H80i + 2500K Temperature

[Yun]

Hi!

 

I'm pretty new to OC-ing and just got a Corsair H80i and a i5-2500K.

The motherboard I'm using is an Asus P8P67 Pro.

 

I've set most of the settings to auto for now, and have set the OC clock to 4.3ghz.

 

I'd like to ask if the temperatures I'm getting are normal. I'm currently seeing ~80c degrees after about 5 minutes of 100% load (encoding a video).

My ambient temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius. The Vcore is at about 1.308V.

 

Is the temperature I'm getting normal? Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong?

 

I've read that the tCase for the 2500K is 72 degrees C...I'm concerned that this may damage the CPU since I'm at approximately 8 degrees more than that.

 

Thank you!

Maybe turn down your OC a bit so it's at least in the 72 degree C region? You may be pushing it just a tad too far.

I've pushed my 2500k on air at around 87'c (@5.0GHz), and that was with 1.455V, quite toasty but none the less it was fine, personally I'd try and dial back the voltage a bit and find an even ground, h80i is alright I guess but you shouldn't really worry until you start hitting 85+, just dial it back until the max is around 65'c -> 75'c.

I'm doing 5GHz on 1.4v with air, testing it was around 80c, never gets that hot when playing games though so it's fine.

I left a video encoding for almost 30 minutes now at constant 100% load and its 87 degrees...

 

When you guys mention that the max is around 65-75 degrees, how long are we talking about?

Depends on what you mean by "Long" Higher temps degrade components quicker as we all know, it's common knowledge, they won't suddenly die, it'll take a couple of years before that happens at full load and 90'c ish, I could be entirely wrong but hey, a lot of people do tend to tell you to keep the temps below the Tcase for 24/7 use, and even then when you max it out like you did, but all in all you should just dial it back to 4.2, 4.1 and decrease the volts.

Reseat your cooler man, those temps suck for a 2500k @ 4.3GHz end of story.

 

I'm on air cooling with an akasa Venom CPU cooler (cheapo brando) and my temps at 4.2-4.3 GHz don't go past 65 degrees.

Same ambient temps? I live in a rather hot and humid country.

 

Just I took it out once and screwed it tight again, maybe I'll try my luck with reseating it once more.

Tightening a heat sink too tight can also cause problems, just an FYI from first hand experience, and dude, just check my avatar, I live in South Africa, we get ambient temps from 20-45 Celsius.

I'm not sure too, i was searching before I started this thread a day ago and people did say that the H80i had to be screwed tight to ensure that it contacts with the processor...hence I took the whole thing out for a reseat >.<

 

Oops, didn't notice your profile

Imo that's too much voltage for 4.3ghz oc. I got mine to 4.5ghz with just 1.27v and temp maxed out at around 70-72 using NH-D14 and P8Z68-V motherboard. Try reseating the cooler and make sure to use the right amount of thermal paste.

 

I dont really recommend using the Asus Auto oc or whatever it is called. It pumps out too much voltage. Try doing offset voltage overclocking. There are few good articles on how to do that online.

Alright. I'll probably read up on offset voltage...I just got started and thought auto would be a good way to go about.

 

We live pretty near each other (just down south), so I'm probably doing something wrong if you can get those temperatures!

you could have been lucky on your chip, I need 1.3v to get to 4.3 GHz + That said, my OC is done in a way few people do since I prefer my voltage to go down on max load and have a higher idle voltage since the voltage is dynamic anyway and throttles down when my cpu idles at 1.6GHz

Imo that is probably the best way to oc for anything below 4.5ghz while having a balance temp,voltage and with solid oc stability. Also good for your cpu longetivity and better system efficiency.

I'm staying in KL so our weather is more or less the same. Now it is raining quite heavily here almost every day.

 

Maybe you can start reading it here first. Pretty easy to understand really

overclocking is not auto. you are actually using voltages to support 4.5/4.6.

 

please watch this video

 

 

and find out what AUTO is. you'll find that is 100% of your temperature problems.
