![]() ![]() At 100% load with both Intel GPU and my NVIDIA 1050 running I'm crunching at 45-55 C. The cabinet the case was in had an ambient temperature of about 23 C (80-85 F). The end result? I went from an idle temperature of 52 C on core's 0-4 with a max temp of 105 C hitting the upper limit for the processor when running at 100%. I just never knew the screens were there as they were preinstalled with the case. So that's why my temps were so high - I had zero airflow. What I found was the fans were all old, but my real problem was that each of the fans had a dust screen in place which were all completely clogged with 1/8" of dust. The install necessitated completely removing all of the internal hardware, so I was able to clean everything. I drilled a 3/8" hole and inserted a grommet to keep the wire from chaffing (I ordered a whole kit off JEGS Racing which is perfect for this sort of thing and has plugs for if I ever eliminate the hole). The solution was to mount the fan on the outside of the case and the radiator on the inside. I had to do some modifications to the Lian Li micro-ATX case to fit the radiator and radiator fan which I mounted where the 140 mm top case fan was. I also substituted the stock intel cooler with the H55. I replaced the two front 120 mm fans and the 140 mm top case fan. I'll check back in to let you all know how this turns out.Īlright, the upgrades are in. ) It's been a busy holiday season!!Īll in I'm out over $200 on upgrades as it is so I don't think I'll be replacing the case on this iteration, but when I build my next computer I'll use at least a mid-tower. Not that it adds to this discussion but to the wife's dismay, the addition of the card necessitated removal of the WIFI card in the PCI-E slot.which "forced" cutting the drywall to add a CAT 6A home run to the smart panel downstairs. The new GPU is also adding to temp woes I never intended for this system to even have a dedicated graphics card, but I plopped a GTX 1050 OC WF into it once I got back into crunching. I had to downsize the 140mm top-case fan to a 120mm get a maximum width of 60mm for radiator + fan on the rear of the case (I couldn't use the top of the case, because the MB connectors and capacitors look like they would be in the way). The case I'm using is a Lian-Li Micro-ATX. It's an entry level unit but with the sale + $10 rebate Newegg was offering I picked it up for just under $40. I ordered some new case fans and a Corsair H55. Speedfan looks at all coolers in my case, to combine maximum airflow through the case with as little noise as possible. I have an i5-2500K with an entry point water cooling solution ( Cooler Master Seidon 120v) which in combination with Speedfan keeps my CPU under load at a max of 54C with fans at 90% maximum (it tends to be noisy when at 100%). Seeing you run at 72C, I think you do have an aftermarket cooler, as stock tends to run at 95C, but correct me if I am wrong. What kind of cooling do you use? Any aftermarket cooler, or the stock cooler the CPU came with?Īftermarket coolers tend to cool better, especially if you changed the cooling paste as well. That not all cores show the same temperature is normal as well. And they are well withing the maximum limit of 105C. So these tend to be showing hotter than the 'normal' temperature. The core temperatures are measured at the bottom of the core dies. The CPU temp you see is measured at the top of the CPU, underneath the heat sink. The temperatures measured by Speedfan are 'diluted'. ![]() (That's the max for most all i5 CPUs, even when it doesn't say it specifically at the Intel site anymore) First off, the TCase temperature you point out is according to Intel: TCase: Case Temperature is the maximum temperature allowed at the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
