Hey Everyone,
My new i5 3570k arrived today to replace my i3 2120. For now, I have it running on an H61 (Updated BIOS) 'till I can afford a Z77 and a better cooler.
Thing is, I'm trying to check the temperatures with Open Hardware Monitor. I tested it with GTA IV (And GTX 660), and:
Cpu core shows 77c (max)
While:
Cpu core #1 88c
Cpu core #2 84c
Cpu core #3 84c
Cpu core #4 85c
All of them, Max temps. I think there's no need to say this are high temps, I know that. By the way, Intel's turbo mode is enabled so the clock speed went up to 3791mhz.
Any temporary solutions? Underclock it? Disable intel's turbo? I know this is not the adequate mother nor cpu cooler for this unlocked i5, I'll have that (hopefully) next month, so avoid that.
Should I try back the stock cooler that I was using with the i3? Maybe this stock cooler just fails
