First of all, let me mention that I have built a handful of computers from the ground up, but this time I decided to order from a CTO company.
That being said, I just got my system toward the end of last week and just got the OS and vid card installed within the last couple of days. You'll notice that I ordered the Ultra MD3 console unit which, among other things, monitors temps.
CD: Sony 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive [+2]
CAS: CoolerMaster 690 II Advanced Mid-Tower Gaming Case
CS_FAN: Default case fans
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-930 2.80 GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366
FREEBIE_CU: None
FAN: Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan
FLASHMEDIA: Ultra MD3 5.25" USB Multi Function Media Dashboard LCD Fan Controller (Black Color)
FLOPPY: None
HDD: Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
KEYBOARD: Xtreme Gear (Black Color) Multimedia/Internet USB Keyboard
MOUSE: XtremeGear Optical USB 3 Buttons Gaming Mouse
MULTIVIEW: Non-SLI/Non-CrossFireX Mode Supports Multiple Monitors
MOTHERBOARD: (3-Way SLI Support) GigaByte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Ultra Durable™3 Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 ATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 Dobly Audio, eSATA, GbLAN, USB3.0, 2 x SATA-III RAID, IEEE1394a, 4 Gen2 PCIe, 2 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI [+49]
MEMORY: 6GB (2GBx3) DDR3/1333MHz Triple Channel Memory
NETWORK: Onboard Gigabit LAN Network
OS: None - FORMAT HARD DRIVE ONLY
POWERSUPPLY: 800 Watts Power Supply
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770
Anyway, I'm getting temps that are high enough to make the console unit beep and have its temp numbers flash when I do anything that requires anything more intensive than browsing the web. For example, playing a game that's fairly undemanding of system resources called League of Legends will within a couple minutes cause the console to go nuts. Idling I'm getting temps about 44 degrees Celsius. Heaven forbid I actually run a stress test!
It seems anything above 122F (50 degrees Celsius) will cause this to happen. Both the CPU and system temps are reaching 123F-125F. Again, this isn't even a highly resource-demanding game.
I have checked all the cables and everything is seated correctly. The temperature sensors are located on the back side of the MoBo for the CPU (the CPU plate) and on the heatsink, like the instructions for the console advise.
So, I'm at a loss with what to do. I am not even overclocking, although I'd like to do some mild OC'ing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Stu
