Intel Core i7-2490X Overclock issue with temperatur on core #1,2

[branen]

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me figure out the issue with core's #1,2 I do not understand why they run so much hotter, I have a Asetek liquid cooler in my HP blackbird the 240mm rad version, I have even reseated the water block 3 times same results. I will post a screen shot under full load.

I haven't even heard of a 2490X until this very moment, but I see that it's an Engineering Sample of some kind (in your screen shot, as well as seeing it after a search for it), so anything's possible, honestly.

It's an ES chip, so it's probably not "fully baked" and completely perfect. Those temps are strange, but not really unexpected (to me, at least).

Yah same here I did a little research before I got one, but essentially this is the first (ES) of the I7-3960X B0 Sample, Yah that's what I was thinking since it's a ES chip, Maybe I'll upgrade the cooling cuz I was able to hit 5.2Ghz but those 2 cores run to hot under full load

Yeah, I guess that's the best option, at this point, although custom water cooling may be the only thing much better (within reason).

Yah I have a Heatkiller 3.0 water block lapped that I'll install, But do you think the koolance RP-1200 5.25 single bay, an one 240 Radiator, an one 120 Radiator be enough? I'll only be cooling the Cpu.

Honestly, that gets a bit outside of my knowledge (not a W/C guru), but it should be better than the Asetek cooler, at least.

Yah I'm a beginner with w/c but have seen alot of systems setup! Yah I think this should work better than the Asetek also!! Thanks for all the advice!!

You're welcome.
