Core i7 920 Question
Hi everyone, first time posting but have been tracking this forum for a while now...i have read all there is to read from Unlceweb's genorous information..very helpful. i recently setup my i7 920 and have soley been using Realtemp 3.0 to monitor it..i also use core temp, HWMonitor but after reading your insight o Realtemp and how to calibrate it i found the others not as reliable....so i went ahead and performed your cpu cool down test with low voltage settings low heat setting at 12x and speed step activated @1.6ghz....after that i had to calibrate my individual cores to about +6-7 'C to my ambient temp in my room next to my case open...it was about 25'C and setup temps to +6,7 of that at idle of course...then went back reset bios to 3.8ghz, and ran another cool down test @3.8ghx and here are the results and cpuz pics...
My question is, are these temps and settings normal, i did not touch teh TjMax yet cause seems at idle temps are almost identical even though from cool down test only cores 1 and 3 seems identical at lower end but off at higher loads esp core 0...all info i read are on older 45nm chips, not much info on core i7....any insight would be great.
FYI i am running an coolermaster HAF 932 case with zalman 9900 fan, undreloads max temps reach high 70's..i know for this chip that is safe but i would like to know how to more accurately calibrate my temp sensors for better accuracy long term.
Thanks Guys
