| 359260 | 2005-05-29 06:57:00 | Hi, got a problem to address with you all. Hope someone can help. I'm running a P4 LGA775 3.4ghz cpu 800mhz fsb. I have it bolted to an Abit AA8XE 3rd eye mobo (Intel 925XE chipset.) It's in an aluminium antec case with the 2 120mm case fans, power supply fan, cpu and heatsink fan, and north port mobo fan just below cpu. Now, i have applied some thermal compound, quality silver stuff. Bolted it to the mobo and fired it up. It started running hot at about 70*c, viewing constant tempereture with the external mobo monitor clock. The temp flucuates alot, and generally sits at about 50*c on idle, up to about 70 when performing. It has not been oc'd at all ever, and i have removed, cleaned and reapplied compound. Aaron :D I have a 3.6 I have just built into an ASUS P5AD2 using just the standard heatsink that came with the CPU. At idle it runs at a constant 35 degrees and when working full out it runs at a constant 60 degrees. It goes up and down between depending on load. As soon as it comes off full load the drop in temperature is rapid. On the other hand my 3.2Ghz running with a huge Zalman cooler runs at around 36 at idle and have seen it get to 73 degrees under full load but it is as stable as they come. One thing to note is that MB/CPU sensors are not that accurate and may be way out in what they are actually telling you. Only true way is to use proper calibrated probes. |
