Tjunction:
Min idle: 42C (Real Temp)
Max load: 77C (Real Temp)
Tcase:
5C less than Tjunction.
Ambient = 70F
Chipset = X58
CPU = i7 920
CPU Cooler= Coolermaster V8
Frequency = 3.6 Ghz
Speedstep/Turbo = Disabled
Load = Prime95 - Small FFT's - 9 hours (Stable)
Motherboard = Asus P6T
Stepping = C0/C1 (CPUID)
Core Voltage = 1.168V (CPUID)
Turbo Fan = Off (BIOS)
Open case, Cooler Master HAF 932.
Hey so I played around and finally got a stable overclock, I think. Looking at Comp's scales I realize the Tjunction temps on load is a little high for the recommended 68C load on TCase. I changed my CPU fan to a Coolermaster V8, it seems to be performing better than the Zalman 9900, and it is more quiet.
What do you guys think? Is the load temp too high? Is it a big deal? The way I justify it is: how often am I going to stress all 4 cores at 100%? I am only playing games.
