EDIT: I replaced the fan with the NH-D15. Switched CPU voltage back to Auto (1.234v). Currently encoding a 1hr 1080p video file; the temps are now a consistent 66±5C @ 80-95% CPU load, core voltage sits around 1.360v (according to CPU-Z). Definitely seems like 'auto' feeds too many volts imo, but the temps seem good and I'm fine with it. I get the feeling it should be 5-10C lower under load on average - but it's a slightly warm day (32C) as I test this.
---
So I noticed that whenever I'm recording gameplay, or encoding video footage, the temps would shoot up to 90-100C and performance would become extremely sluggish. Tried reapplying thermal paste, but observed no change. Tried disabling the "Turbo mode" in BIOS, but no change.
CPU voltage was originally set to auto, and displayed 1.234v (94-100C temps @ 70-90% CPU load)
lowered it to manual 1.125v, which would yield (60-80C temps @ 70-90% CPU load), good enough... but then PC would restart itself within 5-15 minutes under load.
Currently using 1.175v, which is giving (75-93C @ 78-95% CPU load), mostly jumps between 73-88C. A bit too high for my liking, but at least it's neither shutting down nor sitting in the 93-98C range. The VID fluctuates between 1.2716v and 1.3477v under load.
I'm not sure how I should configure it. CPU also says 4000MHz in the bios, but shows as 4218 - core temp / CPU-Z: http://i.imgur.com/hx1RfJg.jpg
I'm using:
- ASUS VIII Ranger Mobo
- 1500W Silverstone strider PSU
- Silverstone NT07-115X CPU fan
- Silverstone Raven 4 PC case -> http://media.bestofmicro.com/silverstone-raven-4,W-6-340710-13.jpg
(Damn, I didn't realize how much of a hard-on I had for Silverstone, lol).
I'd appreciate any help, I'm not all that accustomed to messing around in the BIOS. I'd prefer to underclock slightly if gives a noticable drop in temps.
