CPU Temps

[FlashDrive]

Maybe I should ' over clock ' this .... this has happened ( CPU Temp ) since I installed ' water cooling ' with Radiator .

My Computer is 9 years old now .... running a 1st Generation i72600k

I have not run a liquid cooling setup for ages but saw the same thing, more or less CPU a degree or two above the ambient, all day, every day.

I need to build myself an image processing PC sometime soonish, reckon water cooling will get the nod again for that one. I made the mistake of doing a mosaic process on my wifes machine (that I built for her a year or so ago, one step back from the bleeding edge of the time) and realised just how slow my current machine is, and I can't do big mosaics due to lack of memory for APP, and cant get big enough modules to make a memory upgrade worthwhile either, too old and 1.65V DDR3 is a bit of a dead duck.

Modern CPUs are quite power efficient when not doing much (most of the times) and do not generate much heat.

Try loading the CPU (run prime95 (https://www.mersenne.org/download/) for example) and see how high the temperatures go then.

OK .....I'll report back later with new temp figures ...!!

OK, Test Done .... Pic's show it all ...!!
I ran the p95 Software for 1/2 hour


The 3rd pic is CPU Temp under stress test ... reached 57* C
Last pic is CPU after test .... back down to 28* C


Computer ' hummed ' away nicely during test .... no BSD or Freezing Up .... Water Cooler Radiator didn't ' boil ' :lol:


All's well ....!!

Those are some good numbers.
Plenty of overhead, if you decide to try overclocking :-)

You have a bit of overhead left and water cooling wont be an issue but check what the throttling temp is for that chip , i am guessing around 70-80c newer chips cope a little better . I have been running water cooling for a few years and it really is great and quiet , my new machine really can put out some heat OC with 8/16 cores but only hits 65 tops under full load.

I ran another test ....

1st pic is Idle Temp .... highest @ 28*C ( 4 Core CPU )

2n pic is Stress Test

3rd pic is CPU Temp under stress ... highest being 64*C

4th pic shows Thermal Stability during stress test.

5th pic is CPU Temp back at idle .... highest being 33*C

6th pic .... put the CPU up to run @4GHz

If you want a ' small ' programme to find out the ' real temp ' of your CPU ....it doesn't need installing , it's ' self running '

I put my CPU up to 4GHz for about 1hr ..... ran like a ' Swiss Watch '
