Hello All,
This has been driving me mad. I've been reading around and i've come accross others with the same cooling system as the one i had just purchased and they are getting much cooler temps.
my rig is as follows:
case: cooler master sgc2000 w/ 3 120mm fans
i7-960 - stock speed
antec kuhler 620 - w/ antec formula 7 thermal compound
overclocked evga gtx460
right now im idling at the following :
core 0 : 37c
core 1 : 37c
core 2: 36c
core 3: 34c
(ive read others were getting temps in the lower 30's )
now with a stress test w/ prime95 with a duration of 10 min i get the following temps.
core 0 : 62
core 1 : 65
core 2: 59
core 3: 60
but one thing i did notice was that at around the 10 minute mark, all 4 temps seem to be hovering around 58-60.
call me immature, but i get a bit jealous hearing others with this same cooler not even breaking passed 45c.
the whole point of this cooler was to overclock. based on these reports, would i be able to safely overclock my pc ?
