Hello there, the following system was just assembled:
Coolermaster HAF 932
Core i7 950
EVGA X58 SLI LE
3 x 2 GB G.Skill DDR3 - 1600 MHZ
GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
Corsair 750TX
3 x 1 TB HD's
I'm using the Xigmatek S1283 with a mounting kit I purchased to convert it to 1366 and have applied Arctic Silver 5 between the heatsink and CPU. The processor is running at stock, no overclocking done on it.
Temps at idle:
43
42
42
41
Temps at load after running Prime95 for several minutes:
86
86
84
80
I've already reapplied the thermal paste and reseated the heatsink once, and the same temperatures are occuring. Northbridge temps in BIOS are 56 C and case temps are 29 C.
Would anyone be able to chime in with advice? Is the CPU cooler not as good as others like the Noctua? Should I replace the large fans in the case with more, smaller ones to drop temps in case? Should I look into cooling the northbridge?
Thanks in advance.
