3770k temps

Hi,

Few minor concerns about temps...

I decided to go for a better overclock than 4.5ghz today (stable at 1.205v), so tried at 4.8ghz (1.35 unstable, then up to 1.4v, didn't try to get it down any further)
At 1.35v, temps were around 95-100 degrees C on IBT, then at 1.4v, temps hit 100-105.

So, I put the D5 up to the highest speed setting, and also put the fans up to 12v (from 5v) and it made at best 2-3 degrees C difference.

I'm perfectly happy with an OC of 4.5ghz tbh - as temps are around 60-65 degrees C on CPU and GPU under load. But I'm just wondering if you guys think there's a problem with the loop, or just think I need more rads. Or maybe even a mounting issue - although I'm pretty sure the blocks mounted fine.

The coolant leaving the block didn't feel particularly warm at all.

It just seems a little odd to me that changing the fan and pump speed by that much made absolutely no difference.

I'm running a 3770k and a 670, with a D5 and Alphacool UT60, on a P8Z77-v Deluxe. Fans are Silverstone Air Penetrators.

.5v increase on VCORE was a 35° increase? well IB does have a sweet spot in voltage
and i think you found yours. what CPU block (since the temps originate there)?
UT60 240? UT60 360? CPU loop or CPU/GPU loop?
 
As deano says,
i think its a combination of you hitting the sweetspot with you chip,
also your probably at the max the rad can handle, maybe put a monsta rad in the front james, then it will give you head room for a 2nd gpu
 
any OC on the GPU? you have reached the eff point of the rad if the GPU is OC as
well. retest with stock clock on GPU.. if no change, doubt alot can be done with a
delta change that drastic. the CPU block can absorb X amount before saturated.
but your question that its not really that much temperature felt. only thing leads
me a lil is the actual isnt hot to touch (warm maybe?) verify with another monitor
like OCCT or realtemp..
 
I did think that, but 4.8ghz seems a little low to me to be the absolute max watercooling will achieve.
As it was IBT, the GPU was idling too, so that shouldn't really have contributed massively to temps.

I don't really think I'll be adding another GPU anytime soon tbh. Saving a bit for a car/insurance, and considering I rarely game anymore it probably isn't worth the extra £450 or so it would cost for another 670 + block + second rad.

The GPU is overclocked as high as it will go - but as I say, it was idling during IBT, so shouldn't have raised temps massively.

I have tried with HWmonitor and RealTemp. Asus Probe also flashes at me saying: 'Warning, CPU temperature 84 degrees' - while the other two flash 105 degrees, so I don't really trust that. Plus, it's always been a little iffy.

And it isn't really hot at all tbh. I didn't leave it on a particularly long time, due to temps of course, but the CPU block, and metal barbs themselves were no hotter than the radiator.

I may disable the GPU at some point and retest temps just with the CPU. That should confirm/reject the block being unable to dissipate the heat quick enough.
 
since we are having descrepancies over what the temperature really is, that
might be something to consider is a remote gauge that is correct or somewhere
inline of the coolant nearest to the source to determine if actual high temps
exsist. just something to consider.

when was the last service/cleaning of the internals done?
 
I only set up the watercooling in the first place a couple of weeks ago.

I wouldn't really say discrepancies over the temperature... Asus probe is never right. I'm pretty sure that uses a sensor on the motherboard for CPU temps, whilst HWmonitor actually judges by the CPU itself.

Thanks for the replies so far :)

Uninstall Asus probe its crap and messes with other temp tools. See how ur temps read then

I don't really use it. I know it's unreliable.

I only have it installed as it's part of the Ai Suite. Never use it for monitoring, but it just pops up when it thinks temps are a bit high. Don't really listen to it though :)

Edit - misread a bit. You sure it messes with other monitors?
 
Yep i had it installed and it just messes with other programs. If u ask at the asus forum all the mods say to uninstall it. Some people also have problems overclocking with prob installed. I used to get the temp warning all the time from prob and HWMonitor never reads wright with it installed even if u don’t use it, it still runs in the background. I would uninstall all of the Ai suite if i was you.

It messes wiht other programs?! O.o

How badly, my 3770K is at stock clocks and cooler, I use coretemp to look at temps and it is always 10C higher than what Asus says! Ant way I can uninstall the temp part with out removing AI suite?

I tried to remove Asus probe from mine (uninstall the AI Suite, but only select Asus probe to uninstall)
I still get temperature and voltage warnings though.

Bit of an update to this thread coming sometime tonight though
 
Only way i could get rid of the temp warnings was getting rid of AI Suite. HW Monitor also started reading the right temps as well
 
Yeah, I completely eliminated AI Suite. Asus makes awesome hardware, but their software is total shit! Fan Xpert was giving me problems with my one fan which I am confident is 100% fine, the temps were off, once it told my my CPU was like -228C LOL! GPU Tweak gave me problems with displaying the memory usage of my Matrix 7970, where as Afterburner displays it fine! Asus work on your software coding a bit more!!!
 
Yeah I just installed a 3770k on my max iv ez I'm at 0.95 volts stock clock. In HWMonitor cores are reading between 24-30 Degrees yet package reads as 35-37 =S

Think it's a bug with multi threading.
 
The crappy TIM under the hood of that ivybridge chip doesn't like what you're trying to put through it.

You can dial back the o/c or you can remove the heat spreader with a knife (carefully, lol), remove the shitty TIM intel put there to hold the chip back/save costs and either replace it with something decent (or liquid metal pro) or just run without an IHS (warranty on cpu obviously gone)

He's one step ahead of you on that one ;)
