At 100 Tjmax, my idle temps are 44C and load temps 55C with RealTemp 2.70.... this can't be right. Yet supposedly Intel confirmed that this is the Tjmax? On a C0 stepping?
With a Xigmatek-S1283 on the CPU, at stock clocks and 1.25v, and with push/pull fan configuration. TIM used is AS5 and I applied it as follows; in between the heatpipes where the gaps are, and one thin line on the middle of each heatpipe, about 60-70% the length of the chip. Possibly slightly too much to make sure that it's all covered, but not excessive. The "Crossbow" retaining bracket from Xigmatek is also used, all 4 screws are tightened.
Yet my temps are higher than my older 90nm CPU fully overclocked to its stable slocks... and I'm using the same cooler, except I put too little TIM on the 90nm which I found out after I took the cooler off to install this new CPU on the new mobo. It wasn't covered by TIM very well. Also, it wasn't using the push/pull fan configuration either, because of the way the method for installing AMD chip works (the heatsink is set horizontal instead of vertical). It was an Opteron180 OC'd to 2.8 at 1.4v, with temps being Idle ~35C, load ~53C.
So my temps on a 45nm with a better cooling method and stock speed, are higher than my temps on a 90nm with worse cooling and OC'd to max stable levels? What am I doing wrong? Or is Intel lying?
