Haswell temperature

[tensaixp]

I read that haswell is quite hot, but just wanted some assurance. Just build a haswell rig, and bios temp of cpu is 50 odd degrees. Is it ok?

Download real temp. Bios reading is way off.

ok, what will the healthy range be on idle and load? I'm not at that pc now, will check later.

With stock Intel it should be 43-47

yeah... set up a Intel i5-4570 with MSI Z87-G45 for my brother yesterday. Shock to see that 50-53C in the BIOS. Keep pushing the stock HSF, thought it was not installed properly.

On idle with cm 212-x (see my rig) temp around 34 to 36, non air-con room

how much is it? will ask my brother to change the stock HSF then.

Using the Xigmatek Gaia Heatsink. On idle lowest temp around 33-36

Applied arctic silver thermal paste.

$35

 

[wuweiz]

Yah. Follow roy. Use xigmatec Gaia good enough. Cm one is $60+. Lol. I use their thermal paste though.

 

[tensaixp]

yeah, i agree. the xigmatek gaia is more value for money. Installation process can be a bit tedious and confusing though, but fixable.

Installation ok lah~

Is the Fan mounted to the Heatsink. For sure get confused lol.

The rubber studs that holds the fan and the Heatsink fins took me some time to think how they mount it.

Found out that the rubber studs has a slit hole that slides thru the fin.

Here's my idle temp..

haha, for me is setting up the base mount, they have like a number of different ways to setup for different socket types. Instructions seemed quite ambiguous to me.

My temperature.

 

[Xest]

My temperature.

thanks for sharing. air-cond or non-aircond room?

Non aircon.

Nice temp!

Here's my idle temp..

Nice temp!

Our Skyboy here expert in delidding those chips

I am using H60 however, think around 32-45 degree on idle.
Used MSI intel tuning utility to check, can someone advise if it is as accurate as the Real Temp?

 

[MacClipper]

As long as the idle temps are not too high (usually due to poorly mounted HSF), there's no point in comparing whter they are 30C or 40C cos CPU DTS are not calibrated for idle temp feedback.

Anyway, some CPU have stuck DTS which will not go below a certain level.

Overall, load temps are more impt and meaningful cos the CPU DTS is calibrated according to the distance from throttle temps for thermal protection.

Delidding is good, and load temp will improved tremendously. Idle temp not much difference, maybe by just few degrees at idle...because no load.

Moreover, in my case, I found out my Vcore reduced further from 1.25 to 1.21Vcore for Haswell, Ivy another chip also 1.18Vcore, reduce to 1.16Vcore.
Not all chips are the same, and include your set-up.
