Hey all just got my Tuniq 120 and have a few questions on the temps. Currently idle at 40*C but loads at about 50-52*C. Specs, voltage, and OC settings in my sig. Do these look alright?
Just for the record it has been a bit warm lately and I'm seeing higher temps on my other PCs but should I be able to expect more out of a Tuniq? If my load of 50-52 is okay then can I chalk my idles up to the hot summer I'm having? Mind you it's not dreadfully hot in my room but a bit warmer than usual. Maybe 75-78*F
Is there anything you can think of that could affect temps? I've remounted about 3 or 4 times with varying methods of TIM installation with the same results. Currently using the center dot method and last I checked core coverage spread is perfect.
Oh yeah, both Speedfan and Everest report the same.
Also, I have seen the same cooler running on the same CPU but idling much cooler and at about 900RPM vs the 1700 I'm using. This was in a cooler, air-conditioned basement at about 70*F. These are the same parts just moved into my PC. One using the HAF, and mine being the HAF AMD without the side fan.
Should I consider lapping the cooler? Maybe there isn't enough pressure on the CPU? Anyone with experience with the Tuniq?
