i7 950 temps

Renegade40D · 11th July 2012, 1:09 PM

Posted this in the "I have a hot i7 thread" but no replies so new thread it is.

Just installed a watercooled 7970 into my loop, along with my i7 950.

To be honest its been a while since i bothered looking at temps as i havent been gaming much. For some reason i remember hearing the 950 is a warm chip.

Anyway just played some BF3. CPU hit 60 and the GPU hit 45... are those to high? Ambient temp probably 18 maybe. 360 rad, apogee gtz cpu block and a full EK block on the gpu. mcp 655 vario or something like that for the pump and an xspc drive bay res.

no overclocking on anything, should probably add that at idle now cpu is 35 and gpu is 32. Once it hits 60 it stays there for the whole gaming session.

those temps aren't dangerous at all

Those temps are perfectly safe, intel cpu's are fine up to about 80c, I'm not too sure about the 7XXX gpu's but my 6990 hits 75c under my block (with 1ghz on the core)

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

You normally get a 10-20C difference between ambience temperature @ idle. Those load temps line up with the amount of RAD you have too. I get fairly similiar load temps with an OCed 2600K and HD5970 on a single RX360.

Sounds good, just wanted to double check coz the ambient is quite low being winter and all. And i know the 950 was meant to be a warm chip.

Perfectly normal temps. Had a 240 rad cooling my 950 and R3F. 60ish temps so yeah. Went back to air, too much hassle for internal w/c atm as I keep changing stuff ha.

Hang on, your watercooled 6990 hits 75c? Mine won't go past 975hz but the highest the temps get are 60c, usually around 55c. The temp is even across both cores. When I first installed the loop one of the cores was going up to about 80c but that was because the block wasn't properly seated over that core. If you're hitting 75c under water you might have a problem with your loop.

I've got a Koolance block on mine. 360 + 240 rad, D5 pump etc.

I have mine overvolted to 1.32v, hence the stupid heat output (2 x 240 rads struggle). At stock max GPU temp is about 40c, I have the koolance block as well and I am yet to have a bad mount, they are great blocks.

Any decent guides for OC'ing the i7 950? Figured i would ask here before i start using google.
