I had removed the ihs from my fx-57 and didnt want to mod the prommy mount to use it with a hatless processor. so last night i reinstalled the ihs on my processor. i used a stock heatsink to hold it in place while it dried and put AS Ceramique (sp) between the core and ihs. i thought i had a good install but now im not so sure. I have another fx-57 on the way with the hat still on.
the system cools down to -33 and powers on my system i currently have it running stable at 3380mhz but the strange thing is that when there is no load on the processor my temps (reported from bios, i have no other way to monitor cpu temps) are between +6 and +11 but as soon as i put a load on the processor (100% useage) the temps start to drop down to between -2 and +2c. if im running 3dmark 06 for a long time the evaporator temps start off at -41c and VERY slowly drop down to somewhere around -30c(this is with the fan running in turbo mode ). at the end of a 3dmark 06 run my cpu temps are around 0 to +2c. Is any of this normal for a Prommy Mach II? my temps should be lower right? Even if i never get it working better than this its still pretty cool. There are just so many things that could go wrong im wondering what will break first, did i get the mount sealed, is the flex hose gona hold up... a million other things i could have screwed up. I was hoping for lower temps and faster clock rates but the damn thing works and im amazed maybe over time ill actually get good at this.. will post pics tomorrow its 4am here and im gona crash.
