Is this good, bad, OK, or what? :)

Ok guy!!! Finally I put this together but still missing PS hope it is one the way soon(Antec True 380) => good enough? and I'm getting idle temp 40C and 48C with Prime95 level 10 after 4 hours ( just check the heat) I used in-place test and the sys temp is 23C. Umm, room temp well i guese about 20. I have nothing to know lol.
Here is the spec:
Abit NF7 V.2
XPM-2600+
Corsiar 3200 ( CAS2.5)
Current setting is 225MHz x 11. (2.5.3.3.11)
SP-97 + Thermaltake (92mm)-blue led but only running max @ 3600 RPM with Arctist Silver 5.
The votage on CPU is 1.75 in setting but only reading at 1.66 in AbitEQ or MBM5.
Dam PS, 5 and 3.3 rail are good but 12+volt drops all the way to 11.3

Well, back to main question. Is that temp OK? Did I do a bad job on heatsink? Should I reseat it? Or the Arctist Silver 5 is not burned yet?

I think that's after a good overclock. You didn't do anything wrong, and the Arctic Silver will "burn in". Your setup is alot like the one I just bought. I too have the CPU voltage reading different in the BIOS and in software.

Have fun with your new rig

O and I run about 33*C idle and about 38*C load for stock with a similar CPU fan you have and same heatsink.

Those temps dont sound terrible. With the volts your running at you are about high average. Give the AS5 some time to settle in and temps will drop a peg or two at least.

How can you get those temp? Do you run at the same speed as mine? What is yer system temp?
Man.. I want those temp.

he is running it at stock speeds. That is why it is cooler.

NF7's tend to undervolt the processor, and your 12V rail being at 11.3 will also cause some undervolting.

The Voltage the softwear tells you is what your processor is actually getting. Mine is set to 1.825 in the BIOS but is actually 1.76.

Putting heatsinks on the mosfets will help to get your voltage closer to what the bios has, and will make them more stable. The antec PS will help a lot too.

So trust the software not the BIOS?
And I will post temps for overclock later... want to get this northbridge HS on first.

 

[matttheniceguy]

yea, the softwear (cpuZ, sandra, etc) will tell you the actual value. The one in the bios is more like what the computer is going to try to do. The same thing happens with your FSB. When I set mine to be something like 204 in the bios, it will actually be 205.6 or something.

Ok guyz.. Thanks for all the repond. Well, I'm gonna c wat happen with the Antec when it arrives and c wat i can do with it. I'll wait couple weeks to c of AS5 actually break-in. It it is . My comp will be faster .


Edit: man the fan that i have rite now kinnd loud. . Is anyone here has this fan and also the Delta one. So you can tell me which one is quiter and prefromce better. I got this fan becuase it was convience since i got the HS from scv. Well I cant get the delta anymore. Hope there will be a good fan with low noise came out soon or I'll try the delta.
