Hi
Ok my problem is I bought a Q9300 as a chirstmas present for myself after it went on sale last week. I put it in my 780i mobo and works great. My problem is the temps. I run nivida monitor (yes i know its garbage) and it tells me stock im at 50c! and under load im at 55 C! with a dangerden liquid cooling setup and tripple core rad dont think soo!! Anywayz I wanted to be safe and make sure nothing wrong with the chip. So downloaded realtemp coretemp and also checked temps off my bios. The room is at 72 degress btw and case is an antec 1200 pumping out enough air to cool a house. Heres a list of my temp read outs idle and under load
Bios 38C/42C
Realtemp 45C/50C
Coretemp 50C/53C
Nvidia 52C/60C
Wtf! everyone is different by 10C! Soo whatca one is right? I think bios since I know old e6750 sat at 38C and went to about 40 C.
I regreased the chip and repostioned the heatsink twice! also using artic silver compound. I know it cant be running hotter then 45C because gpus are only at 45 C under load and the cpu is cooled first. I dont know just really frustrating and dont want to have to check bios for accurate temps lol. I also wanna OC it and am kinda nerveous with all the wacky temp readings. Plz anyone help my out let me know. The chip is crazy fast and rock stable also, no stability issues what so ever.
