I7 920 @ 4.0ghz - intelburntest temps

Hello,

I have posted this in the "General" cpu section and not the overclocking section and apologize for the double post. I am still new here to the forums.

I am just testing to see how far I can push my cpu but am not going to run it full time at these high clocks... I will most likely keep it around 3.6ghz and ram clocked at 1804mhz. (Stable prime95 and intelburntest)

I just passed intelburntest and used the option 1 for max stress and 10 passes... the temps do go up pretty high even with a cooler master v8 w/ a swaped out 105cfm Silverstone fan in a xclio Windtunnel full tower.

(This is a c0/c1 stepping chip w/ Asus P6T Deluxe V2 & Corsair Dominator 1866mhz ram clocked down to 1604mhz.)

Settings are:
CPU Ratio: 20
BLCK: 200
CPU Vcore: 1.35v
Ram Bus Vcore: 1.66v
Ram timings: 9-9-9-24-2T

Highest core temps recorded:
Core 0: 82*c
Core1: 80*c
Core2: 80*c
Core3: 76*c

Highest CPU temp itself was 71*c - Also to add my ambiet room temps is around 60*F haha... pretty cool day here.

This is all while surfing the web and chatting on Aim. I read that using the linpack testing will result in higher temps than prime and it did for me... but the tolerance level of the temps is more acceptable/understandble because of the load.

**What I am wondering is if my temps are too high during the intelburntest: option1/10 passes.

(Note: I have a Prolimatech Megahalems comming in the mail so the temps will definitely go down.)

Thank you for your responses in advance!

google is your friend.

I'm at work so I can check when I get home. I use Yahoo, since I like their News. At least you didn't use Google as a verb... I have to correct everyone that says "Just Google it" *SMACK*

I like LinX better. It has a better GUI.

Ok so appareantly I didn't know the Intel Burnin Test WAS LINPACK. This is included in OCCT 3.0.1. I ran this and it didn't hit my CPU as hard as OCCT does.
