I'm pretty sure the fan is at full speed on load but I'll check again this evening when I get home.Check bios settings on the fan... it is only 45w it shouldn't be getting that hot.
I would swap the fan before swapping the heatsink.
I was hoping maybe some HSF's for other sockets would be compatible with it even though not explicitly stating as such.the platform just came out so i'd be surprised if any aftermarket coolers exist.
I don't have any fans aimed at it. The chassis only comes with a single exhaust fan and of course there is the fan attached to the heatsink itself.They do not make aftermarket heatsinks for BGA soldered in Intel CPUs. The stock heatsinks is sufficient, make sure your fan is aimed at it properly.
Would help to have a fresh air supply for the heatsink fanI don't have any fans aimed at it. The chassis only comes with a single exhaust fan and of course there is the fan attached to the heatsink itself.
I know but from what I can tell it's not an option. I've got the SuperMicro mini-server chassis that STH reviewed a few months back. There is no place to put an intake fan.Would help to have a fresh air supply for the heatsink fan
Not a bad idea. I have some Coollaboratory Liquid Pro left over from my last OC gaming build that I could use. Dropped my temps 20-25C when I added that to my desktop chips (coupled with a delid of course).try new thermal paste?
I've seen good thermal paste drop 10*C over the stock crap
Be careful I believe the stock heatsinks on your board is aluminum.Not a bad idea. I have some Coollaboratory Liquid Pro left over from my last OC gaming build that I could use. Dropped my temps 20-25C when I added that to my desktop chips (coupled with a delid of course).
The entire thing or just the fins? I know a lot of heatsinks have copper bases with aluminum fins.Be careful I believe the stock heatsinks on your board is aluminum.
yeah, you can easily drop 15* with as delid!Not a bad idea. I have some Coollaboratory Liquid Pro left over from my last OC gaming build that I could use. Dropped my temps 20-25C when I added that to my desktop chips (coupled with a delid of course).
My last chip (i5-4590K) dropped 23C under water after the delid .yeah, you can easily drop 15* with as delid!
I don't even game, I just enjoy building OC'd rigs because I do it differently each time. I sell them shortly after building them. Keeps me in the game .wow!
last Delip I did was a Pentium D...
lost interest in OC after that... I went to server boards for reliability and lost O/C functions in bios. I cant stand the goofy UI on most software OCs.
