retail QX9650 first run -> 4400mhz on Intel cooler box

[oscar3d]

Ok my panic is over... my temps are just fine. I'm reviewing the pics from pcCI2Minimal.

So... Let's add this factors...


My settings:

10x400 @ 1.4V.

On Idle I'm sitting around 36C perfect.

On Load: I'm getting 75C tops while stressing 4 cores Prime 95

That's 25C to Tjunction remaining.

This is kind of what it was achieved by pcCI2Minimal @ 4100, but with extra factors to consider.

-Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, Lapped Mirror finish.
-Arctic Silver 5 paste.
-Most important Case doors of my P182 enclosure closed.
-120mm CPU and exhaust fan undervolted @ 1024RPM, I'm not running my fans full speed, I like silence.
-And on top of that to make things worse, I have a 8800Ultra Overclocked inside that case. ( a freaking furnace), in my experience from switching my former GPU to this one it adds 5-7C more to the CPU temp.
-And finally Ambient temp of 75F = 23C



The run on air that pcCI2Minimal , if I'm not wrong and for the pictures I see it was done with the motherboard outside the case in the air and the stock cooler.

I've rechecked and re-installed my TRUE 120 and AS5 paste again. (Also note I have the coin/washer mod made on this cooler). There could be absolutely nothing wrong.

So now you have it, for the ones interested that's the test inside a case with a Thermalright 120 Extreme.

Thanks pcCI2Minimal for providing me with the settings I neded, a word or a suggestion is really appreciated. I really hope I'm not wrong.
