note i guess this is the same cooler as some xigmatek cooler i forgot the exact model #

ok so i have a brand new kingwin RVT-12025D. you can see the specs of this cooler here http://www.kingwin.com/product_pages/rvt12025D.asp

anyway i am about to smash my entire computer and burn my house down because i am so ****ed. i have dismounted and remounted this stupid cooler literally 10 times and while it will keep the processor cool at around 25 to 30c on all cores at idle, if i run intel burn test the processor will shoot up to 100c (the tjmax) in core temp!

WHAT THE (#$$#*($#*($#

its a q6600
perfect airflow

i even took the mobo out of the computer case and just had it running by itself and it does THE SAME THING.

this cooler has the Heat-pipe Direct Touch Technology (H.D.T.) Technology. if there is too much as-5 on it will that cause the temps to go that high? i really didnt think so.

and i guess i could lap this stupid thing but am i going to expect this to really cool that much more? i mean i have lapped cpus and coolers before so its not a big deal but wow.

is this thing broken? i mean i let it get insanely hot and i was touching the heatpipes and they didnt feel that hot at all.

and what is this "washer mod". i searched for it and could not find anything
 
what CPU and at what voltages?

could be a bad cooler, whats funny is your idles are normal, dont know why your loads go up so high.

ya, too much artic silver is bad, are you folling the install instructions on articsilver.com? it differs in comparision between dual core and quad core CPU's.

i mean, if your running 100c and that thing didnt shut down/throttle/bsod, I would almost think the readings could be wrong.

also, if it shows 100c and your heatpipes arnt even warm to the toch, either the heat isnt being asbsorbed by your heatsink (maybe not making proper contact) or its really just not that hot. 100c+ would be hot enough to burn your finger....
 
its stock
like 1.3volts

and yeah at 100c it starts throttling the speed and the voltage i can see that happening. its whenver i put a load on the computer boom the temps shoot way way up. i really have no clue wth is going on and it is really upsetting. i am going to try to lap the heatsink maybe the direct touch heatpipes arent really doing a lot of touching and its just the other metal surrounding it? i really have no clue
 
ya sounds like it. Its like you have a heatsink, but its like worse then a stock intel one. It keeps it kool at idle, but under full load its not sufficient enough. If the heat pipes are damaged I could see this being a problem.

my understanding is heatpipes have a special gas in them, and if its not there, they dont work as designed. becarful lapping the heatpipes, cause if you go too far, you might make thsi gas escape.
 
oh well thanks for the info i didnt know about the gas thing. but even if i did go too far i dont think i could be any worse off than i already am! haha
 
I was under the impression it was a Thermal activated liquid that moves about in the pipe, sounds like a contact problem, I have seen that the best way of getting a thermal contact is to put the paste on the metal between the heat pipes give the best thermal contact, try that out.

Click to expand...

ya, sorry, to clarify it is a liquid and a gas. It starts as a liquid, and as it gets hot, it turns to a gas and will float up towards the fins of the heatsink. once the gas cools down, it turns back into a liquid and falls down to start the cycle over. thats how heat pipes work :)

eh, i dont think that will hurt, but the heat pipes are the most important part, they must be making contact with the chip, with as little AS5 in between as possible. Keep in mind that even on a flat surface if you zoom in there are cavaties and crevaces and the AS5 is to fill in those holes. You really only want to use as little as possible, the heat/pressure from the CPU/heatsink will cause it to go where it needs to be and fill in those holes. I have seen people overload with AS5 and it cause temp issues. Make sure your using like

1/4 an inch link from left to right on a quad core, about the thickness of the metal an average paperclip is made from. It wont look like enough, but trust me it is.
