advice on these temps please :(

[Dannyboy84]

Hello there today i purchased some upgrades for my pc as my other one had died here is what i bought.

mobo=gigabyte z77x-d3h
proc=i5-3570k
ram=corsair vengance 8gig
cooler=coolermaster hyper 612s

my initial plan was to overclock to around 4.4 hopefully!

before i did this i checked everything was working fine at stock speeds so installed realtemps to check it out and prime 95 everything was a fresh install since i got an ssd also.

temps during desktop/web browsing are around 30-35c which i believe to be fine but when i did the stress test on prime-95 temps instantly jumped to 80c+ i stoped it quick sharp as this seemed incredibly high!

could anyone advise me on what could be the reason? could be the thermal paste (cooler master paste supplied with the cooler) an error i have made? i have 2 case fans one at the front sucking air in and 1 at the rear sucking air out.

any info would be great
thanks
Danny!

IB runs pretty hot. What voltage are you running at with the 4.4ghz OC? Try to find the lowest possible voltage to keep temps in check. Once you hit over 1.3v, temps will climb extremely quickly.

Remember TJmax is 105C before you freak out. It was 100C on SB and 95C if I recall right on previous.

The sensors are in the cores, so rapid increase/decrease is normal.

Welcome to forum and the world of crazy Ivy Bridge temps

It could be a bad paste job I guess. Not sure what coolrmaster supplies.

Double check that your motherboard isn't overclocking by default. What is the vcore at stock speed? Not sure but think you need gigabytes software to see as cpu-z shows wrong voltage.

I ran another run of IBT after 3 hours of Bf3 and my core 3 topped out at 79c. So I would say thats typical. I am on a Havik 140.

His temps are from stock speeds it look like to me. If so seem on the high side.

I guess without knowing ambient temp of room its hard to judge if temps are really bad tho.

This is perfectly normal for IVY... Not saying it's good, it's just prevalent. :\

You know how the thermal paste between the IHS and the Heatsink needs to break in..

Well in IVY's case the thermal paste between the IHS and the CORE, also needs to break in.

So expect like a 3C improvement over time.


OR you can delid, replace stock thermalpaste with "the good stuff".


ALSO, try increasing your Clamping pressure, because IVY needs it.

I'm still waiting for somebody to test the original paste to see how bad it is or if it really is. Could just be too much.

The original poster is MIA it looks like.

Return your Ivy, get a Sandy, problem solved

 

[borisvodofsky]

Yea, I've been recommending this course of action to all my buddies.

However, if the store says, you can go F--- yourself, then your best option is to delid. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

People claim 3C difference when they swap out the paste, so it can't be THAT bad.

But it's certainly Not as good as solder.

80C is fine. Worry when it hits 95C

Yup, I hit 85 on IBT,, worry free. :thumbsup:

Hello again and thanx for all the replys and as i see it is typical for ivy to high temps from what ur saying

kenmitch ur right these are temps at stock speeds.

im not sure on the temp in the room here its not over hot but no exact temp.

il try add more tighten the cooler abit and check if that helps if all else fails iv got some artic silver5 thermal paste arriving tomorrow so il just reseat the cooler and do it the way the artic site says to do it and check if it works

thanks again for replys

oh and voltage for stock speeds was 1.16v if i read it correctly
fan on cooler is running at max 1300rpm on the plus side the fan is pretty quiet

 

[Kenmitch]

It's possible case airflow could be contributing to your problem. You could try testing with the side panel off to see if it helps with your temp.

What was the fan rpm when you tested with prime? Found the following specs listed for the stock fan.

Fan Speed 600 - 2000 RPM (PWM) ± 10%
Fan Airflow 24.9 - 82.9 CFM ± 10%

Might want to take a look and see. If you have it spinning low spead to combat noise then it's not pumping much air thru it. Would explain why your temps seem on the high side for a aftermarket cooler at stock speeds.

You did install the cooler in the correct orientation. As in fan blowing towards rear of case? Did you get xtra set of fan mounts? Maybe push/pull with quiet fans with good airflow would help your temps.

Looked up at your edited post

Looking at the specs of the stock fan I'd estimate around 45cfm at 1300rpm. Is the fan in push or pull?

 

[Dannyboy84]

i dont have it set to silent mode its running on normal which is around 1250-1300rpm i think according to the manual 1300 is the max rpm. the fan is currently set to push pushing air towards the back of the case where i have a case fan sucking the air out.

 

[Kenmitch]

Isn't this the cooler your using? With the included fan? If you look at the specs for the fan it states up to 2000 rpm

Doesn't sound normal to me even for Ivy. Stock speeds, particularly on an i5 which runs cooler than i7 shouldn't get that hot IMO unless maybe you're running the stock hsf.

 

[Don Karnage]

What case are you running that you only have 2 case fans?

Honestly don't think the i5 and i7 are any different temp wise. I think the i5's are higher leak i7 chips.

i7's will run hotter due to hyper-threading. On air it's more noticeable I'd think. At least for the 2 months or so I ran a 2700k it seemed like hyper-threading didn't have much effect for me. My rig is water cooled so I'm just basing it on my temps.

As far as i5's being leaky i7's that would be a unkown. Kinda like stating that the 2550k is a defective 2500k. I'd think Intel is more worried about fullfilling orders than extensively testing each and every core for maximum profit.

Cm 612 is prolly crap. Change it. 4.4 needs high end air with ivy or even h80 or so. Use fans at full speed still

6 heatpipes and it isn't too bad

Except they are different and i5s run cooler. About as cool as an i7 when HT is disabled
