Hi, i recently bought an AMD Phenom II 1090T and a Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus cooler for it, but either this combination is not a good one or I am overparanoid, however the cpu seems to run a little too hot from what i can tell.
With the cooler set to let the fan run at full speed all the time this is what temps i get:
Idle: 35-40 Celsius
Load: 51+ (i am saying 51+ since when testing the temps they never stabilized and kept increasing at the same step ~ 1 degree every other 3 minutes and it reached 50 degrees quite fast about 5 minutes).
Tested with Everest ultimate (v 5.30), ambient temperature about 18 degrees (somewhere between 18 and 20).
These temps are the latest batch since i have tested it several times after each test pulling the system apart and giving it a new coat of thermal paste (removed the old paste and attempted a different application method) and made sure the heatsink is positioned ok, I have tried both the thermal grease that comes with the cooler and some generic brand thermal paste in both case similar results were obtained. I have the cpu runing at it's default 3.2 (no OC), and a friend with the stock AMD cooler seems to get about the same temps as I do with the coolermaster.
One thing which strikes me as being odd is that the cooler's base does not seem to cover the cpu100% namely no matter what orientation i choose (n-s, e-w) there always seems to remain a short bit of the CPU's metallic case exposed one one side while on the others the base is right on the edge of the CPU (about 3 mm of the cpu) and no matter how much i tighten the bracket it still has some wobble to it.
Are these temps normal? Should i change the cooler?
In case i do change the cooler i have a choice between the following coolers:
Deepcool Icewind FS ( http://tinyurl.com/3ghkn4f )
Thermaltake Big Typhoon (http://tinyurl.com/4xe3hq2 )
Scythe Katana 3 (http://tinyurl.com/3ezwyzc)
Artic Cooling Freezer 13 (http://tinyurl.com/3strtlp)
I am only listing these coolers since these are the coolers that the shop i bought mine has in stock and i could trade in mine for. Are any of them any good or is it just money thrown out the window and i should go back to the stock cooler?
The rest of my PC is as follows:
MB: Asrock 880g-Extreme3
RAM: 8Gb Corsair 1600mhz
PSU: Sirtec 600W/Nox Urano2 630W/ Chiftec 500w (tested with all 3 PSU just to make sure that it wasn't related to the PSU being faulty)
