Tempurature analysis/comparison on x7200

mine is running idle at 42.6 average , whole the 4 cores Core i7 960 - load after 30 minet played with mineut playing metro 2033 at 1080 , maxed settings , DX11 , no AA - CPU : 82/80/79/69 lol !
GPU idle : 1.48 2.49
GPU Load same situation as CPU (after gaming) : 1.80 2.79
is it safe enoug?
room temp: 25
spec :
Core i7 960 - 6970m CF - 12GB RAM - 120GB SSD Primary - 750GB Seconday - IC Diamond Thermal

 

it chouldent be a prob since last time i spoke with sager they said that my temps was ok ad they where higher ten yours with a lower room temp but now after updating bios and ec every thing running great

 

So i wikk update the latest BIOS soon...perhaps it can decrease the temps, well uosually its not going above the temp that i wrote .... Yesterday after 8 hour on idle temp of cpu was 38 average and gpu was lower around 35 , room temp was 22 haha.... .
I dun gaming muc, later i will check the temps after i install crysis 2...

 

My Test results:

Specs see signature
Room temp: 23°C

Idle temps (°C) after 5 minutes after booting:

CPU: 37 -35 - 41 - 43 - 40 - 42
Chipset: 37
GPU1: 61 (always idles at 250-900 )
GPU2: 45

Load temps:

CPU: 84 - 82 - 79 - 82 - 86 - 85
Chipset: 83
GPU1: 78
GPU2: 78

Load temps after 1 min idle:

CPU: 51 - 48 - 52 - 55 - 51 -54
Chipset: 48
GPU1: 63
GPU2: 64

 

yehaa my two 485 is finaly arriving to morro bin stuck in customs for a month
started preping via lapping one of the GPU coolers to morro the other one is going to get lapped only down side is dont have any IC D at home and its a B to get in Poland so i have to go with AS 5 but thats ok to
Have taken some pics will post them when im done with the other cooler and the cpu cooler and the shims
and give some temps under load and idle

 

Hi guys my pics and benching will be delayed a little ran out of sand paper for the lapping of the GPU coolers since i calculated that i could use the ones i had but i got new ones with the cards with a dif GPU stamping in them so the old ones wont due since the stamping is placed in a dif place so it can interfere with the cooling i think dont kill me if im wrong havent done proper mezurements but just looking at them there is a small dif so getting new paper to morro and trust me they arent straight any where alot sanding to do

 

Hey guys just found this thread, I will post some results tomorrow. but right now after running Autocad all day my temps are:

Core:51C
Core1:52C
Core2:47C
Core8:51C
Core9:49C
Core10:47C

Ambient Temperature goes from 15C in the morning to 25C in the afternoon. I am staying in a work camp and the Air Conditioning is not the greatest. I do find the fan cycling quite annoying, checked the link for that bios but is no longer available. Is there any way to get a better control of the fan speed cycles?

Many Thanks to FortNax for hooking me up with this bad boy.

First run after installation pics and Oc max on standard Vbios and Oc max on Bumpt VBios coming later have to try these bbys out in some real gaming

 

Thanks for the link Torment78. I haven't tried it yet, work has been really busy.

Actually the camps up here have gotten alot better since 10 years ago when I was working up here. They have TV's in each room and with internet hookup available at a fee. The rec facilities are alot better, both a gym for cardio and a gym with a weight room. The food is still bland but free food is better than buying groceries and cooking your own food.

I haven't really tapped into the horsepower of this laptop yet. Mostly gaming with F1 2010 and the witcher. My asus G72GX would stutter after 10 min of racing on F1, but the sager runs smooth on high graphic settings with 4XAA.

I love having a portable gaming beast. At least now I don't miss my 9800GX2 in my desktop.

My NP7282 specs are Intel 990X-12gb Ram-2 Nvidia 485M GTX in SLI-2 500gb 7200RPM HD's

 

@Kubie
doing alot of benches with these bby's just now getting around to flashing to the Oc VBios for the 485m's

 

Hit 33000 to night will up load later

 

Here i some pics from when i resived the GPU's and was lapping the GPU Heat zinc's
Unpacking the box

the first pic is the most important

By torment78 at 2011-06-17

here is the Heat zinc Like it comes before i remove any thing

By torment78 at 2011-06-17
the thermal pads are very fradgile so be careful when removed put them on a clean plastic film and dont remove the green plastic put so its facing up
the preaplied Paste you need razor blades for and alcohol to clean of dont scrape to hard so you scratches becouse they are hard to get out


By torment78 at 2011-06-17

Here is some pics from difrent stages under the process
The striped area is where dip is and the paper havent started to take yet or on starting to take

How i did it

Spoiler

Started with 240 grit and just do the movment like when you lap a CPU up and down in 40 reps den turn 80degree do 40 more untill almost flat then go with 320 grit just do the same but this time untill its compleatly flat then go for 400grit rotate after 40 then when you see there only markings from the 400 paper and its still flat keep on going to a higher grit count you be ok to stop at about 1000 or 1500 grit then you just get your polish paste and a cloth and start going at it when done clean with alcohol to make shore that no paste resedue or finger prints left on the heat zinc bada bing your done

AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

By torment78 at 2011-06-17

 

I think we're seeing clearly lower temps on the six core i7s (970,980,990) which makes sense due to the 32nm.

I just got mine back from Sager where they replaced the mobo and RAM and am still seeing low-mid 60Cs idle on my i7-960 -- cooler than before, but still not as cool as I'd like. I'd like to get a 970, but no way I can justify spending $400 since I wouldn't see any improvements in gaming performance.

 

I am getting a shims for my CPU will post pic's later when i get my copper

All overclocking was done with Setfsb for the CPU
and EVGA Precision 2.0.2 for the GPU's
NiBiTor was used for modding the VBios thanks to Mavke @ MVKtech.net
for hooking me up with ver 6.03
hope all you guys like the post
more will be done for Vantage non physx and 3dmark11 and Pcmark 7

 

Torment78, now you just have to order two GTX 580M))

 

I am going to wait for kepler since i have seen that people are only hitting with Oc 30k gpu score in vantage and wit my 485 im hiting around 28k to almost 29k with Oc so the dif is not big enuth for me to justifie a upgrade not like i could when i whent fro the 480 to 485 where the dif was way beond 10k in vantage
