I wonder what is causing these high temps? That is too damn hot to be pouring 500 dollars into a watercooling system and getting those kinds of temps.

Could people please start luisting the particulars of their system and what software they are using? If we don;t know what software you are using to record temps it's telling us nothing becasue all these programs give wildly different temps onb the same CPU. Core Tem and real Temp vary by 10 degrees alone. Also Room temp, whrther you have other blocks in your loop, if you have lapped or not. Without knowing what your running nobody can figure this out.

I know one thing. We need to figure this out. After see these kinds of temps, there is no way I'm putting anymnore money into WC gear until we figure out how to get these temps down. There ain;t no way I'm running load temps of 65-75 degrees. Especially not with 500 dollars worth of watercoolinmg gear cooling it.


Tell me about it , I spent over 600 on this.

I get the same OC on water w/15 -20c drop as my old 120 ultra and nothing more, now I really think I have a crappy chip


The two I use are Asus Probe II and Real Temps. As you can see an 11 deg. diff. Whats a better progy to use besides direct laser temp?
