Hi all
Being new to the custom built scene was wondering about CPU burn in.
Had a new system built by NCIX Computers. :thumb: Very well done BTW very happy with the result.
Spec's are:
I understand that when the thermal grease reaches it's burn in time the temps on the CPU are lower than when the unit was first fired up. Is using Orthos to speed up the process a good idea?
This unit has been running pretty much 24/7 since it arrived here on the 15th of April.
According to Everest the CPU temp is 25C yet, Asus Probe says it's 37C. Core Temp has the core0 at 25C and core1 at 30C with the Tjunction at 85C. SpeedFan, (if this is right) has it at 37C. There are way too many of these programs. :doh: So which one is the better one? Who knows. The important thing is they are mostly consistent with each other, so the average is what works for me.
When running Orthos small test the temps hover around the 48C mark. Will this come down a degree or two after the burn in?
TIA :canadianwave:
