed header on the motherboard (i.e. cpu fan header)? And if so do you have active cooling policies enabled (i.e. by temperature, voltage, pwm control?) The question I'm trying to get to is whether or not the cpu cooling fan is running at full speed or whether it is being throttled by the motherboard BIOS settings.

Enderfect Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I Think i found the solution for some reason my MSI board set cool'N'Quiet and gave the cpu a target temp of 40" so im stress testing it with all that disbaled now and i have yet to even go past 44" with prime95 and im monitoring it and im sorry my cpu cooler is (Coolder Master Hyper N520) Pretty big and i doubt its the same as amds stock lol its got like 6 heat pipes and its huge its setup as a push pull with 2 fans let me find you a link i just want to make sure all this is solved sorry im retarded its N520 i was reading it upside down lol its been a long day ya sorry about the TiM? i know what paste and grease is just not used to seeing it Trimmed lol http://microcenter.com/product/305926/Hyper_N520_Universal_CPU_Cooler http://microcenter.com/product/376784/FX_4100_Black_Edition_36GHz_Quad-Core_Socket_AM3_Boxed_Processor Edited June 4, 2013 by Enderfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Sounds like it is resolved. AMD CnQ cpu temperature target disabled = no more fan throttling when running the cpu fan off the motherboards' cpu fan header. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enderfect Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Ya i have no idea why it did that i was wondering why i kept seeing the cpu fan speed go from 1800rpm to 0 quickly i was like that cant be healthy and at least to my logic now its not restricted to just 1 low temp ive seen 10 passes/test now on Prime95 and havent seen myself go over 48" Im not to famillar with Prime95 and to be honest i dont have that much faith in MSI's Control panel by chance do you know a pretty accurate Tempature monitor? im not like noob noob! but something with a pretty easy interface would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
