Hey all,
Have the rig in my sig below... nothing "great" by means of the norm around here, but it gets me where I'm going.
When I fire up SpeedFan after OCing to 3.2 (VCore is 1.32 in BIOS), it shows a nice red flame next to "AUX", with a temp readout of about 66C.
When I Prime 95, this shoots up to ~77C. That was after 10 minutes.
I'm using a Corsair 550VX PSU. This was my first guess as to what it might think is over temp.
I didn't want to kill anything... so I shut down. Popped open the case (good ventilation etc. here). I put my hand on my HSF, and it was hardly even warm. I put my hand on the PSU, hardly even warm. The videocard was the warmest part in the whole case, by a good margin. NB/SB felt fine.
Core 1&2 are showing temp of 25C on idle, up to 41C when loaded (with my 3.2 OC). Cores 3&4 are about 2-3 degrees warmer.
RAM is 1.9V (within Spec for my G.Skill), and running @ 850 (rated for 800) @ 5-5-5-15. Though again, RAM wasn't really even warm to the touch.
So, I'm stumped. I'm sure that the put-your-hand-on-it-and-see-how-hot-it-is test isn't excatly scientific or definite, but I would've thought that it would've provided SOME insight on to what's going on? Does anyone know what temp this is supposed to be?
Just kind of curious, as I want to work on this OC (shooting for 3.6, so I can run 1:1 RAM and all that fun stuff!) and get it stable. But this high temp has be a bit concerned.
Edit:
My HSF is the Thermaltake Ultra 120 Extreme with a Scythe SFF21E fan pushing, and a very nearby 120mm thermaltake pulling (hardly enough room between HSF and exhaust fan to get my fat hand in there).
Also, case has pretty clean wiring and very nice airflow. No real stagnant spots or anything.
