eddyg519 · Jan 16, 2009

hey guys i flashed the bios with some help and now im just prime95 stress testing. I have all four cores running stock and this thing is smoking!! not literally but is 92C safe? ive never seen anything that high... like i said...totally stock settings and stock hsf... should i remound or?

best regards,
eddy

Something is wrong. Should not even be close to those temps.

eddyg519 · Jan 16, 2009

stable for 40 minutes so far.... im going to take it apart tonight even at idle its 75C

Steven-1979 · Jan 16, 2009

I would stop stress testing it asap. There must be some problem with the way the heatsink or thermal paste was put on.

Evilsizer · Jan 16, 2009

yea there should be no way even on stock cooling. That a 45nm quad would/should be at 75c idle.

eddyg519 · Jan 17, 2009

Ok I'm going to take the heat sink off and remount it hopefully that helps if that doesn't work should I worry about the chip or the motherboard? Is it possible I got a bad CPU?

Evilsizer · Jan 17, 2009

no it isnt possible to get a bad cpu, unless you bought it second hand. that person oced it and applied way beyond what we would use for voltage on air/water. yes i would worry about the cpu at 75c idle...

No it's new from ncix I didn't get around to remountinf it I was shopping all day ($2500 bed :-/

) I'll try a bit more paste and I'll probally order an aftermarket hsf if that doesn't work

Man, I would sleep on the floor before I spent $2500 on a bed, I could buy alot of OCing gear for that price

getting an aftermarket HS would be a good idea, but isn't going to help that much. Be sure to use the proper amount of paste as too much can be as bad as too little.

eddyg519 · Jan 18, 2009

I'd like to get a kit for when I add a second 9800gtx in there but I'll try the paste and let everyone know

And if I didn't shop with my gf I'd have 4 new rigs and a 400$ bed LOL

RSDXzec · Jan 18, 2009

wow is you heatsink on properly? what thermal paste r ya using?
On my rig i get 45C idle and 60C load i thought that was high, Seriously check your voltages in the bios and make sure theyre not too high

jmdixon85 · Jan 18, 2009

Your heatsink can't be seated properly. Even if you used no paste it shouldn't be that hot. Get yourself some good paste and a decent after market cooler. I also have a P5N-D and for a budget board it really does O/C great.

hey guys!

So my Q8200 is STILL alive around 90C~ but I heard of this Headsink: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=19079&vpn=CNPS9500 AT&manufacture=ZALMAN TECH

that is a bolt in CPU heatstink (has brackets that you bolt the hsf into).

Has anyone used this on a 775? I think im going to give it a try and see if I can get my temps down to a normal amount and fullfil my dream of actually OC'ing this chip LOL
