680i Owners
I have a IN932Max
my first 680i
this thing runs freaking hot, or maybe its normal temps?

I am running a mild overclock, 3.6Ghz on a 6700 (10x360) with mild volts
1.445 for the CPU, 1.4 for NB
the cpu is around 55-62C
But
the NB, PWM and other temps are 100-105C under load?!?
Is this normal? I wanted a quiet system, and it is until about 10 minutes of 3D and my PSU kicks into high gear from all the heat...

Is the P35 a much cooler board/chipset???
thanks!

I have the Striker Extreme.
Yesterday, I installed one of those temp probes that comes with the board on the NB.
I wiggled it inbetween the HS and the NB. Anus Probe is showing 63. Seems kinda hot, but not like the 100+ you're seeing :eek:
I wonder how the thermal paste was applied for the striker? Anyone know?
 
I wouldn't exactly call that voltage "mild" for a passive cooled 680i. With the kind of voltage you're using on the IN9 the temps are a bit high (a bit high here being enough to boil water), but still expected. You must re-apply the TIM on the chipset for such overclocking. However, the PWM sink requires a thick thermal pad to make adequate contact, and you'll be better off leaving that there than using new paste. Active cooling on at least the NB is also a must.
 
I hve the evga 680I. I'm currently getting 73c from Nv monitor and Core temp. I have my
E6600 Oced at 3.6. watercooled to. thats on max load runing orthos Prime and 3dmark loops for 3hrs+. So I think you are ok,
 
I have the evga 680 a1 but everything I have heard indicates that most of the 680i boards were built by foxxcon and are pretty much the same.Anyway I was getting 70-80 degree mcp temps until I removed all heatsinks and cleaned and repasted.Now my mcp temps are 36 degrees at idle with a qx6700.motherboard temps now never get above 45 degrees when running prime 95.

Sounds like you need to fold over the TIM on the VRM section of the heatpipe. DO NOT REMOVE THE TIM ON THE VRM SECTION. The clearance is too large and if you dont have the 2+mm thick pads on there you will fry your board.

You cannot run an IN9-32X- Max at any overclock without active cooling on the VRM/NB/SB heatpipe.

Temps are normal for passive cooling on those components
 
"removed all heatsinks and cleaned and repasted"

So just doing this will drop temps by 30C or more?!?
If so I will rip my board out and do it, anyone else confirm huge drop on this??
 
I don't know if they will drop that much by itself but I also added 2 130 cfm delta fans and that helped some also_One other thing,you did not mention what video card you have but if it is an 8800 gtx use riva tuner to set your fan speed manually at 100%.those cards are probably one of the biggest sources of heat in a case .But you will see a great improvement in cleaning and repasting with as5 or my choice shin-etsu x23.Like I said in my previous post my board is a evga 680i a1 made by foxxcon so I don't know if your board has the problem with the tim that the reference boards have .
 
As for the temps on the PWM.s i put a ADDA (AD0612LX-A76GL) 60mm fan on the place for the optional 40mm fan with cabelties and dropped about 15-20 degress celcius when i had a IN9 MAX and my Q6600 G0. This ADDA-fan is quiet and yet has decent airflow for it size.
But still my 750W PSU has it fans on higher level with the powerhungry and hot 680i and not so quiet is now on my new and cooler X38 board and OC quad better to.
