NH-d14 temp check

Its very similar to another post in this section but i didnt want to hijack their one.

I have an i5 2500k and cooling with the d14 and just with stock atm (want to make sure its stable before i try to up it but i have little experience in it)

Been taking temps daily cause im probably being over cautious but its my first build. Been running it for a week or so now and thought id get some feedback on if its "normal" or "too hot".

IDLE TEMPS ( C )

CPUID; 37

Core Temp 1.0; 36/7

LOAD DURING PRIME

CPUID; 57/8

Core Temp 1.0; 57

Feedback/advice is appriciated

Is it at stock or overclocked?

EDIT:

Oh nvm, I didn't read that you wrote it was at stock. Sorry bout that

Temps seem a tad high for stock clock with a D14, you might wanna re-seat it. But don't worry, as 57C isn't gonna destroy your CPU or anything like that.
 
Idle temps seem a bit high but it could just be that you have a hot chip load temps are fine though.

What clock speed and voltage are you running at?
 
When its idle it does that power saving thing, which is why i was concerned the temps were a bit high. clock speed shown by CPU-Z is;

IDLE

Core speed: 1605.5MHz

Multiplier x16

Bus 100.3MHz

core volt 0.848-0.944V

LOAD

core speed 3712.7MHz

multiplier x37

bus 100.3MHz

core volt 1.256-1.264V (keeps swapping)

(might be dumb here, but i thought the stock 2500k was 3.3GHz)

EDIT - oh and ill just say... im gonna guess its the rig doing this but room temp on my cheap littl clock thermometer thing is 26c but i dont know how reliable this thing is.... it is hot in here for night time
 
oh also on another note while i think about it. the mobo is p8z68-v. Like already said its my first build so i went with exactly what i thought and read. I put both fans into the Y connector and then inserted it into the cpufan space. But i had noticed there is one that says cpufanopt (or something like that). Is that where i can plug in another cpu fan (ie have each fan on the sink going to a seperate connector or was i correct to plug them both in the Y connector. if i should do that, could this be why the temps may be a bit higher or would that still not make much difference?
 
The 2500k is 3.3ghz,but turbo takes it to 3.7ghz.

At roughly 1.26v and 26c ambient,57c under load seems alright.

My 2600k at 1.38v is 71c under 100% load with the nh-d14.

You could run both fans at 12v direct connected to psu,fans are pretty quiet even if they are running 100%.

I would guess that 37c idle temps is caused by,fans are set on auto settings in bios.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge but when you say run both fans direct on 12v what do you mean by that? Im very sure they would be no real change in noise leve; the hdd and case fans hum would probably drown it out anyway. Also how do i find out if my bios needs an update? I had a look at the temps on the bios and it had them at 44 and i read that updateing it could make it more reliable.

Also i decided to use the easy boost option on the bios. just to kinda get rough look at how the temps might be with an OC. So heres the results (did it to see if you guys would notice a real problem looming)

Tests done with case fans on high

Idle

Core speed - 1648.3 MHz

x16

bus 103.0

volts 0.960V (max noticed)

CPUID TEMP - 38

CORE TEMP 1.0 - 37/8

Load

Core speed - 4327.3

x42

bus 103.0

volts 1.288V

CPUID TEMP - 63c

Core TEMP 1.0 - 62c
 
Seems a bit high, but that's probably poor airflow or something.

The optional CPU fan header is exactly for coolers like the D14. Before I got a fan controller I plugged the NF-P14 (big one, centre) into the CPU_FAN1, then the NF-P12 (small one on outside) into the optional one.

ok so i did decided to get rid of the splitter and put each fan to their own one. i think i mucked up the order tho cause i put the middle one on the option instead of like how you said. but its taken both temps down by 1 degree for the 4.3OC. So the temp idle is now 36 (about as cool as it was when it was on stock) and 62 on load. Ill try too rework the cabling but i dont think i can change much more. i might take out the top removable disk trays to free up space for the front intake.
 
had an issue just now - when i went to turn on the computer it turned on, turned off, turned on about 3 times. then a message came up saying overclock failed. so i changed the setting back to normal, but it still turned on and off bout 3 times before it finaly let me on here. any ideas?
 
You have some settings that need to be adjusted.

Most likely cpu need a little nudge or two in volts.

Cpu pll overvoltage enabled

LLC on high
 
37, High Idle temps! My idle temp is around 42 haha. Really looking to get a NH-D14 but may wait for the new noctua coolers to be released. It would also mean I would need new ram which is lower.
 
had no idea new noctua were due out ha. oh well... temps have seemed to settle down a bit to around 35 now (with the auto OC still on at 4.3 - will get round to changing it soon... the comp started to turn off again this morning but only did it once) So what are peoples final thoughts? will be fine or should i reseat it?
