Is 44c hot for idle temp?

[suszterpatt]

Do a google search for the model number. 4 pages of hungarian sites (.hu) and one yugoslavian. Good luck though.

lol i did but without the model number. I will try again and tx.

This is after reseating it once. First I applied AS5 as per the site's instructions (rice grain amount on the middle) and my load temps were in the 49-54 range (more often above 50 °C than not). I seem to be getting a stable 47-48 °C by spreading a thick-ish layer of AS5 on the CPU's heatspreader and leaving the HSF's surface alone. I may try again with slightly less sticky stuff, but (un)installing the XP-90 makes the bones in my fingers go to places where they aren't meant to be.

my ambient temp is near 30C, and my idle is in the high 30's load is low/mid 40's, so your running hot for your ambient... i'v also got a winchester 3500. what kinda heatsink do you have? also break down and just get the xp120, i did. lol

lol I have the xp120 so I can relate my friend.

I'm at 40C under load on a 3700+ running at 2540.

 

[suszterpatt]

XP-120 is incompatible with my mobo. :



Anyway, the CPU temp is 53 °C right now, so I'll probably reseat it again.

*prepares fingers*

I idle at around 30C with stock HSF and thermal pad and I'm overclocked 550mhz on a 3200+ Winchester.

lower your case temp from 40(which i bet it is) to 30 and your idle temp will be 35
i guarantee it

Good point everyone is assuming that by ambiant they mean MB temp.
For my two cents if you see 50°C underload your to hot for me. even when I had a stock HSF my CPU never seen above 45°C at load.

 

[suszterpatt]

I don't think my case is that hot. Sensor 1 in MBM5 reports 10 °C so that's obviously broken, but sensor 3 reports something like 30-32 °C. The air that exhaust fan is pshing out isn't warm either.

Get the XP-90. It works great.

Looks like some you guys missed this bit.

How hard is it to remove the standard A64 mount on the motherboard for the HSF and replace it with the one that comes with the XP-90?

 

[dingnecros]

my venice 3200 oc'd to 2.6 GHz runs at 38C idle with 1.5 vcore. Under load max I have seen is 54C. I am using the Zalman CNPS-7700Cu

 

[Powermoloch]

Ifyour cpu is right under 57 C under load. Your going to be fine...nothing more though. It's pretty difficult to take out the standard HSF, but it's possible.
