    i7 920 load temps...are they normal?

    Ok, I got myself a Corsair Hydro Series H100, and it has helped quite a lot. I can keep the temp below 58 C now, even at 100% load. That's good enough for now. A large part of the improvement probably comes from the fact that it is so easy to install with 4 thumbscrews and plenty of space...

    i7 920 load temps...are they normal?

    Ok, I have switched back to the Ninja 2, it seems to cool slightly better than the Mugen 3. (idle temp around 33 C, instead of 37 C). Oh well, I'll just have to live with the high temps, I suppose. It doesn't affect performance, and if it eventually burns out I will just have to buy a new one.

    Ok, that's good to know. I just reseated that damn thing again, and it still shows the exact same problems. CPU was displayed as 80C, but even the baseplate directly above the CPU was not warm. Could this be a sensor readout error? I just find it extremely hard to believe that I am completely...

    i7 920 load temps...are they normal?

    I was thinking the same at first, but if that is really the case, I would not expect the temperature to drop almost 40 degrees as soon as the load stops. But in any case, I guess I will try to reseat that cooler one more time...

    i7 920 load temps...are they normal?

    I am in a similar situation. I use a Scythe Mugen 3 as cooler, idle temps are around 37 C, under 100% load it goes up to 78 C. I used to have a Scythe Ninja 2, which had the same problem. Switching to the Mugen 3 did not help. Reseating it and tightening the screws did not help. And my i7 920...
