NewCastle Temps

Hey guys, I just got a new NewCastle cpu 3200+. I use to have a 3200+ Clawhammer that only overclocked to 2.4ghz max and that wasn't very stable so I decided to go the newcastle route.

However my temps seemed to have changed a lot. The clawhammer I use to run ran at full load with 1.75volts at 38-40c with water cooling and an ambient temperature of 30c.

The newcastle however runs at full load of 50C with an ambient temperature of 30c. Same voltage on both cpus. Same cooling. I've redone the contact between the NewCastle and my TDX Block numerous times. The temps however remain the same.

The clawhammer was ran at 2.4ghz and the newcastle runs at 2.6ghz to match the clawhammer performance.

The only difference between chip installations is that with the clawhammer I ran it on Stock Cooler for 2 days and the TIM on it completely melted on it. With the newcastle however I just ran it with AS5 and never touched the Stock cooler.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to lower my temps it would be greatly appreciated. I can not afford a phase change system tho. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Dont sweat it untill you have stablility issues..should also not trust any tempt that is not from a probe. .

Go water if you cant go phase. ;)
 
You should list your rig. Those termps are still fine. If you have no problmes I would not worry about it.

The temp probe is probily wrong, if it is coming from the motherboard then it is because of the BIOS/ temp program not reading right.

I have the MSI K8N Neo Platinum and any temp program that I use is way to high because I have the same problem, my temps read 240F+ and I know that is not right because I have done the waterblock multiple times too.
