Hello everyone! Ok so the ambient temperature in my room is around 22-23°C, my 955 at 1.4v ldles at 38°C and loads at over 50°C. Obviously I shouldn't be getting such bad temps since my case has really good airflow. Ive tried reseating the h50, replacing tim, using different fans in push/pull (zalman zm f3, silverstone air penetrators, xigmatek). Nothing. Before anyone asks yes the pump is running at 1400rpm.
tl;dr I was wondering if my high idle/load temps have something with the way I cleaned the copper base on my H50. I used a kind of alcohol thing that contains perchlorethylene and amyl acetate.

Can anyone help me? Please!

Well you could restore your stock settings and see what temps you have then also I always clean my cpu with nail polisher. Haven't had any problems with it.

over 50c is decent temps expecially for AMD.. Its fine.

IS your pump running at full speed?

 

[jaded]

im running exactly 38c idle on my 955 right now and 53-55 loads also

 

[ryman546]

how far over 50 degrees?

seems about right for that proc.

 

[nolimits882000]

Yeah, if you're at 1.4V, that's about the temps you should be getting. Had a 955 at 1.39V and it would load at around 52 or so.

Wow that's bull, I thought the h50 was supposed to be better than most air coolers. after about 10mins i reach 53°C. around 54°C my proc starts throttling (ie downclocking to 800mhz to reduce temps)

 

[nolimits882000]

Mine didn't even throttle when I hit 60 C on it before... Don't know why yours already is.

 

[imadude10]

It not supposed to beat other high end air coolers, it is supposed to match them with less noise. And you processor should not start throttling until mid 60's if not higher.

BTW your idle will never be as good as an air cooler, something about the liquid or something. but load temps should be similar.

 

[Giac]

I realised that idle temps would be higher. but its just not normal to have such high temps when my ambient is 22°C. Also I'm not sure as to why it throttles so soon. It could be because of my vrappy motherboard..or it could be my cpu dying?

Turn off CnQ and C1E stuff.

that was the first thing i did lol

Its really not the coolers fault that you throttle so quickly, as its still in the temperature range for normal operation. It might be down to your motherboard at this point.

Whats wrong with 50c load?

Yes I was thinking the same thing. I used to have a 790x board and my 955 only started throttling at 56°C or so (still not very normal).

 

[ph4tandy]

Those temperatures are perfectly normal. What your problem is that you're expecting too much out of your cooler. If you want lower temps, either underclock your chip or get better cooling.

Warning rant: What I can't seem to understand is how many of these "H50 bad temps" threads there are when in reality their temps are normal. What their problem is trying to compare a $70~ closed loop with a $300+ open loop. And this would be you.

have you ever owned an amd cpu? 50°C is like death's door.

 

[nolimits882000]

Death's door would be 62 C actually. lol around there is when you should be worried. 50 C is an awesome temp for AMD, especially overclocked.

The problem with yours is it doesn't handle throttling correctly.

50c is quite good for load?
