It idles between 96-102F and under full load it can go up to 108-110F.
Get rid of that monster 80mm...
Use a thin coat of Artic Silver 3 on the CPU, make sure the heatsink is seated properly. Most importantly, make sure you are getting good airflow though your case.
I have 3 80mm 30cfm's for the case. One on the front is blowing in and the 2 right behind where the CPU sits under the powersupply blowing out. My case temp is 73F (23C). |
That is pretty darn cool..I am 120°F right now and 93°F in the Case. I have 2 92mm Fans on the side of the case, 1 on the Front, 1 60 mm (weak sauce fan) on the rear, and the Enermax Dual Fan PS...plus a 80mm 36cfm fan on the SLK-800. I just ordered a stronger fan for my CPU variable up to 76cfm at 48dB so we will see how it goes. I think my biggest issue is air flow as currently the PC is in a cubby in the my desk..recently I took the jig saw to the desk to give it some more air flow. In addition I have lowered my
OC from 15x152 at 1.75v to 15x145 at 1.65v. In addition the CPU does have a thin layer of artic silver 3 on the die.
