2500k temps

[mcnumpty23]

my temps are 72 under load, running at 4,4GHz @ 1.5V

Cooler: Prolima Megahalems

if you have a 2500k or 2600k-- 1.5v for 4.4ghz is far too high

should only need about 1.3v or so for 4.4ghz

i can get 5ghz with 1.4v and wouldnt even think of putting 1.5v through my 2600k

+1 1.5 being too much, thats dangerous territory you are in sir

This is interesting. I disabled turbo mode in bios (previously up to 3.7Ghz on all 4 cores - now 3.4Ghz on all cores) and temps have dropped to 58C when running prime95.

Hi. As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, you may want to go with a cooler with a 120mm fan. I don't think that thing is quite enough under load with the 92mm fan.

Your temps are normal for a stock cooler. Your idle temp is usually around 10c hotter then your ambient and with a stock cooler high 60's low 70's is average temp for those coolers. Also 72.6c is not the max for the core temps its the max internal temp for your processors. Tcase max temp is 72.6c and Tjmax which is the temps you read out of a Hardware monitor ( temp monitor ) program and the tjmax for a 2500k is 99c. As for temps above 72 you can get up into the low 80's and still not harm your cpu all though i wouldn't want to run at those temps for along time but thermal throttling of your cpu doesn't start till the 90c's anyway. but as a good rule of thumb it is nice to have your CPU running 70 or under at all times for full load. As mentioned above if you want to add a cheap aftermarker cooler the CM212 evo is a great option. Will allow for a moderate OC and still keep your cpu at a decent temp.Hope this helped.

I'm using a Gelid Tranquillo and it seems to do a pretty good job of keeping temps down. I am running a 2600k OC'd to 4.4 Ghz.

I'm running HWMonitor and it show CPUTIN temps of 80C. What is this, should I be worried??

HWmon does not always identify sensors right(or more to the point, MB makers dont all use the same inputs even if they use the same sensors).

If this CPUTIN stays at 80 all the time, it is not accurate at all. A cpu temperature should vary with load.

My CPUTIN(H55N USB3) sometimes shows 89c, but it is just a bug(my current board is show 124c).

If you have no plans to overclock, and you want some lower temps, it may be worth looking into undervolting the cpu. This can lead to less power use and lower temperatures. Just take it down a bit and test. Every cpu is different, so not all undervolt the same.

AUXTIN1 is my MB cpu temp

2600k @ 4.4 with CNPS 10X Flex and nf-p12 fan. 2 120mm fans(NF-S12B FLX). I am almost going on the bigger cooler + low fan speed almost offsets your smaller cooler and lower clocks. I think you may be considered running hot, but not to the point of cpu damage(depending on the thermal paste you used, you may be able to get 1-2c better results with that, or a CoolerMaster 212+ would work some wonders if you are worried).
