I7 3770k idle temps

[ahcongie]

Hi experts,

I have some question hope you guys are able to answer
My i7 3770k is running hot with my zalman cnps12x
Idle temps would be 38-40 but i notice my core 2 is much higher temp compare to the rest of the core? I try to resit my heatsink clean up and reapply still the same..
My stock clock now is 3.7ghz i disable my intergrated gpu from my processor .

Is the temp normal? Or can it better ?

 

[ahcongie]

Any guru able to help?

How much hotter is core 2?

 

[ahcongie]

About 8 degree? Use prime 95 to test also same is higher

yeah been wondering about it as well.
using h100 and it's been running hotter then my previous processors (but again ivy does run hotter)

just switched on and mine's on idle now.
notice the Core 2's temp...

 

[mr_voodoo]

update: ran prime 95, on load the difference between core 2 and the rest reduces to about 3-4
(Core 2 still's higher then the rest)

on idle : core 2 would be 7-9 hotter

guess it's how ivy works...

Try disabling HT in bios..

 

[ahcongie]

Haha i thought mine is faulty -.- ur h100 seems to be cooler them mine on idle alot..

 

[sapphiretrixx]

Its the delta temps that matter. Not the idle temps. A good cooler will be able to have a smaller delta.

Load can be 60C and idle can be 55C for all I care. But it's not possible luh because a cooler with that kind of cooling capacity would have a lower idle temp.

I looked through the net and found out that many ppl are having the same issue. Also happened to both 3770/3770K on my side.

It seems that that is the typical Ivybridge's behaviour, maybe it is due to the bad TIM Intel used for IVB instead of the fluxless solder used in SNB and previous procs.

 

[sapphiretrixx]

Tempted to pry open my CPU!

 

[ahcongie]

Will it void the warrenty ? If u open up the ihs?

 

[sapphiretrixx]

Yeah. Risk damaging the chip also.

But direct CPU die cooling is a lot better. Lol.

 

[ahcongie]

I don think i want to risk that lmao

Lol you make the h100 sound real bad.
Mine idle is 30ish, load 50++

 

[sapphiretrixx]

Lol. I haven't mounted my H100.

Still it all depends on silicon lottery. Hahaha.

hi just a update.

i reseat the heat sink again with the Line method applying of thermal paste.
i enable the vrop option and lower the core speed.

this is the result after did everything.
seems like ivy bridge is really hot .

 

[CRViper]

Yep frm the lousy bad TIM they used... Apparently some folks after prying open and replace the TIM, somehow some folks ended up with a temp worse off before they started. Guess really a 50-50 chance if u want to try lol

 

[fockyerdod3r]

idle for me is 28 to low 30's. load is low 50's


Im using H100 with its performance set to lowest.
