I have read in some forum and watch a few vid in youtube showing H50/H70 does not perform that great because they say the liquid temp inside need to reach a certain temp before it can release heat with the radiator.Unlike cooper heatpipe cooler that release heat at any temp and cool down faster.My first time running linX I ran for 50mnt because this is my only pc so cannot run long.But I ever ran linX for 8Hour two times...huhu 16hours How boring that time but luckily no last minute error.

might be true, but in my experience stock h50 performs similar to megahalem.. furthermore, im using a modded h50, using distilled water with additional 240 rad..

however im settling down for 4.0ghz.. load temp is around 61C @ 31.6C ambient @ ~108GFlops.. passed 100 loops so far no prob
thanks for ur advice

UPDATE: been searching the net and found out that linpack with AVX @ 4.5ghz does really produce 80ish temp though.. so i think my proc & h50 are doing okay

30+ degrees over room temp is actually nice.. its same like high end air cooler ody..

That an answer only you can answer
Additional performance or lower temperature/voltage
I'd take additional performance

when come to this questions, its always depends on personal preference.

Performance ? Noise ? and Power Consumption....

Some prefer silent + lower power consumption

Some prefer performance to the max...

For me, I take the middle band by tweaking to the optimum balance between them.

I dont know whether my proc is normal or not, but the vcore configs are like:
1.344v for 4.5ghz
=additional 0.048v for 300mhz inc
1.296v for 4.2ghz
=additional 0.102 v for 200mhz inc
1.192v for 4.0ghz
=additional 0.194v for 700mhz inc
~0.98v for 3.3ghz

thats why i stopped at 4.0ghz.. 1.344 vcore seems a bit high for 24/7 use..
BTW, my proc can pass 100 loops of linX if i lower the vcore for another 1-2 step but strangely the GFlop drops from 108+ to 79+.. which value should i go for? can somebody enlighten me?

its normal behaviour for every proc. its not a linear relationship between vcore and frequency.

a shxt....... this new deluxe after flash bios the oc profile will lost.... i forgot my setting ad my old p5q deluxe after flash new bios oc profile still exist

Use the vcore which give highest gflops

hi guys i have a quite cpu cooler i think ;p Can i ask if 37C is normal for idle? or there is something wrong with my cooler pls advise. With prime95 i get about 60-66C.
i5 2500k OC till 4.6Ghz
tyvm

ur temp is ok , with prime85 60-66.c is ok also . mine core i7 2600k 4.8 Ghz hitting 70.c with cooler master V6GT .

guys below RM700 board any suggestion??other than asus....
asrock z68 extreme4 out of stock...i is sad....

Seem its related to CPU prefetch?

did you check with all the seller in lyn? some of them should have stock for z68 extreme 4

hi guys, short Q here..
1155 and 1156 mounting use same hole?

Yes 1156 cooler will fit on 1155.

got my z68 board+2500k costa rica today...hope that chip can hit 5ghz...if im lucky...hehe.

hi guys i just OC my cpu to 4.3ghz and my temp is around 67-69 with tuniq tx-4,

and previously i used the stock hyper 212 plus thermal paste at temp was 68-70c .

means temp improved by 2 c only using tuniq tx-4 .

is this normal ? or shud i re-apply the grease again ?

ya it should be normal. the thermal paste
will not have a dramatic effect like 10'c.

oh i thought it will have improvements like 5c . i expect to have improvements from this paste since b4 i was using the stock paste..
