C2D experiencing significant thermal issues from the die to the IHS?
C2D experiencing significant thermal issues from the die to the IHS?
I’ve tested the setup with an H212 EVO off a bundle and an X48T, but even after using 4.7g 1.55v on my E8400 during a CPU-Z benchmark, the temperature stays around 90°C. The heatsink isn’t warming up at all. Do these benchmarks really perform poorly in heat transfer, and do I need to lower the load to below 4.5g for proper cooling?
It looks like the focus is on heat dissipation for IHS problems. Delid seems to be the right approach. For reference, I’ve already unclogged a 775 Pentium 4—relatively simple work. Adding a heated razor after warming the IHS also helped. It’s hard to picture a Core 2 series being significantly different.
I used a small blade from a basic shaver to trim the beard, then applied a candle to remove the hair. The main challenge is figuring out how to attach it securely to the socket after trimming, since I’m planning a direct water-on-die method instead of using metal-to-metal connections.
They’re actually quite simple to chill with, though the 212 isn’t great from an enthusiast standpoint. I never got why they were so popular—they’re terrible. I own one from my brother, an 212 Evo. I tested it on an X5690 and then the 3770K he gave me. Get a decent Thermalright cooler instead. I still have my original Ultra 120 Extreme from 2007 because I preferred it over the D14 I bought to swap it out. I’m a huge Thermalright fanboy and have plenty of their coolers. I still have my empty AIO, though.
The 212 isn't great but it's better than my Chinese cooler. It's not getting warm yet, though the CPUs are still reaching 90°C. I'm planning to run direct die to help cool them down. My X58 setup is down because I replaced the faulty x5660, so I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
I tested my E8600 at 4700 daily. I ran a few Q6600s between 3800-4000 with air. I swapped the 4GHz model for cash and got a 965 XE ES, which was my first experience with x58. Then I acquired a 970 and later an X5690, running them for about ten years. My current rig is a new x58.
Back then, when 775 was still in use or at least last generation, you'd run it at 4.7g daily. What voltage did you apply? Cooler temps and temperature readings were important. I also tested my golden e5400 and faced the same problem with poor die performance—likely due to excessive heat from the IHS.
I believe I was around 1.55v on the CPU. Used my Ultra 120 Extreme with two 120x38 Panaflo in push/pull mode. Edit: Possibly nearer to 1.5v... I'm not sure where exactly. That e8600 was taken from me and my P5K Deeluxxx wifi. It was a solid board. Not as strong as Rampage, but fine for its era.
