i7 heatsink

[wait321]

I just want to be sure, but if I want to buy an s1283 cpu fan for an i7 build, I have to also buy this bracket right?

indeed

 

[wafflehammer]

that's correct.

BTW, i'm using that setup right now getting 45C at load(prime 95) with it OC'd to 3.0ghz

45C prime95 load? exaggerating a bit aren't we?

What's your ambient temps

 

[wafflehammer]

It's about 27F outside right now...but there is a kerosene heater about 5 feet in front of my computer so i'm sure that's effecting it a bit. And i'm sure my voltage could be dropped some. At stock it was stable with 1.01 but i was lazy and put it at 1.1 when i OC'd

where the heck do you live?

so u mean to tell me that your i7 idles at 40C, and loads at 50C?

also, you have the old version of realtemp, the new one reads it more accurately

 

[wafflehammer]

all the cores idle about 35-40C and loads about 45-50C (in this type of weather of course...and I live in west virginia) Thanks for the tip about realtemp..but i can't find a newer version ?
