Just started into testing my new setup and I think the TIM is wrong. I'm getting 1 core just over 80 @4.8ghz 1.4vcore. The rest stay under the 80 mark. Others are posting lower temps for the 212 and IBT, and I certainly didn't do my TIM like that previous link. If I have any room for improvement thru reapplying, I should be able to hit 5ghz.
Other people are worried about high temps, I used to never run my C2D over 65, but it has a lower tjmax too. I figured 10c for breathing room, gives me 75 at most, which is 10c below the max of 85c for C2D, at the hardest it will ever be pushed. So if the tjmax is now ~100 for 2500k then you can presumably go to at least 85 and still be the same distance away from tjmax. So no worries.
I'm gonna reapply the TIM and see what happens. It's Antec Formula 5 (sounds familiar) some generic crap I got at the local Staples just cuz I needed some
Any1 know if it's good? I'll post back with temps.
