Sorry to start a new thread on the TH7-II temp problem, but I couldn't decide on which of the 45 prior threads from my search to ressurrect...none of which I thought came to any conclusions.
HELP!!!!
1. What is that little plastic Intel label sticker on the top of my CPU? Why did it leave a VOID VOID VOID when I took it off (with my fingernail)? Did I do something wrong? Does Intel really want me to istall the HSF over a plastic sticker? Or does that plastic have some function?
2. Why are the CPU temps so darn high? At stock settings and an Abient temp @20°C, my P4 2.4a idles at 42°C and loads at 57-59°. As soon as I drop CPU usage the CPU temp visibly drops to idle temps in @15-30 seconds.
3. Why is my HS not hot to the touch?
4. Should I DISABLE thermal shutdown in bios? I've got it set to 75° now.
5. Could it be that thermal sensor plugged into JP1 that is causing grief?
6. What conclusions has anyone come to as to why the TH7-II reports temps so high?
7. If my HS isn't hot, will changing to a better HS like the Swiftech MCX478 make a difference?
BTW- I've got the Evercase ECS500 Full-tower server case with 2x80cm intakes for the HDs, 1x120cm intake, 1x90cm YS-Tech exhaust, Enermax EG465P-VE dual fan PS
This setup ran my OCed Dual Athlons with SK6's and 80cm fans at 39-45° Idle/Load.
