I7 930 heat issue

Last response: in CPUs
Share

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how i can lower my i7-930 temperatures. I am currently at 3.6ghz with a vcore of 1.18 and i am getting core temperatures of around 70-71c with prime95 with a cooler master 212+ with an outside ambient temperature of around 29-30c. The reason i am concerned is because with such low vcore i would think my temperatures would be in the lower to mid 60s.

Thanks, any suggestions would help :)

reapplied paste and reseated heatsink and my temps slightly lower, hovering around 67-69 but the ambient temp has went down a few degrees too. But it did seem to shave a few degrees off. Maybe i just got a hot chip? i don't know what else it could be.

How much is your ambient? You MUST and MUST and MUST mention the ambient temp when you are talking about air cooling (or sometimes, watercooling). In summer, my Linpack load is 71C but in winter it drops to 59C.

Does not seem like an out of the ordinary temperature for a fully loaded overclocked Core i7 930.

At 4.4GHz, I often attain higher than 80C when fully loaded and watercooled. They do run hot :) 

My Phenom II X6 1090T @ 4GHz hits around 61C when fully loaded under multithreaded Prime (With a Coolermaster V8).

Yep... at 4.6GHz I can only really run it reliably when it gets cooler outside.

These things run hot :) 

Of course I'm talking about an Intel Core i7 980x but it has been my experience that a Core i7 920 D0 is similar.

ya, right now my temps are reading about 68-70 with 30mins on prime95 and its 82F + in this room atm. If those temps are typical though than i am happy, as i do not plan to overclock past 3.6 anyways. Thanks everyone for their input
