Hey guys,
Right now I am using my Northwood 2.2 at 2.5 ghz. I have volt modded the board -- but until I get my watercooling setup -- I am not running higher than 1.6 Vcore (that is what I am running now).
OK, here is my problem. I am not experienced with Intel (I have been an AMD user for last year or so) -- so I am not sure what temps should be.
Right now I am getting 45c under load (Prime 95) on System 1 sensor and 55c under load on CPU sensor. These temps come from Hardware Doctor (progrom packages with my Abit TH7II). Ambient is about 26c.
These seem really high. For cooling I am using a Coolermaster HSF for now -- my case has 3 intake fans and 2 exhaust (not including PSU) -- one exhaust is a 85 CFM 120mm blowhole -- in otherwords venilation is not a problem.
I have a TH7II-RAID. I can't say I did a really good job of putting on the ASII on the HSF since I figure this setup would be only temporary (just waiting on my new waterblock holdown). However, I did carefully remove the stock HS on the Intel 850 NB chip and took off all the crappy thermal compound they use and then reattached the HS using ASII and the stock holddown.
I am fairly worried about the CPU temp (but I am putting on a watercooling setup soon and am using 1.6 Vcore) -- but very worried about the System 1 temp. Is that temp taken from the i850 NB?? -- if so it seem very high to me. Maybe my plan of putting on the ASII under that sink has backfired.
Let me know your thoughts.
