| 1308401 | 2012-10-23 23:56:00 | MB: ASUS P8-Z68 V-Pro CPU: i7 2600 3.4GHZ with stock heaksink cooling RAM: 8 GB Just performed a Max CPU heat burnin test with Passmark Burnin Test V7.0 and found that it has reached pretty high temp: 95 deg C. Idle temperature < 40 deg C with hardware monitor and <30 deg C with AI-Suite II. Checked the stock heatsink is seated properly and all the fans are clean and working OK. Got the CM CPU cooler Hyper 212 Plus but it could not be installed as the Case's MB tray (CoolerMaster Centurion 590 - old ver, inherited from previus system) has a very small opening below the CPU, which has no room for the back-plate and the tightening bolts. - bad design. Needs modification if I were to install this cooler. Your views, and suggestions are appreciated. |

| 1308402 | 2012-10-24 00:16:00 | Update: This PC is slightly over 1 year old and it has been running fine. Do I need to remove the stock heatsink and re-apply thermal paste and reassemble it? Will this help to cool it down? Cheers |

| 1308403 | 2012-10-24 00:22:00 | download either Real Temp or Core Temp, while neither are totally acurate, it should give a better indication of your cpu temp. I would have thought you should be around 30 or a bit less at idle and no more than 60ish or maybe pushing 70 (max) under extreme load. 95 deg is pretty extreme (its Tcase is probably around the 72 deg. mark), so your heat sink and/or fan isnt doing much at all. Even for the stock one it should be doing better. Also check you have good ventilation though your case to heat remove the heat. Does it have any case fans? |

| 1308405 | 2012-10-24 00:37:00 | 27-30 sounds pretty spot on and ventilation sounds good. Does the cpu fan increase in speed as the heat increases? I wouldnt have thought you should need to replace the paste being only a 1yr old. You're not over-clocking it by any chance? | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1308406 | 2012-10-24 00:45:00 | No OC, I only enabled the TPU switch (Turning this switch to Enable will automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds.- according to the MB's user manual)on the MB. Didn't notice the increase in CPU speed. |

| 1308407 | 2012-10-24 00:51:00 | Update: Just run the Test again and the CPU fan did increase in speed. |

| 1308410 | 2012-10-24 04:24:00 | Stating the obvious :rolleyes: if you are running a stress test then of course the heat will increase and the fan if working correctly will increase in speed to try and cool better. If you have removed the heatsink at any stage you should replace the paste each time. It creates a seal between the CPU and Heatsink. Not having a good seal will increase heat as the cooling is not working as it should. |
