Hello All,
I've built up a q11 based on this threat (awesome case!), but am running into heat issues. The cores idle at 40C-45C and easily get into the 80-90C range when running Prime95, but stick to the 60-70C range when playing SC2.
I've tried replacing the stock HSF, as well as made sure that I've put the right amount of thermal paste on, etc. I've also run all the components outside of the Q11 and i'm still getting the same temps. Are any of the components to blame? I've even gone so far as to RMA the i5-760, thinking it was a defective CPU, but the replacement CPU is running just as hot as my first one.
Here's what i'm running:
ZOTAC H55ITX-C-E
Core i5-760
Scythe Shuriken Rev. B HSF
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SC 768mb
4 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws
OCZ Vertex 2 60 gb SSC
OCZ OCZ550FTY 550W Power Supply
WD Caviar Green 1TB 3.5"
Thanks!
