i7 920 is HOT!!

HomeBody · September 2nd, 2009, 02:51 PM

I have a water cooled EX58-UD4P running a i7-920 (D0) in a Cooler Master full tower. I have voerclocked it to 4 Ghz. When I try to stress test the setup using Real Temp 3.0 and Prime 95 the temp goes into the 90c and up range. The temp at idle is 58c.

I was hoping that someone would have some suggestions on how to get the temp down.

Thanks!

That is very toasty considering its a D0 (especialy since its water cooled)... What do you have the vcore at...?

Also may want to re-apply the cpu water block.

vcore is 1.4.

I forgot that I have it set back down to 3.8 Mhz.

That is very high for a D0.... most can hit 4.0Ghz between 1.1-1.3 (some less). I would start by lowering the vcore....

Then would try remounting your cpu block.
