I7 temps

Do all the i7's have the same max temp? I know the 920 is 100c, but how about the 965?

Yes they have the same thermal limit

So with your i7 920 @ 4.1, 1.36 vcore, and a Xiggy 964, how overtemp are your cores at full load Prime 95 Small FFT?

damn nice temps! I GOT MINE TO 3.6 ghz and i idle at 45c with max temps at 75c with teh v8 heatsink, tell me your secret man!! waht do you do to keep her cool?, my vcore is only at 1.268. i ordered the lapping kit and some different thermal greese to see if that will help me any, i really hope it does

i tried that, but when i check system properties it only shows that i have 2.7ghz?? so what would be the point of the overclock? or does it still function the same?

so your sayin change out my heatsink fans? to fix the issue. also im getting the readings off core temps with real temp monitoring not speedfan temps

the black sniper case, its pretty big, on off the bigger ones compared to the rest, with pretty good ventilation, except it stands under my desk,

3 case fans, rear front, and top

Thats your problem.

Add two blowing in on the door and one on the bottom of the case.

i think it is too , cause when i crank the fans up my temps stay the same so you are saying get some fans that blow from the side door on the mobo, and one that blows from teh bottom of the case up?

The only time I enable HT is for Flight Simulator X. It's the most CPU intensive title you can run, and requires massive amounts of multi-threaded-overclocked horsepower, which is where it derives it's frame rate.

oh ok, thanks to both of you i got some homework to do lol, does hyper thread dissable four off the cores? becasue when i tried running prime95 with hyperthread off, it only showed 4 cores instead of 8.

i tried playing with the qpi but it didnt change much either, currently i have 1.24

ahh thanks, i usually just play call of duty online andsome other smaller games. so im guessing they wont need all of the 3.6ghz

It's all about Batch# first, then Pack Date. Check out the following - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc [...] 84YAIFaRaw

I'm running a hand picked Batch# 3836B, with QPI set @ 1.30.

Turning HT off will have a negligible effect in terms of reduced performance, unless you're running a game or application which is coded for multiple threads. However, clock per clock, due to the 10% Vcore increase required to maintain stability when HT is turned on, HT increases CPU temperature and Core temperatures by a whopping 33%.

hey im back already, i turned off hyper thread, and added two fans on the side of the door to blow right on the v8 heatsink, and my temps are still at 44 -45c idle. something not right here? its prob 72f in my room right now

ok hold on

For Core i7's only, SpeedFan 4.37 needs a +15c offset for the Core temperatures. Temp 2 is your CPU temperature. Also, turning off HT will affect load temperatures only, so run Prime95 Small FFT's for 10 minutes. Make sure that all fans are at 100% RPM.

What was your ambient when you took the screenshot?

24c. So if you adjust to standard ambient which is 22c, then your mean core temperature is 63.75c at Prime95 Small FFT's. Follow so far?

I think I got lucky on my chip, the highest i've seen my pc go was 71c after running prime 95 for 30 hours. However, my vcore is below the standard 1.3 and i am very stable at 1.188. I do have HT enabled... I used real temp to monitor my temps. I'm cooling with a lapped thermalight ultra 120 extreme, with artic silver 5 paste. I also lapped the chip and both have a mirror like finish. The antec 1200 has plenty of fans to keep me cool (9 total).

The back of your desk needs to be open in order to provide an exit path for warm exhaust, so it doesn't recirculate in through the side.

Not even close. Real Temp reads Core temperatures only. SpeedFan reads CPU temperature AND Core temperatures.
