Hmmm...my q9550 @ 3.4Ghz is perhaps a bit too hot at 74c after 15min small FFT.
vcore is @ 1.25v. Using a Xigmatek RS S1283 with AS5. Should i be looking at re-seating the cooler ? |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Feb 1 2009, 02:42 PM) Wow! That's hot! I'm using the retention kit, so my initial guess was that of proper ihs to hsf contact. the temps are uniform though (at idle the temps are 42c). Well, i might just take it out and re-do the fit when I have the time next weekend. Yeah, the AS5 is old, served me during my P4 Northwood days. Better than the stock paste I guess. I have no experience with the Q9000-series but maybe you didn't push the pushpins in properly? Or are you using the S&S? AS5 is kinda old.... better thermal paste available here are Tuniq TX-2 and AS MX-1/MX-2....  QUOTE(Dickong @ Feb 1 2009, 04:32 PM) The best way to have a better temp is to lapped your heatsink n proc if u know how to do it, just like mine when i was using true n Q6600 my temp reach 70+ when prime but after i lapped my proc n heatsink the temp was 56-58c when prime, the real answer is either your heatsink n maybe your proc ihs is concave or convex. Hmm, don't think I'll lap the proc/hsf anytime soon. I might though, one fine day. |

well I've reseated the Xigmatek Red Scorpion, along with a fresh re-paste of AS5 on the Xigmatek only. 3 thin lines on each of the heat pipes. Temps are slightly lower. Tjunction reaches 75c max on core 0. cores 2-3 are usually 2-3c lower. Tjmax is 100c for the cores. Tcase, or cputin is 64c max (71.4c for Q9550).
WHat is the optimal/best way to apply TIM on the Xigmatek ? Some sites say to apply/fill up TIM on the 2 sections in between the 3 heat pipes. Need more opinions on this. Thanks. |
