    Default Watercooling

    yeh ok i got the watercooling and its all on and stuff, but my temps are about 40 degrees, idle.....

    I applied thermal paste correctly, spread it out evenly etc and think its tightened enough?

    LOAD TEMPS PLZ.

    http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=211 change it to 4 cores/threads and make sure you do millions of digits like 32. Watch temps while running it.

    Yeah, load temps! But don't use Super PI. Use a real stress program. OCCT, Prime95, LinX, Intel Burn Test

    Temps are perfectly fine at stock for an i7. Anything up to about 85c load is considered acceptable on an i7.
