Hello members of the Tom's Hardware forums!
I recently built a new PC that includes the following:
i7 920 (now overclocked to 3.2Ghz)
Noctua NH-U12P 1336 Edition Cooler
EVGA GTX 260 (Overclocked to superclocked speeds)
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard
Corsair HX750 PSU
Corsair 6GB (2GBx3) XMP RAM
CoolerMaster HAF 932 Case to house it all.
The computer works great, but I am a little worried about my CPU temperatures. The first time I put the computer together, the temps were about 47-48c idle and like 75c during Prime 95's Torture Test. After I remounted today, my idle temps are about 43c and I havent tried Prime 95 yet to get my load temps. But anyway, I think that my idle temps a re a little higher than what they should be. By reading some reviews of the cooler on Newegg, I saw that most people were getting in the 30's idle (shile they were overclocked). My question is why is mine so much hotter and is there anyway to fix it?
My room is pretty hot (summer, no A/C)
I dont know how to undervolt but would learn how to if I had too
Measuring temps with RealTemp
Help is appreciated! Thank you!
