I just finished swapping in an Asus P7P55-M board (LGA 1156) and pulling my old i7 860 from this deprecated HP box. In addition to the new mobo, there is a new case w/ 2 120mm fans, and a Cooler Master EVO 212 cooler.
I got everything installed and fired it up, only to find that the *idle* temps in bios were accelerating up to 60deg/c. In the OS, with no load, it hovers around 57-60c...which is insane. Ambient temps are 74deg F in here. The CPU cooler is going at a full 2kRPM constantly trying to keep the heat down.
The voltages, according to CPU-Z, are pretty much normal, showing core voltage anywhere between 0.85 and 1.0, core at 3400ish.
After removing, cleaning and reseating the damn evo 212 about 15 times over the past few hours, there has been *no change* to the core temps. No variation of installation, or thermal paste layout, makes any difference. I can't swap in the "stock" cooler, as the bolt pattern on the HP boards are unique to them (along with the cooler) and I don't have another LGA based box close by to swap in components. I can say that, in the old box, I can achieve a 30deg/c idle with all the stock HP craptastic stuff...so it's either a severe voltage issue, or this cooler has a defect which I can't detect (it sure as hell looks like it's flat... and torqued down as far as it will go).
Ideas?
