sorry, man, for what happened to your case and motherboard....i hate that when it happens to me!;)
oh yeah, my wife said the same thing back years ago...i just looked at her and shook my head...LOL:rofl: :ROTF:

the PWM temp dropped about 8-10C, approximately; maybe more....i just know it dropped significantly that i had to share the mod with everyone else.
i'm not sure about MX-1 paste but i know AS5 paste under heavy pressure can be conductive so that is why i used ceramique.
the Pro board with the heatpipe mod and at least two 40mm fans added will bring your PWM temperature down to a comfortable value....in my computer case, maybe no higher than 60-63C priming all four cores..but..each computer case is different on evacuating hot air...in addition, room temp will also impact the temperature inside the case.:)
what is your room temp?...are you AC'ing your room?
Anyone have this happen? I took my system down and reseated the hs with MX-2 and added 2 Antec TriCools instead of 1 San Ace. I also added a 40mm fan on top of the PMW hs. Rebooted and got a bios error that cpu had changed. Reset all my settings and it wouldn't post. Rechecked bios and I noticed that I if I now use the default ram multiplier @ 8x400 it says I am @ DDR1200. Also when in uGuru the PMW Max temp went from it's original 80c to 125c. uGuru is showing all my temps what they were before but things are just way more twitchy than they were. What do you think might have happened?
my pad was brown...it probably comes down to cost of the pad at the time they are manufacturing the boards.
is the temp, 53C, that you quote, outside of the case?Quote:
It made even contact however I replaced it with AC MX-1 on each chip. It seems to make solid contact and is tight even though I am still using the original pins and despite the paste being much thinner than the pad. PWM temps maxed out at 53c in my testing today, maybe a few degrees hotter on a hot day but nothing near the 90+ degrees that I am seeing on here.
welcome to the world of INTEL!:up:Quote:
On a side note, you just have to love the effortless overclocking on these chips...my 3700+ San Diego really didn't like me and was so touchy to the smallest increases. This little E6550 is taking a near 1Ghz overclock without a single bump in voltage and loving it. Its even stable with EIST and C1E enabled and doesn't crash when the volts come down at idle....
I can't seem to get 3.3GHz to work, could you guys have a look at my settings and see if you would change anything?

PWM tops out at 61C, CPU at 53C and System 38C.
I realize I could always use more vcore, but the PWM temp is really too high for my liking already :x
Finally got ATTO.
Raid 0 (2x 7200.10) with volume write back cache:

Man going back to an AB9 after running the IP35 Pro is painful, I guess I should count my blessings I even had a spare board laying around but dang I cant even get this Quad stabole at 3.2ghz with this AB9.
i heard someone else complain about a bios error after reseating their hs down....and....it was said that maybe he clamped or torqued the heatsink to tight.
the only other thing to do is power off...unplug the board ATX power to the mobo and cpu, clear CMOS and remove the battery...maybe a few minutes the most....you can also try removing the memory while clearing cmos.
put everything back together and fire it up to see if you get the same results.
This is my Raid 0 array: 2x 7200.10

This is the same array with volume write cache:

The first picture is no faster than a singular drive. Yet other people don't need to enable volume write back cache to get above 100MB/s. :(
4x1G work fine for me since day1 w/ stock bios
Well i finally set up the new computer. I still need to update the bios to ver. 11 but here is what she looks like right now. The temps bother me a little for being on water. I followed AS Crem. Instructions to a "t" but i still get these wierd differences in core temp. I have C1E and ESIT dissabled in the bios ATM. If i enable those the temps drop but for some reason it "underclocks" the cpu when im not doing anything.
On a side note I booted at 2.997Ghz/333mhz, 1:1, 1.25 Vcore, 2.2 mem voltage and the temps didnt look to bad. Ran a 5minute small ftt stress test and the max temp's i saw were 47C core 0,2 42C core 1,3. Seems my cores 1 and 3 run 5C cooler than 0 and 2.
Time for the good ol' 24 burn in of the cremq. then its time to see what she will do.
Do you guys think my temps are high for being liquid?
Liquid Set up:
MPC655
MCR320 (yate loon pull config)
Dtek Fuzion

Inside the case, side open. I should probably say that I have a down-blowing HSF, the Thermalright SI-128 and my NB and the immediate area gets some active cooling from that. I can't tell if my PWM heatsink does because I can't get my fingers back there to feel. I am at stock volts though so that is probably helping.
BTW, AC MX-1 is completely non-electrically conductive.
Sounds good, but 2.2v is way more than the memory is going to need a 333mhz. Mine is at 460mhz with only 2.1v.
that is strange!...
did you say that you removed the little white jumper off the 7200.10 drives?
i did install the raid on 2 of my 7200.10 drives and i never had to enable the write cache...did nothing to get about the same performance you show on the second image...hmmmmm...don't know what to tell you.
you need to find an savy puter guru guy to let him walk you through the setup of raid...do you have any friends like that living near you?
