Hey guys.
My Specs
Core i7 920 @ 3.6GHz (200x18 1.375V). Heatsink Cooler Master V8.
Intel DX58SO
XFX Radeon HD 4890
Thermaltake V9 w/ 2x120mm Front Intake 1x120mm exhaust.
My Temp problem:
According to CPUID HardWare Monitor my Cores range from 58-64*C at Idle & hit 75*C when I game. Prime95 or PassMark BurnInTest can take it above 80*C after 30-40mins under full load.
Wattage:
This isn't really a problem as much as a query. At stock settings the CPU consumed 130W, under the over clock it rarely goes over 100W?!
Stability:
The overclock works great with every software I use on a daily basis and untill today I never had an issue with it. Then I figured why not run a simple stability test like Prime95 and/or BurnInTest. The later completed 2 hours of 99% load succesfully. Prime95 hanged the system in under 20mins. Everytime. Should i worry about this if Prime95 is the only software to have this effect on my comp?
I'm not really worried about Wattage and Prime95, but the CPU temp seems a tad excessive!!! Any ideas???
Thanks
