CPU overheating to 89 degrees while Rendering 3D

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

I have following config for my workstation

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 43 °C
Bloomfield 45nm Technology
RAM
12.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 539MHz (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X58A-UD7 (Socket 1366) 41 °C
Graphics
E2040 (1600x900@60Hz)
E2040 (1600x900@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (NVIDIA) 73 °C
1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 (XFX Pine Group) 40 °C

When I render with my 3D software, temperate of CPU goes up to 89 degrees.

While I am working in the view port of the software, GPU quadro temperature goes upto 90 degrees.

I have air conditioned room.

I have one side of CPU opened, with a table fan cooling the board. I have cooler master cabinet with three cpu fans. Plus there is the intel fan mounted on the processor.

Still the temperatures are too high.

Should I get a cooling rig, as my motherboard supports it.

How does I mount it on my computer?

I doubt I will find anyone in my City in in India to mount it.

Please can anyone suggest what should I do?

you need a better cpu cooler like the 212 evo its very easy to mount

either will do a great job

Nope too Big. 12.5 Cm.

Have a look at my motherboard

it has 6 RAM slots just beside the processor and a cooling rig connection just below the processor. The above fans wont fit and I need to use all my RAM slots for my 3D work.

do you have high profile ram

coolcole01 · Jul 10, 2014

if that much space is a concern then

Ya I am just going to upgrade it to 24 GB or maybe 48 GB. Have a look at this thread on this very site for why http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2206660/cpu-animation-render-farm.html

So it will come with cooling liquid?

What about my GPU? How do I cool it? Quadro has one major problem, fine dust gets collected inside it and it needs to be cleaned every few months. That is why I was looking to use some cooling rig which would cool both CPU and GPU together.

Corsair one might also not work, it is also 12 cm.

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

My current fan size is 10.5 to 11 cm. I can only check once I shutdown the computer.

whats the model of your mobo

if this is your mobo both of those will work just fine unless you have high profile ram

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

I gave the config at the top and the link above

Gigabyte X58A-UD7

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

Well I am going to buy a high profile RAM in a day or two.

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

Ok before buying I will talk with the dealer and find out whether it will fit or not. But what about the GPU quadro 4000?

coolcole01 · Jul 10, 2014

those are a different story an if you are looking to do all of them then a custom loop might be in order its expensive but will cover the cpu and gpu and give you the best temps possible

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

Any link available for the loop? Where do I buy it?

coolcole01 · Jul 10, 2014

look through this site bud should have everything your looking for

Sunny Kapoor · Jul 10, 2014

Thanks. Are there any sites for India? Importing from outside will double the expense.
