Alexraptor Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey, does anyone know what normal temps are for a Core i5-2500k stock settings running an H70 would be? I'm getting around 33-35c Idle and 56-60c under full load in Prime95 I have the fans rigged for exhaust rather than intake as my GTX 470 throws out a lot of heat that i don't want getting sucked in if i had intake, internal case temps are around 28c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have the fans rigged for exhaust rather than intake as my GTX 470 throws out a lot of heat that i don't want getting sucked in if i had intake what?? exhaust takes air from inside the case and blows it out. intake sucks fresh air from outside into the case.

Alexraptor Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 what?? exhaust takes air from inside the case and blows it out. intake sucks fresh air from outside into the case. Yes exactly. Intake would suck up the hot air that my GPU is spewing out of the case right beneath it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 is your computer inside of a box?;): i dont believe it will have the impact you think it would. your vga is not the only source for the rad fans, there is a great deal more cool air that will do a better job of cooling the rad than the warmer air inside the case. but then again, i dont know whats behind your PC that would limit its ventilation.

Alexraptor Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hmmm well that did seem to improve things, guess i overestimated the impact the GPU waste heat would have lol. New temps are as follows: 32-35c idle, 54-57c under full load in Prime95. Running the fans at 1600rpm though instead of 2000 because the later is just way too noisy, even find 1600rpm too noisy =/ So anyway the question still stands, are these temperatures normal for this CPU/Cooler together?

Alexraptor Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hmm idle temps around 37-40c after overclockning to 4ghz @ 1.25v, having disabled Speedstep and C1E. Load temps seem nice, peaking at most at 60c, but are my idle temps normal?(previous idle temps were with C1E and Speedstep enabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 18, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 18, 2011 Those numbers definitely look to be within the acceptable range. Every system is different so there isn't really a "normal temp" that you will always see, but anything below 40C at idle and about 60C load sounds about right. These "typical" values will definitely change depending on how much overclocking is done with the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexraptor Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Glad to hear it. :) I'm at 4 now, but my ultimate goal is to with some luck reach 5ghz with reasonable voltages. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limpy1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 For comparison. I have an H60 with two 120mm 2000rpm fans, 62CFM as rear intake. Intel i7 2600K @ 4GHz. Idle temp 30-31 degrees, load temps 57-58 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limpy1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oh and ambient temp is 22 degrees. Core voltage 1.17V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apehangers Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 H60 push/pull i7-2600k @ 4.5Ghz idle 29-31C, at high working load (not prime 95) highest 57C ambient temp is 20C Normal temps are dependent on ambient temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
