What should i5 2500k temperature be

Been a while since I tested it, so I can't remember what cooler or heatsink I was using. That cooler I don't think natively supported the LGA socket type, did you have to modify it to make it fit? Last edited by Tech Tweaker; at AM. HDT S yes. Well i still think its high, i was supposed to go Mhz with cooler such as mine. It doesnt natively support LGA , but if u take the pins out and replace them with screws, it fits.

Im gonna try today 1 last time and see if i can do anything bout the cpu. I will measure the sides to see if they are even, nothing more i can do. It really bothers me though that at 65C cpu temp, the heatsink is basicly cold. Like i said, if i touch my R9 at the same temperature, everything is hot, heatpipes, even the backplate, and i cant hold heatpipes for long without getting to hot. Temperature is how hot a particular part is, but not how much energy is emitted from the part as heat.

This can seem contradictory, but it depends on a lot of factors such as getting heat out of the part. Bottom line, touching the cooler is not a good measurement of how well it's working.

Sand on a hard flat surface like glass. The sharpie will show you if it's being sanded evenly. Be mindful not to over round the edges. Skil Trident Z 1. EarthDog , Mandrake PM me, I can help! Zerileous Originally Posted by SentinelAeon. Just wanted to say i was right, the cpu wasnt even - after i evenly sanded it, the max of temps dropped from 69 to 56C.

Then i noticed that since i lapped the cpu a lot, the socket attachment system ware blocking the cpu cooler to make full contact. After i removed this from motherboard, max of temps dropped to 53C. This will give me some headroom for overclocking for when i need it. But the day didnt go as smooth, i spent entire day so i will write here what happened. What a day. Moved my 2 intake fans at the back of the case - made them outtake fans.

Cleaned the dust, though it wasnt bad. Removed some plastic cover from PSU. Simple, fast, efficient. Then put it in and wouldnt give picture.

If your keeping your chip at 80C under normal usage, under full load it would probably be well above 95C. At the end of the day when your overclocking most Sandys, heat usually isn't a problem.

Aim for the lowest voltage you can to get the job done, weather its a huge overclock or just a small one. Joined Nov 19, Messages 14, Click to expand Joined Jan 30, Messages 2, Joined Feb 8, Messages I read that Intel specs a lot of these chips at 73 or 71 or around there.

Is 80 a normal value? I must have gotten a really good chip. I reduced the voltage a bit, and 1. Temp is 66C after Prime95 stress testing. Solid as a rock. Kind of scared to do Intel Burn Test lol.

I'm going to see if I can push it a little higher on that voltage. Another quick question. For example i set the CPU voltage to 1. Your actual chip voltage is 1. My chip will do 5Ghz easily 1. I settled on 4. Temps run C under full load. Joined Jul 9, Messages The max Tcase according to Intel is 72c, so you'll be able to run at around 80c and maintain that.

If you hit 90 or c for a short time that's fine, but chips start to degrade really quickly at those temps. Tcase has nothing to do with the operating temp of the processer.

You can read about Tcase here But yes, I would definatly keep my chip at 80C or lower. Temps that high usually are not a problem with the SB's though.

You'll usually run out of voltage long before heat is an issue with the Sandys. Pitbully said:. First, sorry about my English Next, I wanna ask about ik and normal idle and stress temp. Idle temp. Some ik users are saying, that they have lower temp. So I don't know what should I think about that temp. Is that normal, or not? The maximum recommended temperature for this processor is You do not need to worry about the cores temperature, you only need to worry about the CPU temperature, please check with the motherboard manufacturer for them to provide you monitoring software that can provide the CPU temperature, if not you can check the CPU temperature on the BIOS of the system.
