X9000 temps?

Hey there!
I purchased a new retail Core 2 Extreme X9000. I applied Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste to the CPU and to the chipset next to the CPU. I runned Orthos for 20 minutes and here are the results of my temperatures:



Are these temps ok? What are your temps with the X9000? Thank you for your answer!

 

Wow. I have a stock t8300 (presumably with low quality paste) and it never breaks 56. Of course someone with an x9000 such as Johnksss should chime in but... eeek.

 

Your fine drevan, but if your really worried about temps though you can look into undervolting it theres a guide in the forums about it i found it in the 9300 temps thread i think and it dropped my max temps by 11 degrees .

 

You x9000 core temps are fine. Your Thermal Zone temps worry me though (83/93c)

 

the problem with the thermal zone temps to me is no one has been able to pinpoint exactly what they mean or have they ? the highest ive seen mine go is 73 i think once .

 

ACPI TZ are your chipset temps. These temperatures is what triggers the fan speed and such. Lets just say its a sensor in between the CPU/GPU to know when the fans need to engage if either or both parts needs cooling.

 

These are my temps, with an x9000 on my p-6860fx, after about 4 hours of gaming

 

those are good temps as well krazy but running orthos for 20 mins and gaming are two different ballgames all together download orthos and blast away and see what temps you come up with that way you can put drevans mind to rest or ease . i have the 9300 so i cant really compare .

 

To be honest, I am only worried about my ACPI temperatures too

Btw is it only for me that my TZS0 temperature is near my CPU temperature (nearly almost the same every time) and my TZS1 temperature is the TZS0+9(or 10) C? Is this only coincidence or this is the same for everyone else too? Because I heard that some1 with X7800 has around 80C CPU temperature too (after xy hours of gaming) and if I'm right with the ACPI temperatures above, than my temps are "normal".
It would be great if some1 else with X9000 would try Orthos too

Oh, I almost forgot...I repasted the CPU and the chipset 3 times now, and these are the best temps I get so far

 

When you bolted down the cpu did you follow the 1-5 order on the screws ? maybe that thermal pad you had on the chipset is outta whack, i know mine peeled apart sadly .When i reseat the heatsink i make sure that backend is in there first but not screwed down till last i gave it a slight turn otherwise it ended up kind of ****eyed .

 

i get slightly higher temps for 3.0ghz
2.8ghz fairs much better.

 

My order was: 5-1-2-3-4.

 

So you say you have nearly the same temperatures as me? Even the ACPI temperatures?

 

i say it gets even hotter if i use 3.0ghz.
the acpi is usually 7-8c more than the cores.

once after a long crysis session, i saw it maxed at 100c.
that day i downclocked it to 2.8ghz, never went back

 

And what are your temps now at 2.8Ghz?

 

@2.8ghz orthos can bump my cores to 85
and the acpi is around 92

but while gaming, max temps are:
around 80 for cores 83-5 for the acpi
(games are not as torturing as orthos/TAT )


mind you, the x7800 is 65nm cpu and hence the difference in temps.

 

45nm CPUs are not that much cooler than the 65nm...why? the answer is simple. You probably know that the central core of the 45nm CPU is smaller than the core of the 65nm and because of this the heat has smaller surface to leave from. If you don't belive me, than search for some tests in Google.

 

well the x7800 is hotter than the x9000 on same frequencies, i don't think the extra cache has anything to do with it, nor does the 1w difference.

anyway maybe not much cooler but still cooler, that's from my casual reading of intel announcements.

 

what is the difference in 1 w.

we can say 45nm is just a shrink nothing else and nothing new beside the cache that is 2 MB bigger.
you can't change a lot in performance without changing the architecture.
look at p4 it is always hot, look at other 90nm CPU they aren't so hot as p4.

bu the way even 1 w is welcomed, why not.
