yes, i know i already had a thread about this but it really gave no answers and i suspect it was just getting ignored because "ive already clicked that"
i previously had the pc in the desk, i tried cutting holes in the place it sat to let it breath, slight improvement, but now i've just put it ontop the desk. 10 degree improvement in the open and its rather cold tonight.
i experimented with the fan speeds and found absolutely no temperature difference between 500rpm and 1400rpm or even 2500rpm. no matter the fan speed, i get ~70 degrees celcius in OCCT.
its a standard clock i5 3450, running default voltage. my friend with a 3470 on stock cooler gets better temps than me. this cant be right.
i did check the fans were spinning correct way, and that they are mounted the correct way.
side question- cpu-z tells me the core voltage during OCCT testing is 1.040, sometimes 1.032. if i undervolt my CPU is 1.040 my starting point?
