Re: What do you guys make of these temps?
How much voltage are you using for the CPU?
What type of heatsink/fan are you using?
What type of thermal compound/paste?
How much did you apply? |

3 edits | 1.5125 volts
It's 2 and a half years old, the original e6400's without 2 megs cache.
I've used it for 2 and a half years in my old thermaltake swing, first with a x1900xt 512, then 2 years ago with a 8800gts 640, now with the gtx 260.
I had to do alot of interesting stuff to keep it overclocked but not too high temps. My temps were usually at 50-55c in the swing.
What do you suggest I set the voltages to now?
My 8800gts 640 died, since it was evga, I'm contacting them to get a replacement. I paid the same amount that a gtx 260 is now, so I'm expecting another gtx 260, at that point I'm gonna get quad core and put the 6400 in with the gtx 260.
Quick question: Could anything go bad with thermal compound in 2 and a half years? Should I attempt to remove it and put it back on?
The only things I've updated on my pc the past two years before a few days ago was ram.
Honestly, I would've kept the system a while longer if my gpu didn't die. The only thing I couldn't play at 60 fps on highest settings at 1920x1080 was Crysis. |
