Q9550 and Scythe Ninja in love

[boglwe]

I have a new Q9550 and a Scythe Ninja. The temps run semi idle at about 38c. Full load at about 47c. BUT...here is the odd thing... My scythe Ninja is not hot at all, I mean, its actually cool. Even the copper pipes near the processor is semi cool as well. I can feel a little heat but not a lot. I am curious if I did not seat this well. I have put on tons of aftermarket coolers, and the temps are way down, just seems there is no heat on this processor. AM I correct to believe that My system is running very well but will soon be OCing, is there anyone else who has experience with this? This...being the cooler Scythe Ninja on top of the Q9550.

The heatpipes on my S1283 are cold to the touch, even under full load

Are you reading the CPUTIN from the motherboard or the actual on-die temp sensor?

Hoping to get my Q9550 at 3.6 and stable. Great temps. What settings are you using (vcore etc...)? Also is yours a C1 or an E0?

 

[boglwe]

Mine is EO, here is my current OC with this. PICTURE Is EO better? whats newer?

 

[KingstonU]

EO is newer and overclocks better.

What are your bios settings for your OC btw?
