So I have my i7 rig up and running, with the specs below (havent updated my sig yet):
Core i7 920 + Thermalright Ultra 120
Asus P6T Mobo
3x2GB G.Skill 1600Mhz DDR3
Palit GTX 285
Antec NeoHE 550w
Seagate 500 + 200gb
So i mounted my TRUE and was originally getting temps of around 42-45C idle and 52-55C Load. I though this was high and decided to remove some thermal paste.
Once i did this the temps dropped to about 37-41C idle and 50-51C Load. This is load in games, not prime or IBT.
Im still not happy though, this is stock and i think they are still to high. Am i right? I have one 1600rmp fan on the TRUE and 2 1500rmp 12cm case fans with another 2x8cm fans, and the cable management is pretty good.
Any ideas? Should i lap? Are these temps high for a stock i7?
Thanks.
