CPU Temp

Yeah and I would have a server rack of them they are about 10 server units thick I think they are IBM Version 8 servers or something I cant quite remember but they are all monsters they would make my machine run away crying.....they all support 8 Xeon processors each its insane...and they are designed to demolish sheer number crunching values....

 

Interesting..

 

and nope only a bank has the money to buy servers like that....

 

Out of curiosity, how much in total did your "The Magnum Opus" build come out too?

 

God about £2800, its more than all 4 of my previous computer builds put together...

 

Do you by chance have any pics of the build?

 

I do have some on my phone but I wont share them, its a basic internal layout, CPU water block, motherboard, 32GB worth of ram and a graphics card and PSU at the bottom all quite dull...

 

I would add some Fans to your case if this is possible , also I would buy a tower cooler and good thermal Paste , then it should run better or maybe your cooler is fallen of a little bit ? Because I Turned my old computer on and after 2 Minutes it shouts down , then I Took a look in the interior and saw that the Stock Fan was fallen off a little bit , so the cpu went over 100 then I reinstalled the Fan and everything was ok ..?

 

I don't mind sharing mine. It is fairly similar to his. Just don't hate on the cable management and my crappy picture.

Spoiler

 

Your cable management doesn't look bad.

 

Ive got a question for you guys. ive been a bit concerned about my cpu temp.
I have a laptop. An asus ROG j550jk
My cpu is an i7 4700HQ @ 2,4 ghz, 3.2 on turbo
Its usually around 60 on idle.
When i play beamng, (other games as well) i goes up to 90 ish, it never went to 100 or over 100. highest recorded was 98 i think
Also, keep in mind that its Celsius, and not in F

 

far too

far too high. I'd carefully open it up and remove any dust if there is any. Possibly consider replacing the thermal paste.
most importantly make sure its not on a surface that blocks the vents like carpet or whatever, hard surfaces only.

 

My laptop is actually pretty clean, and i havent really touched or removed the thermal paste. It actually was that hot even when i just bought it. and well the vents are actually weird tho.

I drew a red line where the actual, and only vents are. i cant really do anything about it.
I mean, im not sure if there is something that i can do.
Other from the vents that are made a bit weird, i keep that area clear of anything, it is on a hard surface.
I know that changing the thermal paste wont do anything. and clearing the dust.. well.. there arent any dust. i recently opened it yesterday to fix something and it isnt dusty. soooo..
This is why i asked, my laptop is clean, and i dont know what i could do. apart from blasting the fans at max rpm all the time.

 

You are over stressing the cooling system when you are running your computer at 100 degrees C and you may get thermal throttling as a result of that

 

My laptop also reaches temps of 95°C sometimes. So i guess i will check mine in the weekend. But then again. It always ran pretty hot.

 

Your cable management is good IMO, better than what mine is right now lol.

 

I can't manage cables in my case, it' a re-used prebuilt case from 2007.

 

I'm somewhat late, but: You don't need liquid cooling to overclock. The Hyper 212 Evo really is an amazing cooler. Stick two Corsair SP120's on it, you get great cooling for £50.
I have a 4690K @4.4GHz, stays under 60C with most games, ~65C max with 4+ vehicles in BeamNG.

 

212 evo is a good cooler but there are better now for that price point, or a little bit more

 

No there aren't. It's £25, most similar coolers (large heatsink, 120mm) are >£30 and don't perform nearly as well. CM's fan is pretty good. It also works great with dual Corsair SP120s or Noctua 120mm fans.
