nice..

nice one there

i am also using same CPU...getting my hands on Xigmatek HDT-SD964 later..
now clock to 2.7Ghz also easily reach 70C, scary....
will try my system limit after i get my hands on the cooler( end of this month)

Added on June 16, 2008, 9:42 pmanyone here knows how Xigmatek HDT-S963 perform??
i think i might get that one...i saw some of the review says it's good, but i dunno how is the actual performance...anyone knows about this??

wat i learned

if temp weirdly hot

means hsf not in good contact not enuf pressure

I think you didn't install your heatsink properly or improper application of thermal paste. My Q6600 G0 stepping runs at 38C idle, 48C playing game on stock heatsink.

Environment, casing and the hardware inside your computer also affects the heat.

the thermal paste is the stock one..last time when i buy, i asked the dudes at AllIT to assemble for me, so i dunno how they apply...as for the hsf, i am pretty sure it's properly attached...
is there a way to check if the hsf is properly attached??? cos it's tightly sitted on top of my CPU

theres no way to check it unless u uninstall d heatsink.
then u can see it.......

by "properly attached", what do you actually mean? that it is fitted correctly to the motherboard?

in my opinion, as long as the four push-pins (Intel) or the single bracket (AMD) is correctly fitted and is tight, you should have a properly installed HSF.

guys...i'm looking for a case fan...80mm...to replace the current one on my old 2600 Sempron PC...that thing is noisy lol...can anyone recommend a quiet and efficient one ? thanks in advance ;-)

Proc = e8200 400 x 8 ( 3200mhz)
ram = 1gb x 1 aenoeon ddr2 800 ( running at 400 x 2 = 800mhz)
1 : 1

idle = 43 °C
full load (dual prime95) = 60 - 63 °C
is this normal?

Hi guys,

I just stress test my GPU / CPU of my notebook using those high end game and noticed that its go till 85'C. LOL.. I heard that reapply those thermal paste of my notebook heatsink will help. So due to my noob in notebook, can you guys recommend any shop in KL that I can send my notebook to them and reapply the thermal paste.

Besides that, do the enermax 25cm notebook cooler really works? Its sure looks nice. Any comment?

Oh ya.. I am using Acer 4720G.

Thanks ya. Newbie in notebook.

haha... reapply thermal paste doesnt really help cuz the heatsink of the notebook is small and doesn't dissipate heat fast enuff.. get a notebook cooler it will lower the temperature..

Processor : E7200 @ 4.3Ghz
Cooler : TT Big Water SE
Coolant : Distilled water

Temperature with 2x Stress2004 as report by CoreTemp is 91C.

Processor : E8200 @ 4.2Ghz
Cooler : TT Sonic Tower
Fan : Delta 120mm fan

Temperature with 2x Stress2004 as report by CoreTemp is 73C.

Both using Gigabyte P35-DS3 motherboard. Why Big water temp is sooo high compare to sonic tower ? Should i spend rm60 go get the real TT UV coolant from shop ?

No?

coz the coolant will slow flow rates even lower ( water becomes more thicker), and kill your tubes.

and ethyl glycol is bad bad for health

Hi bro.,just want to ask here.,i oc my E8400 to 3.60GHZ.,the temp idle is 34c=core1:44c core2:50-55c the load temp is 45c=core1:55c core2:60-65c is that ok..tq..

seems a little high to me... maybe lower it to 3.4GHz shud be okay...

if u really want reapply thermal paste for notebook, ask for bro Shawty help la, he know how to reapply one. Then get yourself a notebook cooler to cool it...not sure about the enermax 25cm notebook cooler...

What's the different between ambient temp and system temp? Speedfan has these 2 temp but I don't know which one is the true temp inside the casing.

guys. i've just installed my xigmatek s1283 + tuniq tx2 paste but my idle temp around 50c..
but 100% usage with prime95 give me about 63c peak...normal?

e8400 running at 400x9 = 3.6ghz
