guys please suggest me good cpu cooler for my i7 920 its really urgent. my idle temperature is exceeding 80c
There's something wrong if idle is hitting 80°C. If you're using the stock cooler make sure all the pushpins are correctly inserted.
what he said frio still 1 of the best coolers for 1366 platform ( air ) or an h60 corsair ( water ) £30 frio ( requires alot of clearence to fit ( full tower cases only really ) £55 for h60 ( can fit in any pc )
As everyone else is saying there something wrong if thats idle and it not OC. Mine 930 @ STOCK 2.8 at idle is 35-40 with a corsair H80, what are you using for the thermal read out maybe an error? I would make sure the cooler properly seated and maybe reapply some TIM. Even if you have a stock cooler should not see temp that high unless your ambient is like 100C....
I use a Thermalright Ultra Extreme with a gentle typhoon on it and my idle temps are always around 35-40. Ok so I am not running it overclocked at the mo but still, does the job for me. Only problem I have is that the fan overhangs the first memory slot so I am a little limited on upgrading until I change for a smaller/water cooler.
I use an aging corsair H50 with 2 x akasa apache blacks. My i7 is overvoltaed and clocked @ 3.8 and my idle temps are between 38-43.
80c I've used a T.R.U.E and the Corsair H70 and a the newer H80 and not even on prime 95 have any of my 17's hit those temps, Definitely something wrong there
You running the stock cooler? If so I wonder if one of the push pins are buggered, means there would be F*uck all mounting pressure on the cpu. If you have the money go for a Noctua NH-D14, just make sure you don't have tall ram. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/noct...er-with-2-x-fans-s1155-1156-2011-1366-775-am3 or there's the dark rock advanced http://www.scan.co.uk/products/be-q...5-1155-1156-1366-2011-am2-am2plus-am3-754-940 or if you just want to keep temps under control, and don't want to do any overclocking, but are on a really limited budget, there is the Artic Cooling Freezer 13 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/arct...el-775-1155-1156-1366-amd-939-am2-am2plus-am3
hmmm might be, either that or the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro http://www.scan.co.uk/products/arct...1156-1366-am3-am2plus-am2-939-up-to-130-watts I'd recommend that and the other one I've mentioned as I've not seen anything on the i30, But good suggestion chum
CPC did a review on it and it actually performed better than the Dark Rock Advanced Unfortunately though, it only supports 115, 1156 and 2011
