MyBlaster Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 So I just got my new H70. In this previous thread (mods close if you will), I wrote about my H50 not working very well due to a couple of possible problems. http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91121 Mostly I thought the H50 waterblock wasn't seated on the CPU correctly due to thermal paste not spreading around my CPU upon removal. Well I have my H70 now and I've seen idle temps around 33-35 degrees, and upon running prime 95 for about 8 minutes (while I type) my load temps are at about 59. I'm using the push pull set up and I was wondering are these temps safe to OC, and can I do better on my i7 930 (at stock speeds) 2.8GHZ. Also thanks again to the guys that put your input in the previous thread. Update: I'm not sure of my ambient room temps, but this room is pretty warm with very little airflow.

MyBlaster Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 hmm new tests of prime 95 range from 59-62 after 15 mins, I haven't hit 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlaster Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 how are these temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkolbo Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 All that appears fine. I was overclocking that CPU to 3.6GHz and 3.8GHz but no higher. The temps went nutz above that. You have plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl1054 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 those are my temps at 4ghz on my i7 930. i think your h70 isn't giving you the full performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CristiM74 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Are you getting 63'C in prime95 with 930 @ 4GHz? I find that strange, as I get 80'C in these conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkolbo Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 That is what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
