i5 750 cooling STOCK

Murney · 14 Feb 2014 at 18:53

Last night my pc shut down a couple of times while converting xvid to DVD.
I installed HWMonitor and noticed all 4 cores when encoding are hitting around 94c. Idle temps are roughly 36c.

I've checked to see if the heatsink is seated correctly and it's fine.

Can anyone else shed and light on this ?

If you have checked its seated correctly are you sure the fan is connected and working?

Murney · 14 Feb 2014 at 22:15

Yes the fans connected and working.

Your pc shouldn't shut down if the cores reach that high a temp. What should happen is that your cpu throttles to lower load and temps.

Are you running with all power saving settings enabled in bios?

And when you say stock do you mean the cpu is at stock or stock cooling?

Cpu and cooler are both stock. I will check the bios for power saving settings.

I may buy a new heatsink but wouldnt want to spend anymore than £20 are there any Good ones in this price range?

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7
Akasa Venom Pico Compact

First one is good, not used the second but other Akasa Venom's are rated well. The Deepcool ones are meant to be alright I think but don't really know much more.

get some decent paste aswell while your at it

it shouldn't get that hot with stock clocks/cooler mid60's at the most

Murney · 15 Feb 2014 at 19:37

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 comes Pre-applied with ARCTIC MX-2, is this good enough ?

Strange how idle temps are normal yet with high cpu usage is goes through the roof.

wazza300 · 15 Feb 2014 at 19:39

yeah mx2 is fine,and idle temps are down to power saving,the intel coolers are crap anyway,the pushpins don't clamp the heatsink down on the cpu verywell over time,depends how often its been removed/attached ect

Never been removed apart from yesterday in which it was clamped down ok anyway. I hear the stock cooler is shocking anyway so I will just get the Arctic Freezer 7 and go from there.

I had an i5 760 and cooled it with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2.

It did a great job with the processor at stock and even allowed overclocking.

Was able to go upto 4.0Ghz with it for bench runs but it wasn't able to sustain decent temps at this speed.

3.3-3.4Ghz at stock volts though and it was fine.

If you can increase your budget to £30-£35 you will get a far better choice and quality of cooler though.

Ran Prime95 for around 10/15 mins max temps hitting 56-59 now.

Will look to overclock at the weekend to around 3.3-3.4ghz like you suggested.

Can you point me to any threads to help me with this ?

wazza300 · 18 Feb 2014 at 20:41

what board are you using?

idk the max multi of that chip either

Murney · 18 Feb 2014 at 20:55

GA-H55M-UD2H

8gb corsair ddr3

wazza300 · 18 Feb 2014 at 20:59

is the max cpu multi 20x? thinkso

for 3.4ghz

20x170 bclk
8x mem multi = 1360mhz ram speed
set cpu voltage to normal,enable all power saving
set dram v according to your memory
maybe try a negative dvid to undervolt the cpu? depends on stability but could try -0.0100v

I have an I5 750 @ 3.9.
The temps at idle are @42 rising to high 60's when gaming.
I use a Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler which is currently out of stock however I paid £27 from Oc 2 years ago.

DarkHorizon472 · 28 Feb 2014 at 19:53

I5-760 @ 3.5 and it maxes out at 60c playing BF4 using the arctic freezer 7 pro rev 2. Memory runs at 1333.

ShivP · 28 Feb 2014 at 20:09

Bit different but got a 4670k @ 4.0ghz no problems on a freezer pro 7 rev 2 here.

flinco · 1 Mar 2014 at 13:26

i5 750 @ 4.1 using a Gelid Tranquillo. Reaches about 88c Max on a 64 player BF4 server.

As long as you keep it below around 90c you should be fine, the heat doesn't cause any problems until you reach 93c where it will start throttling.
