Hi All,
I have an i7 920 OC'ed to 4GHZ with a H50. The i7 was bought as part of a OC bundle from OCUK and has been rock solid.
Yesterday I was encored some movies, something that I do all the time, and the PC blue screened for the first time ever.
I put it down as a one off ever and tried again but this time the machine hung after 20mins.
That's when I checked my temps. Two of the cores are idling around 49-52c and the other two are around 44-47c.
As soon as I run Prime95 the temps jump up to 90c also instantly and two of the cores hit 99c within 5mins, before I stop the test.
Nothing has changed in my machine, airflow is very good.
I have the two standard corsair fans, one blowing air into the motherboard area and one blowing onto the hard drives.
I have three enermax flows at the top of the case set to exhaust.
I have another enermax high CFM fan set as an intake on the rad.
I am just worried that the H50 is failing somehow which explains why it is not cooling the CPU properly but I would appreciate any advice for you guys.
I was thinking of change the fan on the H50 to exhaust instead as my 5870 exhausts into the case and also I have 4 hard drives which may be adding heat to the case.
I am just concerned at the sudden increase in my temps as I have not change anything on the machine for 3months or so and it has always been very stable.
