2.8e temp with stock hsf

[gotskill10]

Hi,

Im getting 50 C as the cpu temp running a stock 2.8e p4. Is this normal and ok? Let me know guys. Thx

fine for a "E" but i would say to look into better cooling

are you useing the thermal pad that came on it or thermal paste

 

[gotskill10]

im using the stock pad and fan. Im going to put a volcano 7+ with thermal paste. What temps should i get with that setup?

 

[thebro]

i wouldnt do that setup but if you already got it fine. im not sure since no cpu is exactly the same.

as5 is the best thermal paste imo

i would suggest a sp-94 w/ either a 92mm vantec stealth [quiet] or 92mm vantec tornado [loud, but kick ass cpu temps] and if you want the tornado i would also get the nexus fan controler so you can control how loud it is.

or

zalman CNPS7000A-Cu [nice and quiet too]

We don't generally use motherboard temps, mobo temps are always innacurate! As long as your system is stable, do not stress about temps, temps are not the only sign of a bad system!

yea but they are to be used as a guide

do not go over 60C load on a intel or it will not last long

That's more appropriate for a AMD CPU.
