but i heard the TX2 is watery right? not as viscous as mx2......

btw...he already stated at the bottom of his post wat... i guess i gonna lap too if my coming new proc is hot

ops just saw... ya more watery.. but who care when it can perform....

@ham_revilo
straight away 1k grid to start with?

guys... i wanna know the gap between my cpu and core temp normal or not on idle? i'm using s1283 rs

yes, i start off with 1000 grid then continued with 1500 grid and i use quite a few 2000 grid sand paper to get the best finish but still cannot get mirror like finish... but anyways flatness is the importance of lapping other than that is just self satifaction imo...

hmmm...its weird IMO... try with other software like realtemp n see if it shows the same thing again....

try using everest to see the temp... anyways, imo its quite impossible ur CPU temp is 23c but core temp is around 40-50... my difference betweem core and cpu temp usually doesnt exceed 10c....

ya.. even i'm also feel hard to belive it. and the temp reading using everest is the same as the previous.

JohnDoe86,if ur cpu temp 21..the core should be range of 27-30c..
weird eh..

wat mobo are u using???? is ur mobo BIOS updated to the latest? ur Asus monitoring software updated to the latest too? if no pls do so... pretty sure ur asus reading is the wrong part.

i'm using mobo p5e. and yes i update the second latest bios. the latest 1 is still in beta.

wat about the asus temperature monitoring software??? try get latest too... if u have the 1 earlier tha E6750 then it might show the wrong 1 also

don worry bro... read this post from ace combat n u will know actually theres nothing wrong with the reading u got

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry16206128

even though ur cpu temp reading is not right, i still think that for idle ur core temp is quite high...

@vincentlaw

i already update the temp reading software... n nothing change.

@tkh_1001

hahah.. yes there is nothing wrong with my temp, but the temp reading make me worried
when i open my case the temp show 18 degree

@ham_revilo


usually around what temp when idle?

@johndoe
actually u can take a look at the chart... even before i lap and with stock TIM, the temp is only around 42c-44c (core temp)....

and 18c when u open case is really impressive... its either ur reading is really faulty or ur room is super cold... thats all i can think for now though... btw what thermal solution are u using??

just and advice, eventhou its all rite but do refer to coretemp/realtemp/everest/CPUID... at least 2 monitoring softwares when u do OC.. else later kebakaran inside casing also dunno..

@ham_revilo

i'm using tuniq TX-2.


@vincentlaw

yeah i'm refering to other cpu temp whenever i on my pc.

actually... maybe u can try to remount ur RS.... n cheack if the contact pressure is good enuf or the TIM spreading is covering all the HDT onot lo..

vincent got lots of tips on TIM application

just a lil to add on... screw in 4 of the screw equally.... that is how i do it...

mm.. just installed my cooler at my board asus p5kc
the temp not much different than previous ggbyte ds3
so sad i lost my screw bracket..
