a small heat problem

[trents]

Whatever.

 

[Jermy]

Whatever.

i just realized that the mobo says it can take up to 125W processors...
so does that mean that the only actual problem is the case/hsf

 

[trents]

Not according to this.

Do you have another source that says otherwise?

That is not the same motherboard in your Sig. The one in linked in your last post is the M5A78L Plus. The one in your Sig is not the Plus. Which one do you really have?

 

[Jermy]

I bought it from there...
I thot the plus waw part of the next Phrase in describing the mobo on the website

 

[Jermy]

Added plus to the sig

Okay, then its a 125 TDP board. That's why it works with that CPU. Now you just need a better cooler. Go for the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ evo. Get some extra case fans, too.

On second thought, your case is only 7.5" wide so the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ evo won't fit. It's too tall. You'll have to go with an air cooler that has a 92mm fan then unless you go with a top down style cooler instead of a tower style. Or, you could go water.

Here, this should fit and give you the cooling power you would need to take that CPU to an overclock that the motherboard will also handle.

i got it
it fits perfectly
now idle minimum is at 25C

But what's the core temp under full load? Idle sounds good but doesn't tell much unless it's already unusually high.

no time
ill tell u tomorrow

 

[Jermy]

k max 53C

 

[trents]

That's certainly acceptable. Is that at stock voltages and frequencies or overclocked?
