Intel C2D E6750 Heating Problem

[aisiklilar]

I have brand new C2D E6750 with Scythe Ninja Plus Rev B on it (fan installed) My Mainboard is MSI P35 Platinum Rev1.1 Bios1.40 and I have 2x1GB OCZ Reaper 6400 HPC Ram.
When it is idle in vista my cpu is 40 to 50 degree celcius. And I can't operate Orthos for 1 min because it reaches over 80 degrees and my system shutdown itself.
What can be the problem?

try touching the heatsink during operation... is it really hot? if not then you have a faulty temperature sensor...

If it is really hot... why? are you overclocking at all? if not... did you put proper amounts and kind of thermal grease? is everything sitting properly and tight?

There could be a whole list of reasons for what you are experiencing...

I did what u have told and heat pipes below the ninja are definetly cold and I can feel the air coming from the fan (stock 120mm scythe fan + Iextrema pro 11db as a case fan 3cm away and directed to the ninja) but I saw 91 degree as a CPU temp.
Ps: No O/C

maybe the thing is not sitting properly... it should be WARM but not scalding or cold... What thermal paste did you use?

Sounds to me like you need to remove the heatsink clean the old thermal paste off. Re-apply new thermals paste and re-apply the heatsink making sure its properly mounted and firm.

I used Zalman ZM-STG1 Super Thermal Grease and and ninja looks tight It will be my last action that I try another cpu with my m.board in order to test temperature sensor.

You don't have your Ninja seated (attached) to the motherboard completely. Remove the motherboard from the case, leaving the Ninja attached, to you can see which feet aren't completely seated. All you have to do then is press extremely hard on that foot, while pressing with your hand from the opposite side. Note that laying the motherboard on a table will do you absolutely no good.

sorry but i'm foreigner and I didn't understand what u mean by saying "Note that laying the motherboard on a table will do you absolutely no good."

Okay, if you lay your motherboard on a flat surface, like a table, and try to install the heatsink, the pins (or feet) will not fully seat themselves (go as far as they are supposed to go). This will cause your cpu to overheat. You have to actually hold the board in one hand, while you press quite hard with the other hand on each pin (foot, as they are called), so it will completely seat.

You have to remove the motherboard from the case because 1) you need to be able to see with your eyes that each pin is completely through the motherboard and 2) there's a good chance you'll break your motherboard if it's in the case when you install the heatsink, because of the amount of pressure required to seat those damned little pins.

Dang. Yah for the first time I decided to try the Ninja Rev B. It's running with my q6600 GO on an Asus P5K-e. When I booted for the first time, I noted at stock speed in my Antec 182SE case, the temps were around 33'c under the new core temp. I found that kinda high and now after reading this thread, I am one of the fools that actually placed their board on a flat surface (had padding and plastic under it) and tried to install those damn pins.

When I oc'ed it to 3. Ghz (easiest ever oc I have ever did -- just changed 266 to 333 and away I went)... it then idles at around 43c per core (some are cooler). But when running Orthos for an hour it hits close to 60c.

Anyhow for the installation i found it a pain. When one pin went in the others would pop out. I honestly though the Ninja was going to be easier to install than my other HS/f which is a tunic Tower. I now think back to my other system (e6850) with the Tunic Tower and honestly, that thing just purrs and keeps that CPU way cooler. I know this new quad core "should" run hotter just due to having more cores but still.

Anyhow guess I will do what myocardia suggested -- pull it all out and see which of the pins is not installed correctly and then push while holding it in my hand to give the pins somewhere to go rather than just pushing them against the table surface... duhh.

On a side now what is the actual stock voltage for a G0 Q6600.. it's no longer 1.325v right? It's way lower than that? Also to stress all 4 cores, Orthos is no longer good so I guess I need to use TAT?

Thanks
