EurekAlert reports that Engineering researchers at the Columbia University if Engineering and Applied Science have discovered a way to have a WiFi chip transmit and receive on the same frequency on a single antenna simultaneously, massively increasing the throughput capacity. I think this is great. It can only mean further improvements in wireless technology and the researchers at the university have something to be proud of. EE Times say that funding is being provided so that carriers are encouraged to adopt the technology so that it can be implemented more quickly and hopefully be put into effect relatively cheaply. Interesting stuff. 1. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-04/cuso-wcd041316.php 2. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329466

It was the case. Just transplanted everything into a Fractal Design Define R5 and it almost halved my temps. The fans in the old case were utter shite too.

MSI z97 Gaming 5. It has OC genie but it's not running. The room I'm in tends to be quite warm during the day too to bear in mind but it still idles at 50 at night. To everyone, do you think that getting a more open case and with more than just 2 fans (3 maybe) will be enough to make the temps more reasonable?
-
Sure. Sorry for bad mouse writing.

Haven't used the stock one. I was thinking bout checking temps with it but then I think I only have one fitting worth of paste left besides the pre-applied stuff on the stock one so I'd have to identify the problem before doing any more refitting.
-
Yes. The paste that comes with the cooler. Have reapplied a couple times. Second time I used a bit more, possibly even a touch to much to make sure. Getting to the point where I need to ask for help before fiddling more because I don't want to run out of paste and have an unusable machine on my hands till I get a more.

No the 4790-k isn't the old one. It's the new one but it is running hot. My old CPU was an AMD Athlon 2 x4 860k. THAT was ancient, though not too shabby compared to scrapyard wars standards. Also how do I do that? I assume it's a bios option?
-
i7 4790-k I hear it's a hot chip anyway but this is quite insane. Weird that it doesn't go higher though. It generally holds about 72-ish degrees. I'm not too worried about the high-ish temps under load but isn't it odd that it's idling so high? I've seen people saying they get 40 degrees stock idling on the same cpu.
-
I would but rather than cages it's more like 2 strips of metal which look to be a part of the case structure. Riveted in. I'd need to get tools and cut it out which leave the drives in a less sturdy mount and it could potentially compromise the case. Should I just try to get a new one as soon as possible because obviously these temps can't be good fot the lifespan on the processor.

So I have recently upgraded my ancient motherboard and CPU. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo at the same time as the other parts and installed it straight away. The temps seem really weird to me though. it idles at 50-60 degrees Celsius, depending on the core you count, which is hotter than stock I believe (according to what I can tell from looking online), but it maxes out at about 72 with occaisonal spikes to almost 80. The entire time it is technically under the upper limit of the safe operating temperature but is that idle temp too high? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the cooler to check that it is sufficiently coated with thermal paste and that the mount is tight enough. Is the problem simply that my case has shit airflow with only 2 120mm fans with drive cages and cables in the way due to the lack of cable management options(in an effort to improve this situation I put them in the back of the case and let the panel bow out, it hasn't got enough room for the GPU power cables or any really). The attached picture shows the Open Hardware Monitor readouts for temps by core and overall load over 6 hours.
