The vCore doesn't get shown properley in CPU-z
Stock vCore is 1.325 I think

arctic cooling freezer 7 - marks on copper?
- Thread starter techmob
- Start date
hmm now that i have the hole in the side panel covered , the temp has now gone up even more
so i decided to try the heatsink again, and cleaned it all off, so it was spotless, aswell as the cpu
applied a small line in the center of the heatspreader and carefully fitted the heatsink, so every foot, clicked into place
it is deffo on properly and has been done right.
current idle temps now according to TAT is 47 and 45
thats as bad as my stock cooler ffs
only difference when i had my stock cooler installed, was the cpu duct that ran from the side panel to above the heatsinks fan, so it must of helped with the cooling i guess.. i have had to remove that to fit the the freezer pro 7, and with doing so, my temps were 41 idle, but when i plug the left behind hole, with a filter and aspire grill, it pushes the temps up, so obviously the release of of air helps, if i have the side panel off i get 35 idle
but currently now it is 47 and 45 not over clocked and i am not impressed...

Put a fan on the side of the case blowing air in

i have done that, its not helped, i have also done it blowing air out
my missus is home, so shes got the heating on, so the room temp will be higher than earlier, i am hoping that is playing a factor
as since i re-did the cooler, the temp with side panel off has gone from
35 to 42
well , just took it off, cleaned again and reseated
all clicked nicely, lined up properly
just enough paste imo ( as per arctics instructions, thin line down the center of the heatspreader above the cpu dye)e
and straight away it is on 46 and 44 according to TAT
...........
i don't know, maybe its just a crap heatsink, as i feared, when i created this topic?

Yikes, the inside of that case looks the same as the £10 ones you can get from ebuyer
But it doesn't look that bad for cooling tho, altho it looks like there's 2x80mms at the front for intake.
Do you have the horrid duct over the cpu ?
Not sure what the prob is with the temp, but arctic silver takes a while to work properly I think. Can't remember how many hours it was, might be worth leaving it for a while to see what happens. Those temps are certainly not going to cook the cpu.
yea, it is a poor qualtiy build
no , i have removed the duct over the cpu.
i have
2x 80mm intake fans
1x 80mm roof fan
1x 120mm exhaust fan
i do not know what i have done wrong, as this morning i was getting 41 idel temps and 54 on load
now i am getting 48 idel, and probably 60 on load
only difference being is the heating is on, and it shouldn't make that much of a difference

Your solution is easy... the case is cheap but can be made just as good as any with a little help.
When you said the temps dropped when you removed the side panel say your airflow is poor.
the places where you mount the fans on the case are TERRIBLE. Those small holes only allow a VERY SMALL amount of air to pass. You need to cut out the centers where the fans mount to allow air to pass through.
Here is a pict from Newegg showing what I am talking about, Look at the hole for the 120mm fan
I think in the front of yours there will be spots for 2 80mm fans or 1 120mm fan. That also needs to be cleaned up (removed)
getting the wiring out of the way also will help airflow.
The temps you have now will let your comp to run fine but its well known the cooler the better.
To remove the metal you can use a hole saw or even a pair of tin snips. It will help a LOT.
Another thing is to remove the discoloration on your heatsink if you get a piece of very fine sandpaper (1000 grit or finer) and lay it on a very smooth surface than rub your heatsink in a figure 8 pattern it will smooth/flatten the heatsink out.

yeah good advice and i agree
my cables are out of the way and are not obstructing air flow
where the intake and exhaust fans are mounted do need cutting out
but my biggest prob atm, is that even with the side panel off now, i am getting temps of 45
far to high.
before i was getting 35
but regardless of my case, comparing to the stock cooler, the freezer is the same or worse atm
