Rehit Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 i got the QX6800 running on the Maximus Formula board last night. i just couldn't resist any longer... the temps seem to be running a tad high, even with the Ultra120 cooler. yes... i used Artic Silver, and did so properly... i have a 133CFM Scythe fan on there now, and am going to add a high speed Yate Loon on the opposite side in a push pull config this afternoon. right now the temps are 42,36,32, and 35. it does manage to stay below 60 loaded. that is at 3.207 267X12 as a comparison my FX-60 is about 28 and 20 at idle in the same room. there is some grumbling on the web that the temps may actually be inflated by an error in the BIOS... could the temps actually be lower and just be reported incorrectly?

hardnrg Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 you should state the vcore when asking about temperatures as changing the vcore has a direct impact on the CPU temperatures here are some results with the non-extreme Ultra 120: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/noctua_nh_u12p/5.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I have never trusted BIOS or software temp readings. To get accurate temps you should use a temp probe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehit Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 the vcore is 1.29 which is what it set on auto. the only thing i did was bump the multi from 11-12. i will get at overclocking it this afternoon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehit Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 i added one of the high speed Yate Loon fans to the Ultra Extreme in a push pull config with the 133CFM Scythe fan. temps during 3DMark 01 and 06 did not go over 55C. perhaps they will back up some more as the AS5 cures... this is at 3475.7@267X13 idle 40 load 55 at stock voltage. 3DMark 06 14612 3DMark01 61765 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Take it off of auto and set it yourself. Cable management looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehit Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 it is not on auto... it is all on manual. i just bumped the multi from 11-13. one of the reasons i sprung for the QX chip. now i am going to start creeping up with the FSB leaving the ram at 1:2. i am hoping i can get to 277X13 which will put me at 3601. i just have to keep an eye on the temps...
