Hi all,
A work computer that is using an i7-860, stock intel heatsink, and a Thermaltake Lanbox is running exceptionally hot. Ambients are fairly cool, idle is approx 45-50C, P95 will raise temps to (and probably higher than) 90C as reported in RealTemp in fairly short order.
Reseating the HSF did little to help. Yes I know about thermal paste application etc, however this is the first time I've worked on a machine with the stock HSF in a Lanbox, and this HSF is a much smaller version than that which the i7-920 uses.
I'm about to just move it to a tower case and put a decent HSF on it, but have a hard time imagining that these temps are normal even given the less than ideal cooling of the Lanbox and stock HSF. . .does anyone have experience running this setup without issues? Are there issues with the temp sensors on these?
