I'm running a new Q8200 in a new system, stock speed.
CPU Fan:
Xigmatek HDT-S1283
http://www.xigmatek.com/product/air-hdts1283.php
Case:
Xclio Windtunnel
http://www.xclio.com/products/case-windtunnel.htm
Mobo:
Supermicro C2SBC-Q
http://www.supermicro.com/prod...re2Duo/Q35/C2SBC-Q.cfm
My problem is that I'm getting very high temperatures:
Idle:
55/42/48/49
Load (Prime95):
64/53/58/58
Now, that is with room temperature at around 29 (can't change it, sorry ), and Case temperature (between the RAM) at around 38.
As you can see, I also have a disturbing amount of variation between the cores.
Fascinatingly enough, when I enable the mobo's "silent" mode for the CPU fan, it drops its speed from ~1400 to 870, but the idle/load temps only go up by around 1-3 degrees. And the fan never speeds up, even under load.
Do I need more thermal compound? I thought I had slobbered on too much, so I had removed about 1/3 of it before mounting the HS, however, the HSF base is not perfectly smooth - it has ridges for the heat pipe to directly contact the CPU.
I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
