This means that they run hot even under the best of circumstances. The 960s have a 130 watt TDP, which is the maximum Intel usually allows. My only other suggestion is to check and see that the overclock isn't too high. If it does there is a problem with the fan header you were using, and the best way to fix that (barring just using a different header) is an RMA if the board is still under warranty. Try the cooler on a direct power connection from the PSU, and see if that lowers the temperature. Burnt out heatsink fans, or inactive pumps in the case of water coolers, can prevent heat dissipation. If you cranked down one screw first, and wedged the heatsink, you'll get very poor cooling.Īssuming that you thought those solutions insulting, I would look at your fan header. Not everyone understands that it is there for a reason.ģ) Are all of the screws tightened properly? Again, the heatsink needs to make a large contact surface possible. Temperatures soared, and that was the reason.Ģ) Did you apply thermal paste? The metal to metal interface is far from ideal, but some newcomers occasionally "clean" the heatsink of thermal paste. This may be a stupid start, but I have to ask the following:ġ) Do you have a barrier between the cooler and the CPU? I've seen people leave the plastic protector (a thin film) in place, and apply thermal paste. but i need it to work on some heavy load progarm, sometime it will go around 80 c if the work load is very heavy, thus the cpu is 100 load almost all the time.

#How to see northbridge temp on mac pro 5.1 full#
BF3, Batman2, etc) at full setting ok, temp never go over 65c. Now, I just installed a new APSALUS2-90 water cool build by asetek model 545L, my temp is still high for OCCT around 80 c in 5 mins. I checked the stock fan and re applied the sliver paste, same result, 80 c in 3 or 4 mins. Note that mem86+ can pass for 10 times with no errors for memory. i7 can go up to 80 c in 3 mins, I wonder is that because i set the ram speed to 1600? since i7 only support ddr3 800 or 1066, but the gigabyte x58 support up to 1866. I saw many people use OCCT to stress test the system, so it is my first time running it. My system was build last year, i7 960 stock speed stock fan, on gigabyte x58, it used to have only 12gb of ram, I just upgraded the ram this year to 24gb with all same 1600 4gb patriot memory.
