Anyone? whats normal idle temp on core 2?

You gotta check whether you re-seat your HSf correctly or not, LGA775 uses the stupid push pins sometimes can miss out one leg (not fully in).

Either that or you over-apply the AS5, use 1/2 grain rice size (lebih kurang)

well i aggree on the stupid push pins..

use 1/2 grain rice size - meaning 1 line of 1/2 grain rice size .. or just 1/2 grain rice size (sikit giler) of AS5 paste?

I reseat the hsf.. applying 1/2 grain AS5 ..

Current coretemp:

44/42 Idle

What HS you use? stock Intel HS? If using stock HS, 44/42C should be normal gua...I am not too sure...they can get 30C to 40C mostly I think is use after market HS...

im using stock HSF

anyone experience tis, my PD 840 temp when load 69C n idle 55C, i'm using Tt beetle at full speed n no casing.... my mobo shut down temp 70C.....

Ah, another Pentium D 8XX bro here.. the temps are very high for this series of processor. You could check if the thermal paste is applied correctly (remove previous thermal paste with Arctic Cleaner).

Mine idles at around 50 also, and load go all the way to 80C and shutdown (mobo software protection)

Probably should change your HSF to tower type like Scythe Ninja or similar...

Wow your temps are really high..suggest you reapply thermal paste to your proc...coz pentium d's especially the 8xx series will start to thermal throttle around 60C...which means less performance from the proc....

ya, that true...I don't know other mobo can or not, but mine can disable the throttle thingy...

@deto-master
my Pentium D 820 higher load also only 67C nia...and idle at 44C-47C depend on weather... btw, I am using Noctua NH-U12F...

Yes but the TDP for 830 and above is 130W, 820 is 95W, thats the problem.

Anyways a Noctua will be sweet on the 840, best to take that as a value-performance hsf...

ic...I never know that...or can say I never want to know that...haha...eldom goto check those spec..

Bought a CM Hyper TX

Now idle at 40/37

Load no more then 55/52

Anyways have anyone tried applying AS5 on the hyper tx?.. because the Hyper tx comes with its own thermal pad.

IIRC, thermal pad not that good. it is better to use TIM.

Correction: its not thermal pad rather thermal compound. Is it better to scrap that off and apply AS5?

If so.. whats the best way to take the compound off without really damaging the base??

use alcohol base solution on it and wipe it off with cotton bud.

introduce: arcticlean
2step easy cleaning solution.nice n easy.

u dont really need this.
using a normal tissue paper and slight amount of alcohol (u know, those things they use to clean ur skin before they inject u),. and u are good to go

well i used just about the same - as long it's alcohol (Tape recorder cleaner or perfume ) will do...i must say it worked...

just scrape it using credit card or prepaid card, then use tissue with alcohol or arctic cleaner or any others to clean it will do...

dont use perfume. other chemicals might cause a very nasty chemical reaction, and god knows what will happen
