High Temps?

[Judderman]

Hi folks

I have a small problem that I was wondering if you guys mite be able to help me with. I recently built the below PC as per my sig but was wondering if the cpu cooler I am using is working correctly.

I currently am running at 3.8ghz (19x200) with the cpu at 1.5v but the temps I am getting with the Xigamatech HDT S1283 are not much different than I was getting with the stock amd cooler (idle:51c/load:68c).

My question is this, would I be better off replacing the stock Xigamatech fan that came with the cooler, and if so what fans would ppl suggest for performance/noise?

The case im using should have plenty of airflow as I spent a week doing the cable management properly and I am also in the UK so ambient temps shouldnt be a problem.

Also I have found conflicting articles on how you should apply thermal paste, as this could also make a difference to the temps.

Many thanks for your time

whats the airtemp in the room like matey?

also make sure you have applied the tim (MX2 /AS5 ect) properly and the cooler is mounted properly.

Take a pic of your rig as confused airflow can also be a big problem.

Hi TTL,

And thanks for the addy on your youtube channel

Ambient temp isnt above 25c as the weather has been ****ters in England, I will take a photo of my rig this weekend and post it but all the cabling is behind the mobo tray and its pretty tidy (thanks TJ Harlow!)

Im not sure if I might have put too much AS5 on, I used a spot about the size of a pea as I heard that was best with HDT coolers as it filled the spaces better!

Im sure it must be seated properly as I checked by giving it a quick wobble after installing it and it was solid.

Do my temps seem high?, wasnt sure if they are high for a 600mhz overeclock on air or not.

Many thanks for your time

if you want to replace the fan (although you shouldent have to) then the noctua fans are awsome and the synthe and thermalright fans are good to
