Hi all,
I've been playing with C6H and a 1700, and so far I could do a stable 3.9Ghz with 32G of ram 8x4 at 3200Mhz using CAS 20-20-20-48-75 2T.
I've ran that for more than a day, and I see that my PCH Temperature stays around 61°C on IDLE, and go up to 70°C on Load.
After running about 15 hours of F@H using both CPU and GPU I get the following temperature reading using HWinfo64 v5.51-3135:
- CPU (Tcl/Tdie) 59°C (max 66°C, avg 52°C)
- CPU 64°C (max 71°C, avg 56°C)
- Motherboard 43°C (max 43°C, avg 40°C)
- CPU (socket) 52°C (max 52°C, avg 48°C)
- VRM 54°C (max ??, avg 50°C) (the max reading had an issue and was reporting 101°C, but it clearly never been that high)
- PCH 65°C (max 68°C, avg 64°C)
- GPU 66°C (max 67°C, avg 63°C)
After gaming for 1 hour on Ghost Recon, the PCH went up to 70°C !!
I wanted to know if that's safe to have such a high temperature for the PCH, and also, I wanted to know what I could do to get a lower PCH?
Talking about this in the
oc.net forum I seem to be an alien there, everyone seems to have PCH between 45°C and 55°C.
Could you please let me know if maybe the problem could be with the heatsink of the chipset that could have been badly seated in factory?
I've done a Clear CMOS and I'm now doing a similar test with default to see how high it'll go, but already I see PCH went up to 64°C...
Thanks for your help
