3770k running hot at stock

[billythekid2012]

Hi all just got a 3770k and ran prime 95 at stock my room temp is 23c

but this is just after 2 minutes running the stress test



I has reset thh100 like 6 time tried a pea size and a grain of rice

i had to use some other thermal past after the 3ed re mount.

mx4 is what i have on it now.

this is my set up

[RAM GUY]

That is about normal for full load on that CPU when looking at the core temps.

[billythekid2012]

so 75c at stock is what a h100 can do then your cooler sucks sorry

my firend has air cooler and his stock temps are 56c at load

running prime 95 for 2 hours and 76c at 4.5

[RAM GUY]

Check the CPU temp with the software that came with your MB and post what it shows.
In additon, what thermal paste did you use and for our coolers putting a small beeb in the center may not be enough. I would remove the cooler and check the there is a coat evenly spread on the CPU and cooler also check there is nothing obstructung the cooler from fitting evenly on the CPU.

Also, don't automatically assume that your temp reporting is correct. It's free software vs a proven CPU cooler. If you'll check the release notes at Tech Powerup you can see that there is no specific mention of Ivy Bridge updates.

[billythekid2012]

i used mx-4
but i thing i know what the problem is
i got the stock fan replaced i want these

but i think the store put these on

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX39403

so your saying i should cover the hole cpu with thermal past.

my you show me a pic of what it should look like and what thermal past to use.

im using realtemp 3.70

[Yellowbeard]

I see that you are using 3.70. That's why I posted the release notes for 3.70. There is no mention at all of the Cougar Point chipset or the Ivy Bridge CPUs. Like I said, don't automatically assume that a piece of free software is 100% reliable on all systems.

[billythekid2012]

so what should i go by if not realtemp

and did you read about the fans

[billythekid2012]

so real tem needs to do a update

i found a nother app from intel that read temps

Intel Extreme Tuning Utility it has a stress test for cpu and ram

you can overclock with it but i dont trust that i do that from the bios

Billy thekid2012,

My room temp is 22.9 degrees, running prime95, running small FFT's on my 3770K @ stock, my idle temps are 29,31,31,29 and load temps are 63, 66, 62 58 using a H100 with 2 x SP120 fans on LOW (1000 rpm).

Pretty darn good if you ask me. 6 degrees above ambient at idle is pretty normal for H2O. Some chips overclock better than others. I have found that the extra heat and voltage required is simply not worth overclocking. I have given up wasting hours and hours tweaking, reinstalling, upgrading bios's etc.

Good luck with your overclocking though.

P.S. I had to re-seat my H100 as the original motherboard I had was faulty. I cleaned the CPU and Block with 99% isopropyl alcohol, covered the whole CPU heat spreader with a very thin coating of Arctic Silver 5!

so what should i go by if not realtemp

and did you read about the fans

I would really suggest that you use the software that came with your motherboard. It should come with an app that monitors CPU temps and others. Check the temp there and see if its accurate from what you are getting from Real Temp.

Both of those fans are designed to be mounted on a radiator, so I don't think that will make a big difference If you are using either of the two.

RealTemp 3.70 is reading the core temperature data of your Ivy Bridge CPU just fine. Intel has not changed the location of the temperature related registers since the Core i CPUs were introduced in November 2008.

The guys over at XtremeSystems seem to have lots of confidence in RealTemp 3.70 when monitoring their Ivy Bridge CPUs.

That thread explains the real problem with Ivy Bridge CPUs and how to fix it. If you have the guts to take a razor blade to your CPU and remove the heat spreader and replace the second rate thermal material that Intel is using, your temperatures will drop dramatically.

Most motherboard software does not report your peak core temperature so I would avoid using that. Thermal throttling and thermal shut down of Intel Core CPUs is determined by the peak core temperature so you might as well be monitoring that.

Sorry for jumping in on this thread but I suffer from the same temp issues with H100. I have opened a separate thread on my H100 temp issues but I'll describe what I have just to prove the point of the OP.

I use i7 3770K and Asus P8Z77-V-Deluxe MOBO.
I also used the thermal paste that's on the pump and used my own Formula 7 paste.

I had a noisy H100 which on idle 1.6Ghz 0.98Vcore had 19~22 degrees.
AWESOME! Isn't it?

Just to be clear here, the motherboard monitoring application that's on Asus CD, is not accurate at all and have slow polling rate for the thermal status.

On lower temps, both RealTemp and Asus Ai Suite showed similar results, but as the temps went high, Asus Ai suite was inaccurate to the point it is useless.

I have contacted Kevin Glynn - the guy behind RealTemp, he assured me that the application reading are accurate as they can be (While Tjmax is set to 105 for Ivy). His answer was to my question regarding temp sensor calibration.

Yesterday I have received the revised version of H100 after selective RMA.
The noise is gone, but guess what, the temps are higher then expected for water cooling. They are high as my old Air cooling of Xigmatek Achilles SD1284 handled in idle.

For the same specs as 1.6Ghz, 0.98Vcore I get 33degrees.
So, i hardly believe you guys when you say it's perfectly normal for H100, it's far from normal.

But let's talk load temp rather then idle.

4.5Ghz @ 1.22Vcore 10 minutes load test with PRIME95 I get up to 75degrees with H100...
Now guess how my old Xigmatek air cooling did at the same specs?
76~79 degrees!

That's no way near good for H100 WATER cooling kit.

Now I don't know if to RMA it or get a refund and go back to air cooling for much much lower price.

Let it break in for a couple of days and see if the temp changes... BUT as it is, looks fine to me. KEEP in mind that these cooler are not the same as Custom water cooling systems..
