Xeon cpu cooling problem

[nepekar]

Xeon e5-2640v3, bought tower cooler with 200tdp, temps show 50-60 on normal workload and it goes up to 70-ish with heavy workload. The strange part is that temps are the same both in stock and overclocked situations. What could be the reason?

What cooler? The v3s aren't overclockable. Are you just locking it's boost state at max all core?

Yeah perfectly normal temps. Could be that your fan curve becomes more aggresive rapidly around 70c

 

Either way that a cold cpu under max load

 

Do a stock and boostlocked cinebench run to see if the boostlock properly worked. Scores should vary a decent bit

checked on cinebench long time ago, boostlock worked fine. The problem is that sometimes i see temps like 70-80 when temp limit set on e5 2640v3 seems to be 74. Is it ok that it goes over limit or I just misunderstood what this value is for?

74 is just a warning in the bios the xeons max temp before shutdown and damage is 105c
