justinrmitchell Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Wondering what the RPMs are for the H70 pump. mine is running at a hair below 1400rpms and is plugged in on a fan header to the MB. BIOS is set to run all headers manual. Corsair staes a i7 920 overclocked to 3.8ghz using a 1.34v vcore runs about 71 degrees. My i7 920 running 3.8ghz using 1.25v vcore run about 78 degrees. Hence the RPM for the pump question. BTW how is the test by corsair determined? by the lowest core temp? I hope not. and where do they get a 1.34v vcore running under 90 degrees with this unit? (dont get me wrong it may be posable, however mine is not performing as staed by corsair that it should) Maybe a admin or moderator could help answer some of these question. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Corsair doesn't state what the ambient temperature is when stating the H70's performance. Your ambient may be 5c over what their test system was and that will easily account for higher temp. Matter of fact, even a 3c ambient increase could add 6c to your cpu temp.

Wired Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ambient temperature was at 25 Celcius: http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yup, 3c ambient difference could make the 6c cpu span. You really sound like your on par with the expected performance of the H70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Have you thought about dropping your vcore a bit? CPU batches differ, but I've got a 920 running at 1.31v @ 4.2Ghz at similar temps.

justinrmitchell Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Inside an oven with a controlled ambient temp of 25C, we put all hardware inside an Obsidian 800D. The Asus Rampage III extreme and Core i7 were overclocked to 3.8GHz (20x190 MHz, 1.34Vcore) and the graphics card used was a GTX 295. The load was provided with Prime95 64-bit @ 100% on all cores. The test was designed to be a worst-case-scenario of heat. The test was then run at max for four hours while the temps were logged in Everest. There was a single 120mm fan in the top panel of the 800D acting as the case’s sole exhaust. All fans were run at 100% above from thread by admin/ link no wonder. prime 95 does not stress the cpu as much as linx which most run today as is what i used to reach my temps.

FlawlessSoul Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Odd. Prime95 for me deals a stable high temperature. Linx deals a much more spiky temperature, dropping anywhere up to 10 degrees lower but never going 2 degrees higher than Prime95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrmitchell Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 linx spikes higher by a few degrees and prime is a steady climb until about 10 minutes later. either program is good for testing temps and stability. however linx stress 100% cpu and ram power, vs prime which stresses 100% cpu but only 20-40% ram. so linx would test the cpu and ram stability a bit better.

David thank you sir, i final found that answer late last night and is running as such. just exspected more from the unit. guess its on to full loop wc setup...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
