Hey guys, i got my 2600k at 1.445 volts, and during folding, my rig hits about 72C. Is this normal? I have 2 360rads, 1 mcp35x pump, and a 6990 in the loop also. I know many of you will say 1.445 is high, but i cant seem to keep it stable any lower. If any of you have ideas how to get my vcore lower by adjusting other settings, be my guest and tell me

thanks

Re mount the block? What tim are you using?

 

[thrgk]

artic silver tim, also, i have remounted 4 times trying to get the best temps.

 

[thrgk]

are these temps high for my voltage?

 

[Sean Webster]

You can switch to another tim like IC Diamoind, MX-4, or shin etsu and that will lower temps like 2-3C.

Other than that maybe different fans/orientation.

im using 3 xigmatik orange led for my rs360, and 2 coolmaster 1850rpm for my swiftech 360, are they ok or ?

 

[Sean Webster]

Yes, that is good.

I think the temps are ~normal.

I'm not sure on how much heat the 6990 makes at full load though.

 

[thrgk]

so it is normal? k just wanted to make sure, ambients in my house are 70f

 

[Sean Webster]

Yea, depending on the rpm the fans are running at on those rs 360's I would say its normal.

 

[thrgk]

would upgrading to rx360 help, and if so how much?

Yes, but your temps are fine atm. You may see atleast a 5C drop or so upgrading both you rads to the RX versions. And you will be able to run the fans at lower RPM. Also the waterblock, the XPSC Raystorm is out. It is a little better as well.

 

[thrgk]

how much better is the raystorm? And, what fans other then the GT's are best for rx360, at full speed, i dont mind fans at full speed hehe. Even if many do, i watch tv right next to my comp.

The GT's are good, no need to look anywhere else lol
