Just done a few laps at Paul RIcard in AC, and the Open Hardware Monitor claims 99deg for 3 of the 4 cores
and there were no problems, so I think it may be reading wrong, or the proc can stand more than 80 without issues
I just put a dot of paste in the centre, then twist the cooler around a bit when I fit it to spread it around a bit.
I have some experience at CPU replacement as I used to teach field engineers how to fix computers in a galaxy far away
for Sun, and there are more "correct methods" than I have hair on me head... (not that there is a lot of that these days)  Roll Eyes
But I am always open to enlightenment.   hammer
I trust "sensors" in Linux, otherwise I am not convinced of accuracy. I will try a couple more apps to see if they read
more sensibly. You are right, it is unlikely to run fine for another 20 mins if overheating caused the drop.

The box said "Windows 2000 server or better" So I installed Solaris

That is my dilema Tony. I have had CPUs overheat in the past, and it tends to reset the system, and reboot
I have had sims crash to desktop and die, Graphics cards overheating or dodgy connections causes funny effects
on the screen before it dies etc. This minimises GTL and can be restored imediately, I just lift and brake
and try to get off track if I know where I am, and maximise it again, it has always continued fine after that.
I have been thinking maybe the replay gets to a certain size and causes "something" to kick in, 1st time
I thought it was a windows update or similar. I have no AV software on my games machines, so it's not that.
This system has 16Gig RAM, I have done the 4 gig patch, I have tried running with and without the CPU
affinity set to all. If I could get it to run cooler I could then rule out CPU overheating, but so far it is
the only "obvious" cause. Could be GPU, I installed older drivers which gave me better frame rate at Sebring
but it's beeg doing this before that time.Started at the oval we did a while ago
GPU temps in Open Hardware Monitor look much cooler than the CPUs

Couldn't hurt to give the GPU a quick go over with a hoover nozzle?

Lol, you are right.  Have been researching thermal pastes and methods of application in preparation for my CPU replacement, and there's certainly no shortage recommendations for diverse methods..  Wink

Seems like Open Hardware Monitor is reporting temperatures too high.

Take a look at this comparison with Speedfan & PC Probe II (The little red/green display beneath Speedfan):



This is running the 'max heat' test of Prime95.

Just a followup on the heat issue; it's off topic, but info could be relevant for Matt and possibly others.

Start of this week I got my 2nd hand hexacore CPU; Core i7 980 (not the Extreme 980X version).  I initially mounted it with my existing cooler; the Zalman CNPS 9900A.  As seen above, my earlier i7 930 was running at 3.25 GHz, reaching temps of 84ºC with Prime95 max heat test.  Started out at the stock speed of 3.33 GHz with the 980 CPU.  In the same test, temps climbed to 90ºC.  Disturbingly high, and obviously no scope for overclocking.

Had a brand new Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler, given to me by a colleague who wasn't going to use it.  Tried it instead.  Idle temps seemed a few degrees lower, but was virtually shocked when I fired up the Prime95 test, and saw temps as low as 53-54ºC  Shocked   Lots of scope for overclocking here then.  Haven't found the limit, but currently it's running at 4.25 GHz, reaching temps of 71-72ºC after 1 hour of Prime95 max heat test.  Appears to be rock stable.  Ambient temp at testing has been around 22ºC

Looking at the two coolers, you wouldn't expect such a great difference.  They're roughly the same size, albeit different shapes.  Zalman is all copper, while the cooling fins on the 212 is aluminum, and copper is supposedly the better heat conductor.  Zalman has a mirror smooth contact piece for the CPU, whereas the 212 is much rougher.  The 212 has 'direct contact' heat pipes - the tubes are flattened in the part in contact with the CPU, whereas the Zalman has a separate contact piece, with the heat pipes running through them.  Don't know if the 'direct contact' design is that much better - if not, I'm inclined to think the Zalman is defect.  For both I used Arctic MX-4 Thermal compound, applied with the 'vertical line' method.

In other words; the cooler can make a huge difference, and based on the above, I can certainly recommend the Hyper 212 EVO wholeheartedly.

Erling
