I7 920 @3.60Ghz

[Mike_2011]

Ok Guys I need some help I have the i7 920 with a V10 Cooler the CPU is at 3.60Ghz Voltage is at 1.25 and I live in the Caribbean so temps are hot. The Processor Thermal Margin in the bios is 55C is that high?


Anyway I can Raise Fan speeds in the V10 in the Bios I have the Intel DX58SO MB I am getting the P6T Deluxe V2 in 2 weeks.

Are the temps at idle or load? If at load they're fine if at idle then you got something wrong.

 

[Mike_2011]

Yep there at idle dont know why they are so high V10 is only at 800RPM anyway to raise the RPM of the fans?

 

[Mike_2011]

Should I put in the stock cooler and return the V10?

 

[Mike_2011]

OK So I put in back the stock Cooler from Intel I am getting 40C Idle is that normal?

 

[almightycuba]

yes that's fine for idle but you should check the temps at full load

 

[ehanger]

Yeah 40C is normal for the stock cooler.

I also had my 920 @ 3.5ghz and with zalman 9500 and in a Antec skeleton open air case with 250mm fan blowing down on everything was still getting between 40c idle and 90+c at full load under prime95, so I went with a Swiftech water cooling system and now I'm running 32c idle and 60c at full load and passing Prime95 with no issues. also noted that in game temps stay around 40-45c for hours of gaming as due my 2 9800GT's in SLI with Zalman coolers thats at ultra settings with AA in Crysis,FarCry2,Fallout 3, etc. the only thing in my system that makes heat is my power supply which is also a Zalman 750w heatpipe edition.
