Thanks, I was heading in that direction as well. Oh well, dig the beast out of its corner, take it to bits AGAIN, and see what the paste looks like :-( (btw, the temperatures are about 1C lower with HT turned off, not as much as I expected...)

One other option to look at is how the fan is attached to the radiator. Is it sucking air from the outside in through it into the case, or pumping air out of the case out through it? The latter will (of course) heat up the cooling fluids even more. Does your H80i have just one fan, or two? If two, are they both turning 'the same way'? |

Paste looked to be "all on one side", and one side of the clamp didn't feel as comfortable against the underside of the MoBo as the other (and that was the side with "unpulled" paste on it. So let's see what happens if I put a thin (paper/card) shim or washer on the underside of the "legs" of the mounting bracket.

Nice "shiny" new paste, shims in place, uniform payer. Temperature still in the region of 86C, which is far warmer than the "hot running" AMDs in the rest of the farm :-( And now Widdows is moaning that it is not a genuine copy - well it is, shrink wrap was broken last Friday to do the install, so what the chuff chuff are MS playing at now?

Ageless - Just checked both fans are spinning the same way, radiator is totally outside the case, in "nice cool air" (ambient where they are is about 30C) Hmm, CoreTemp saying 4.4GHz, when I didn't think I'd got any overclocking on this 4GHz CPU - that needs to be looked at.

"£$%^&*()_+ auto-over-clocking "£$%^&*()_ Turned it off and the temperatures are a more reasonable 62-65C (max) Now let it run for a few hours crunching on CPU and iGPU to see how it behaves. Then its see how Richard's latest installer works Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

4.4 GHz is the regular turbo boost on this CPU. |

4.4 GHz is the regular turbo boost on this CPU. Gigabyte motherboards often have an A.I. overclocking function. Which is on by default. I always turn it off immediately. So I didn't even consider that it was running on their system. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Turned it off and the temperatures are a more reasonable 62-65C (max) Re check the water block mounting- something is still not right. My system is running at those temperatures with an air cooler & high 20°c ambient temperatures. Even overclocked, with a water cooler I would expect around 60°c or lower temperatures with ambient temperatures in the mid 30°s. The fact that the CPU was showing such a high core temperature & the radiator wasn't hot shows the heat isn't getting from the CPU to the radiator. If the water block is also not hot, it indicates it's not fitted correctly. If the block is hot, but the radiator isn't, then it indicates a water pump issue. From memory, (depending on the case & how the radiator is mounted etc) a water cooler will keep the CPU temperature about 40°c above ambient. A good air cooler is about 60°c above ambient (these temperatures are for a maximum overclock with maximum overvoltage- ie the absolute extreme limit). For general use & auto overclocks the temperature above ambient should be even lower. Grant Darwin NT |

Temps are now a much more reasonable 45ish - with an ambient of 30, so it looks as if the shims are working. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
