qx6850 and 212 evo

[Kodey116]

im seeing temps of 60c at idle with 2 af120s mounted on it.

 

the cpu is at 3.6 ghz not much voltage overclock my core is at 1.3125 and my fsb is at 1.275 not far from stock.

 

when stress tested it hits 70c as the test begins

When was the cooler fitted and by who? could be uneven surface pressure or not enough thermal compound

[paddy-stone]

Re-fit cooler, something has not been fitted correctly or the thermal paste isn't correct I'm guessing.

i put te cooler on i refittied it about 6 times today alone but no change in temp and im out of thermal paste at this point. ill have to wait till i order some more.

 

it is  a overclocked 130w cpu could that be atfault

No, not if it's hitting 60c at idle... unless your ambient temp is something like 50c, LOL... j/k

well could it be inadequitte thermal paste i got stuck using some artic ceramic oem stuff from radio shack as my ic diamond 7 was bad appearntly

[Kodey116]

also if it helps i have a h100i but no way to mount it as it doesnt support lga 775 unless someone has a ziptie trick that works good?

[paddy-stone]

Yes, it could be a number of things really.. has this CPU/computer been used previously by you? or is it something you;ve recently bought used and are now trying out?

 

[Kodey116]

I bought cooler new from microcenter a week ago today . i was always overing around 50-60c as i keep speed step disabled. but under load my chip gets way about thermal threshold.

[paddy-stone]

OH, BTW if you only just mounted the heatsink today or in the last few days even, you may not need new thermal paste as long as you don't get it dirty when removing or re-applying the heatsink... just to check that it is mounted correctly.

okay well im on the pc now so let me get my laptop out to chat and ill do a test run with unscrewing it and then ill switch one fan back to the 212 stock one if no change

You keep stepping disabled? why?

OK that could explain the temps then... why don't you re-enable speed stepping so that it doesn't run at full power all the time. When you said it runs 60c at idle earlier it sounded worse than it was as you didn't mention you had speed stepping dis-abled. That CPU when properly idling as in not doing much of anything and hitting maybe 800Mhz or so would only hit around 10 degrees C above ambient with that cooler I reckon.

pulled the cooler it looks wrong compared to my mx-4 i was using, ill remount it now . and iof the temps dont change ill renable speedstep if the fanswap doesnt help

OK, cool, hope it goes well for you... are you using the line method or pea just asking? I personally hate the pea method, line is more consistent with coverage IMO.

Anyway, about the speed stepping thing, I personally can't; see why anyone disables it, it's there to help preserve power and excess heat when it's not needed... yet your CPU can still go to your maximum clock when needed... I think you'll see BIG improvements in your idle clock temp and then when stress testing it shouldn't hit it so hard either I wouldn't think... use AIDA 64 for stress test.

well i either use spread  method or a x since ots better results for me i follow tech yes city and i personally can vouch for some of his crazy antics'

reseated cpu still at 60c th thermal paste looked like it was gone really. ill give it a shot with speed step real wuicl

ive got success thank you my freind! i went to bios and just loaded defults didnt touch anything but redid my overlcock to a healthy 3.6 ghz with a 1.25 fsb and a 1.3375 cpu core . speed step enabled (but not working lol) abd under stress test rn im at 56 c on my highest core ! i have a idle around 40c with my room being about 60-70 f
