I have a titan and its one of the worst sinks I have used despite all the reviews. had it on 1366, 1056 and a 75 system and it performed awful on all of them :/ Id swap it out, corsair do some decent cheap coolers as do coolermaster.
Bit harsh, its doing the job, all temps in spec, no danger or concern. No need to throw £30 in the bin.
In all fairness he didn't say to throw it away, just swap it out. I think I'm going to need to do this if I want to have any chance of overclocking. I'd like to try my mugen 2 but can't seem to find anywhere to buy the 1156 conversion kit. Theres no chance of the Fenrir actually getting binned it will just be passed down into my daughters pc as all my old kit gets handed down, she is already destined to take ownership of my MSI 790FX GD70, 955BE and 4gb DDR3
Haven't had a chance to re seat the fenrir but I did do a couple of screenies. Idle Load Voltage underload seems quite high for stock, I thought people were using not much more voltage than that for 4+ghz overclocks? No heating on the house at the moment and it's quite cold, I don't actually have any way of measuring the ambient temps unfortunately.
Voltage is high because its on auto and speedstep is bumping it quite high. In reality you would be able to achieve 4ghz + with that voltage (if you manually fixed it) Try fixing it at 1.32v and upping the multi to 43, leaving speed step enabled. You might find you have the oc headroom afterall. Does your gpu exhaust into case? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
It does indeed yes, 560TI twin frozer II. Can I set the max volts and still have speedstep running and is the cpu voltage labelled as such? Sorry first ever Intel Chip.
yeah sandy chips are quite happy to leave speedstep enabled. Older intel ones not so much. Set the voltage manually to 1.32v ish, and change the multi to 43. Dont change baseclock. If its unstable you might need to bump the vccio a littkr. Theres a useful guide somewhere that il find this evening when im not on my phone.
