Does anyone know what's the danger temp zone for the i5-750? I'm trying to oc my i5 to 3.8 and is testing it with prime95, temp are reaching into the 80's c. I only have it at 1.2v for core. Need some help please...

 

[jerreece]

Pretty sure the i5 temp limit is like 70/72C.

I'm surprised your Corsair H50 is letting you hit 80C. I'm pushing 4Ghz @ 1.32V on my setup and highest I hit with Prime 95 is 71/72C with all 4 cores at 100%.

And frankly I need to reapply my AS5, because two cores are about 5C less than my hottest.

You and I basically have the same motherboard, yours just has USB 3.0 on it, and mine is USB 2.0

wow.. Maybe I need to reapply the artic silver 5 too... Mine is about 5c off also. Can you help me with the numbers in bios. I tried working on it for days now and I can't get the correct specs so my temp just keeps rising. I'm new to the quad core, I used to have duo core and this quad core has a lot of stuff to configure so I don't know if I'm doing it correctly or not. Please help. Would love to get all the things you changed in bios.

I agree the OP has issues with heat, and may need to re-seat his heatsink in this case. However don't let yourself think all cores should read equal. I own 5 intel quads all from Q6600 to I-7 920. They all vary from 2c to 8c from core 0 to 4 at full load prime 95 some more than others. I have a 9450 that seems to go no lower at idle than 48c no matter the heatsink used. Even with a thermalright IFX-14 Fire extinguisher I tend worry mainly that non exceed 70c under prime 95 full load.

 

[bubbatran209]

I just reapplied some Antec silver 5 the proper way and my quad core are all idle'n at 18c. They're all exactly the same too. It will jump here and there but most of the time, all four numbers are the same.. This is pretty awesome. The bad news is that I have to pull it apart and return my mobo because I have two defective dimm slots. Sux ass but I have to cuz I want to add another 4ghz to my system.

 

[Adroid]

what are you using over 4 ghz of ram for? 8 ghz of ram is overrated for most applications~

 

[bubbatran209]

I do a lot of downloading and gaming and movies. I normally have a lot of windows open and downloading at the same time. Even with 4ghz, it sometimes uses up to 65 or even 85% of the mem until I'm done.

 

[Adroid]

The next question is, once you add the ram, did you a notice a difference in speed? I am guessing not, but only one way to find out =)

I dunno. I don't have the mobo. I just shipped it back for a new one. I needed to do that before my 30 days expired. So that'll take like two weeks before I get a new one.

 

[andy5174]

The hottest core on my i5 is the 1st core and its maximum temperature is 59-60C at 3.8GHz with Prolimatech MegaShadow + 2x 1800rpm 90CFM coolermaster fan.

The Corsair H50 is on par with the prolimatech+one fan, so your temperature is absolutely abnormal. Try to reset the water block.

BTW, a merely 1.2V at 3.8GHz is amazing! You must be a lucky owner of a great chip!

I tried that already, but the temp diff is still 5C on average. Hence, don't waste your time doing it.

@3.6GHz, 100% Load, 18C Ambient:
51C 48C 48C 46C

 

[TyrAntilles]

I have a i5-750 on Gigabyte mobo (P55-UD3) and I noticed the same 5C difference between the cores thus only on idle, on full load the temps are fairly even.

I run into a other problem with temperature sensors displayed differently of different programs. Now the dilemma is what the real temperatures are on my board? Seems that EasyTune6 (Gigabyte utility) and HWMonitor report values with 10 C lower then RealTemp and CoreTemp. Which one is right...?
Maybe you have a similar problem on your board? Just out of curiosity, bubbatran209, witch program you used to monitor temp on your board? And how can you make sure the displayed temps are the real ones?

I posted a full review of my setup here http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums...ic.php?t=57310

 

[andy5174]

What are your full load temps?

 

[TyrAntilles]

I think i solved the temperature readings. It turned out that CoreTemp and RealTemp programs are reading sensors from CPU and EasyTune6 and HWMonitor are reading sensors from the motherboard. Of course the correct ones are CoreTemp and RealTemp. Looks like my system is not that cold I though it is...

Ambient temp = 25C
Idle temp = 32 C
Full load temp = 64 C

 

[TyrAntilles]

It turned out that one of the Intel push-pins of the heatsink gets out of my mobo. I reinstalled everything and my CPU temp never go over 61C in the most stressful test.

- CPU TEMPERATURES (ambient temp = 26ºC)
o idle (166x9=1494MHz) = 28ºC (28, 25, 25, 25 for each core)
o full load (166x20=3320MHz) = 61ºC (59, 61, 59, 59 for each core after 22 min. of IntelBurn Test at Maximum stress level)

Wow, it is hot 80 deg C. Running L4D2 or 3Dbenchmark06 have not gotten the temps over 56 deg C so far.

@ you guys with 5C difference in temps between cores - if the difference is 5C both at idle and full prime load I wouldn't worry about it. It could just be a poorly calibrated sensor in the chip. Was awfully common back in the ddr1 days of amd x2 chips, and not exactly unheard of in intels chips.

Ok I have answer for you, if you are going to overclock the CPu to 3.8GHz, it's best if you setting the voltage

Processor Core Voltage: Standard is 1.2v and Max is 1.4v (Used Load-line Calibation) and manual set the voltage for the cpu to 1.398v or 1.4v
Uncore Voltage: Standard is 1.2v and Max is 1.35v (Set it to 1.35)
Memory Voltage: Standard is 1.5v and Max is 1.65v (set it to 1.65)
PLL voltage: standard is 1.8v and Max is 1.880v ( Set it at 1.880v)

Now the Load-Line Calibation (enabled) will help as well.

This will help temps stay and a good range of 60C to 66C
You need to set this voltage in order to balance the temps or it would fail/get hot

Then try to down the voltage little bit at a time until you get the right low voltage.
Yes I am going backwards

Also you are using a 21x multiplier and if you want better score that 17954
It's best if you change that multiplier to either 20x or 19x and manual set the voltage as I'd wrote here
But still enables Load-line calibation

Cool Video Keiki646

I'm not yet an expert in O/C but your help is appreciated.
I have prime 95 to test but when I start it, I only have 4 test running and most forums and video
we see on the net talk about running 8 tests at the same time. Why?
What is the best core temp software? I use Core Temp rev. 0.99.5.27 - 64bit.
I'm not comfortable with memory O/C also. Like I said earlier, I'm using Memory G.SKILL F3-17066 DDR3 4GB:
CAS Latency Time: 9
tRCD: 9
tRP: 9
tRAS: 24

You say voltage and multiplier would make a difference?

I'll test that.

Thank you.

Here are my last test setting.
It's too bad that all overclocking test we see don't give us Bios settings.
So here are my settings, if that can help others.

Here's INTEL'S absolute max recommendation for your voltages, like anything else it's your computer and if you want to run your VTT well above Intel's absolute MAX completely up you guys.

Wow, you have guts! Running voltages beyond the intel absolute max, and running vcore that high with LLC enabled!

Sheesh, keep us posted. It will be interesting if your equipment can take that abuse.

Not sure I'd recommend this to "help" anyone else thou, certainly not for awhile!

I was thinking about your problem.

Make sure the H50 pump is plugged onto SFAN1 motherboard connection and not onto CPUFAN1, because you always want
full power to the pump. If you're connected onto CPUFAN1 and CPU Smart FAN Control is enabled then maybe your pump is not running at its best.
