I just replaced my CPU from the OEM processor to the i5-4570t which is also offered by Lenovo as an option on this machine.

I just stared running a burn in because I was told it was a good idea. Both CPUs have same TPD
and the new one has a max temp .5 lower. How long should I run the burn in?

I noticed the CPU temp getting hot after I started it. IT hit 61 before it started to drop. I know this is high but still below specs max. Is it because the thermal grease has not cured yet, will this change later? Should I go into BIOS and disable the turbo boost? I thought the boost is supposed to maintain the temp. Core O seems to run a few degrees higher than core 1.

Thanks
 
Solution
61 is decent for a burn in test, leave it a few more minutes and continue to monitor temperatures after the test and on a daily basis use. if idle temps settle at 30-40 with load temps 10-20 over that everything is good.



I did that and it dropped back down when I ended it. I then launched titanfall and started back up almost to 70 and stayed there. Is this a problem. Do I need to wait for the thermal grease to set. Tried to use speed fan but iit does not detect my fan. Maybe I should disable boost? Would that help or just give it time?

Thanks
 



Using Artic Silver, applied properly. It is an all in one PC airflow is decent. Just ran a short Intel stress test. Avg 62 peak 68, This seems decent. Is there a significant difference between core temp and Tcase?
