Sam F Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Right, using Prime95 to stick it underload and i'm now on 896k test and there all averaging around 54C Edited November 11, 2009 by Sam F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Overclocked to 3.3ghz, averaging 34C.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Overclocked to 3.3ghz, averaging 34C..So what's the temperature at 100% load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's the only temp that really matters to be honest, you need to get it stable and fairly cool when it's been running at 100% for a couple of hours. (Some people say 8 hours, but when are you going to run it at 100% for 8 hours). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's the only temp that really matters to be honest, you need to get it stable and fairly cool when it's been running at 100% for a couple of hours. (Some people say 8 hours, but when are you going to run it at 100% for 8 hours).I normally use prime 95 for about 20 minutes to see its maximum temperature and go with that. It's only 8 hours to see if it's stable under a long duration without crashing or restarting not to get a high temperature reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Quick question, I just ran prime95 torture test for about 30mins. I have a Q6600 and the highest my core temps went to was about 75c, that sounds rather high to me, is it? My CPU was on 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That is a touch high but I wouldn't worry about it. I used to have a q6600 and mine was around that when under full load. Had it for a few years like that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Also I went into BIOS and it was Reading me 34C.Don't rely on the temps that show up in your BIOS.Download RealTemp to get accurate temperatures for each individual core.

PaRtZ Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 www.ebuyer.co.uk + knowledgable friend + £800 = my pretty damn decently specced desktopas you have more money, youd be able to go even more nuts Definitly another vote for the build it yourself option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam F Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm getting around 65-68's under full load at 3.3GHz, i'll leave it at that me thinks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Leaving a 920 at 3.3ghz is like most things. Pointless.4ghz or die trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 You'll have to seriously f**k up to manage to fry it. I've seen people get to 4.2ghz on air completely stable with that CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 And void his warranty? No need for silly overclocks, bet its quick stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thats really not silly, I haven't seen a single D0 stepping I7 that hasn't reached over 4ghz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
