What cooler are you using? We need alot more info, how is case airflow? How good is it mounted? How much paste did you use? Is the heatsink making full contact?I have a e2140 over clocked to 2.8 ghz 1.65vcore (in bios), running occt I get temps up to 49c is that bad for 24/7 use or should I get a new cooler. Also what are some cheap good hsf. Thanks
What mounting method does that cooler use? Through the board mounting? If so, check to make sure that all four pins are completely through the board.I typed the rong vcore its at 1.365, Im yousing a cooler master vortex tx with a extreamly powerful after market fan. My case air flo is ok, It is mounted tight with a smoll dot of thermal paste (arctic silver 5).
Bowing of the motherboard is fine. As long as it isn't REALLY bad.It has skrews, the temps are 28c at idle, 40c ish normal youse, and 49c on occt. Do you know of any good coolers that are cheap? My cooler is the same size as the stock one exept it is all copper and the super fan. Do you know how tight the skrews should be cause i didnt tighten them alot because the mother board was bowing.
If you can find Bing around here, he has a installation guide for the stock heatsink, he shows how much it bows, let me see if I can grab it for you.Thanks, how much is really bad.
