I just built my new i7 PC and I'm having heat issues.
These are my specs:
Intel Core i7 930(stock due to heat).
EVGA Micro SLI Mobo.
6GB of OCZ and 6GB of G.Skillz both 1600Mhz RAM.
2 MSI GeForce GTX 260 Twin Frozr.
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB.
Corsair H50 CPU Cooling.
Antec 650Watt PSU (for now)
Case is a Thermaltake Armor+ MX.
I've got about 5 fans running to keep it as cool as possible.
1 is a 8" fan mounted to the side of the case, 2 5" are in Push/Pull for the Radiator of the H50(air flow going out of case), one 5" is blowing from the front threw the Harddrive bay and the last 5" one is sitting on top of my main GPU(I've tried airflow up, and down both yielding same results).
Now, using stock cooling I was getting 50*c surfing the web and doing light things. Gaming it would hit 70*c.
Using the H50 I got the same results.
I use Real Temps with the alarm turned on and when I'm gaming it goes off all the time, I hit temps of 90*c. My NorthBridge gets so hot I can't even touch it or I risk getting my skin melted.
The case I use has ALLOT of venting, the whole top is grilled to let the heat escape as fast as possible.
My system doesn't crash but I can't run Prime95 24/7 on stock settings since the temps hit 81*c+.
I just don't understand what is going on with the temps.
Any advise would be quite helpful. I do plan on turning my H50 into a better water cooling system with a reservoir but till then I'm stuck with what I got.
I see people who get 55-62*c overclocked to 4Ghz running Prime95 24/7.
Thanks allot for the help.
