2400xp on a stock HS+F = 45-48 mid load.

[Finnkc]

I just installed the stock HS+F on my 2400xp the other day. I had a TT Vol. 11 HS and Panaflo med fan on it before but I got a new Barton 2500xp M and put the Vol 11 on it.

However after booting up the PC and running it for about 2hrs the temps on the CPU hit 47C with about 25% load....

47c I was thinking man that is high for a no OCd 2400xp ... the TT Vol 11 HS had it running 35c at 80% load do the stock HS really suck that much?

stock heatsinks do run hot , my last use of one my temps were mid 50s at idle with the stock tims



yuck

Stock cooling runs pretty hot. I have my 1833MHz Tbred @ 62C at full load with it, and I live near the Equator with ambient temps of 30C all year long.

I have a XP-M 2400 that i have oced to 2.4 ghz at 1.75 volts on watercooling, now i am on the third floor and it does get hot up here in the summer, but do you think that 43C is high for the temp because i am on Watercooling? its a maze3 setup

Thank you

finnkc: that is pretty hot, even for a stock heatsink, since it should be only running at 1.45v

i remember my palomino on the stock heatsink used to be around that range, but stock for that guy is 1.75v

did u apply the thermal interface material correctly? is the heatsink seated badly? what is ur case temp? room temp? what did it run with the tt vol 11? what voltage is it set to in bios? default may not be 1.45v, as it is 1.525v or something in my nf7-s

shelaby: 43c on full load is decent, but not excellent on water, but thats probably cuz you said its on the third floor and it was hot. water/air can only get as cool as ambient, maybe less if u got a fan with a large cfm blowing on it and good exhaust fans and airflow in your case.

i have an sp97 and a vantec tornado, which is the strongest 92mm fan that i know of (on a fan controller thank god) and at night when its cool on full load and full blast, it never goes past 39C at 2.6ghz 2.03v (1.97 actual) and during the day with same settings it never goes past 44C

of course i never have it at 2.6 for regular stuff, i usually have it at a comfortable 3k rpm and 2.4 ghz at 1.725v with like mid 30s idle and still sub 40s load. during the daytime when its hot it'd be like 42-43 load like yours

First of all, this is like saying "my car's coolant temperature is at 185°F, is that good?" and having people start chiming in with their coolant temperatures without asking what car it is The same CPU, heatsink and fan can get 42C on one board and 68C on the other. Is the CPU temperature any different in reality? No. But the mobos are calibrated differently. Not only that, there are two types of 2400+ (three if you count mobile). Apples, oranges, pears... yeah

That said, I can't think of any mobo where that reading would be a cause for concern. The coolest-reading boards I can think of are the A7N266-VM/AA's and they would show something like 45C or thereabouts (got about 36 of those at work, not all with 2400+ though). I suggest you go with it and don't be concerned. Blow the dust bunnies out of it every 3-6 months

Don't worry till it hits 90C. In fact I can tell you what most of my machines temps are because I don't care other than setting bios shut down for 90C.
