Thread: Finally back..

  1. #1

    Default Finally back..

    As the titel says, im back to boxing wow after almost a year of absence.

    The closer to Cataclysm the more itching in my fingers, so i built a new rigg 2 weeks ago and have now RAFed/granted 4 new sets of toons.

    I have never played Alliance so i figured i give that a go before they change the content and so on. (might move my old Hord chars to these accounts not sure)

    Im having a blast with this again, its like a new game in many ways.

    I have a question to you I7 users, what temp you usually have on the processor?
    Some posts i found with google are saying I7 have a higher temp and some says its not like that..
    Im usually seeing about 48-52C. (i have seen it up to 63C but added a second case fan)
    On my old AMD Phenom q4 i never was over 42C.
    Should i try find a better cooling solution? (have the standard block/fan) or is it nothing to worry about?

    Your temps are inline with what my coretemp shows. If I load test, it will run in the 60's but steady. When logging in 5 accounts with addons it will show low 50's then drop to the 40's. I use this heatsink as it blows on the north and south bridge as well.

    I wouldn't worry at all.

    When doing extreme OC'ing and doing torture tests I have pushed 90 degrees. Needless to say it only survives for about 5 minutes.
    I wouldn't say its perfectly-stable but I can OC to 3.8Ghz and keep a nice overall temperutre to 64 ish. My main problem is voltages not temperature.
