Yup. That's what I mean. You were thinking that your E4 had that problem but it was normal when you switch rig. Ever consider switching the E6 to the E4 rig and vice versa?

Wow! Isn't 63'c for one core high? BTW, noticed that your TCaseMax is 67'c. What is the recommended safe max core temp?

erm... I was thinking to do that before but it really kinda trouble to make it, somemore have to waste the AS5 sweat.gif

btw, we always wish to get the highest TCaseMax value in order to overclock to the max. the higher the value, the longer range of the proc reach that value before it prime fail. eg, if the TCaseMax is 65'c, mean that your proc mostly will prime failed when around that value.

the TCaseMax of my X2 E4 is only 59'c, that's why it only can hit up to 2.5GHz since priming it the temp. is around 58-60'c.

Sorry. What I meant was how close can we get to TCaseMax without increasing the risk of damage to our CPU? What would be a recommended safe range? e.g. if my TCaseMax is 65'c, should I OC until 60'C or can I go higher?

I dont think that TCaseMax is the measurement of what you meant by. as long as you did not pump it with high vcore and provide it with good cooling, then your proc should be stafety.

once we overclock that mean we forced the proc to run at higher frequency and thus it might be bring negative effect to it. laugh.gif

Welcome back irangan!  rclxms.gif

Since you're the noctua expert, can I just ask whether the Noctua NH-U12F would be more efficient if I stuck a heat-sink at the flat base?

I mean, there's such a nice empty space at the base!!!  icon_idea.gif

bro, your x2 can did 2.7GHz @ stock voltage? icon_idea.gif

For those with the noctua (NH-U12F), I've noticed something interesting.

I realized that the steel clips for fan mounting can be mounted higher or lower. As such, you don't have to put your fan at the centre of the heatsink.

I mean, look at your HSF. Because the heatsink is squared while your fan is rounded, your lower outer fins are not in direct air flow.

And another thing, notice that the top most fins are usually at room temperature!! (meaning that they do not need the fan up high)

So what I did was lower the fan as close to the bottom as possible so that more fins are exposed to direct air flow!!!  rclxms.gif (the steel clips allow you to do that)

Dunno whether this will affect the cooling power of the HSF but I believe it would. Just that I can't get a constant ambient temperature to test this.......

thanks for tips, will try it later and see how is the performance. smile.gif
