Blackbustercrit Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I recently took out the stock fan from on my CPU in hopes to get away from those 50-60 c temperatures so I could over clock, but as I'm watching the temperatures with the new H50 installed, they're literally the same! I tried having the fan intake air from the outside, and it was HOTTER than the stock fan, but it finally matched the stock fan temperatures when I switched it around to blow air out.

..VeNoM.. Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 stupid question but have you checked your CPU voltages? also did you clean the CPU before fitting the H50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbustercrit Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 No, I havent check the CPU voltages. Its not overclocked though. I did clean the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Make sure you have the latest BIOS and then clear the CMOS and reset your BIOS settings. It could be a temperature reporting issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbustercrit Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 I hope so. I'll do that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbustercrit Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Nope, the temperature readers were correct. I changed the fan and radiator around so that the radiator is against the case, and the fan is blowing air from inside the case to outside. That seemed to work better than having air pulled in from the outside. But the temperature difference between the stock fan and the watercooler still isnt significant. Should I post pictures of what my case and fan set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 yes please, also check that the h50 pump is seated properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinZ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 50-60Cs are INSANELY GOOD. If your stock cooler can do that, you don't need an aftermarket cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xunaka Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 50-60Cs are INSANELY GOOD. If your stock cooler can do that, you don't need an aftermarket cooler. those are terrible temps.. especially with no overclocking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 q9300: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAWE yeah, with a thermal specification of 71.4C, 50-60 is pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinZ Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 those are terrible temps.. especially with no overcloc******** I assumed he means load temperatures, aka - Prime95 or LinX load. I don't believe stock cooler idles at 50-60Cs, that would be pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badbob Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I wonder if the case may be the problem. The sonata III 500 has a maximum of 2 case fans and is designed to be a quiet case rather than one with good air flow for performance systems. Try to use a push/pull configuration on the rad with air exhausting from the case and install a fan in the middle position as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thats a terrible airflow case.You might as well put the h50 in a stock HP case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbustercrit Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'll try the push pull configuration blowing air out the case. Also, how many RPM should the pump be going at? Mine is going at 1300 rpm. Is that the max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 1400rpm +/- 10% is the max speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badbob Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 my pump is connected to the pwr fan header and runs at 1445 rpm with a slight buzzing noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
