2500k temps too high, what to try?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:13:11 GMT

I have a i5 2500k and I've always had problems with this computer for the last 1.5 years. This includes BSOD and display driver crashing using the HD3000. My idle temp is around 44C (idle in windows) and running prime95 makes temps go above 90C (measured using Open Hardware Monitor, CPU Package Temp), I shut the test off after it hit that. People on other forums are getting 25C idle and 60C prime95 load, so I think something is wrong. OCCT fails after about 10 seconds with an error.

I checked the push pins and they appear to be completely pushed down and locked. They are all secure and I can't pull any of them up. What else should I try?

Which motherboard can compatible with Intel(R) Xeon Phi(R) 5110p

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:00:42 GMT

I’m using Processor Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme Edition 3970x but now I'm hearing Intel had a stronger processor name Xeon Phi 1150p with 60 Cores inside. I have a question, which motherboard can compatible with this CPU? Can it use for gaming? Please help me, thank you a lot!!!!

Can anyone tell me if this is right?

values obtained by core temp 1.0

is this safe? max values occuring with heavy use of the graphics card (GTX 550 Ti)

the graphics card i am having issues with, i basically forgot to clean the computer out and there was a heavy amount of dust in the graphics card fan causing it to overheat and crash. have since fixed this problem but noticed the temperature still isnt great, and the computer does tend to slow right down and struggle which it should do with the specs i have and the kind of games being run.

it doesnt help i have a crap case, that the PSU is at the bottom.. which i have since been told that this can cause over heating as the heat from the psu rises?

anyway ideas guys? do i replace the graphics card (which i really dont want to do because of the cost) or do i replace the case? or could it be the PSU?

Core i5 3450 Temperature

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:14:33 GMT

Hi everybody. I've registered a few minutes ago and this is my post. I use AIDA64 to monitor my components temperature. A few hours ago I checked the temperature of my CPU, while I was playing Metro: Last Light. This is what I found out.

CPU: 50C

CPU Package: 56C

I'm using intel stock CPU cooler. I just wanna know whether it's a good temperature or not? By the way My room is kinda hot because of summer! I think it's around 32-35C. My idle temperature is this:

CPU: 41C

CPU Package: 44C

Now how is that? Am I supposed to be worried?i5

Difference between Core i7-3820 and Xeon E5-1620

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:50:12 GMT

Hi there,

I'm currently designing a new computer for image processing system. As I ran through the specifications I didn't notice any important difference between those processors (including price). I don't need any server-oriented things like ECC memory etc. The main task sequence of continuous processing follows:

1. DMA grabbed image from PCIe card

2. Allocate memory and copy image

3. Do some simple integer processing over every byte

4. Deallocate image

5. Go to step 1

The sequence is repeated 140 times per second with overall flow of images of about 1 GB/s.

We have already tested it on i7 3820 with cpu load of about 40% (GA-X79-UD3, quad memory DD3 1600)

Is it worth it to buy and test Xeon E5 1620 for this kind of processing, so we could get lower cpu load?

Thank your for your advice.

Intel BXRTS2011LC Liquid-cooled Thermal Solution For the LGA2011 Socket

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:27:57 GMT

Hello, Im just wondering if the Intel BXRTS2011LC Liquid-cooled Thermal Solution For the LGA2011 Socket is compatible with the new LGA 1150?

Thanks!

Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool cannot read my cache values?!

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 30 May 2013 23:49:09 GMT

Hi I'm currently inspecting all the components of my pc.

This due to short freezes of the system every now and then (like less then a second) while there is a freeze everything locks up, audio becomes noise, video freezes also the cursor and in games, while watching a movie, doing nothing etc so really everything.

Maybe you could point me in the right direction for that problem.

What I was trying this time was your IPD Tool

So when I installed the software and started it, it happily started doing all kinds of checks until the Cache Test

It just sat there for 5 minutes " --- Reading Cache Size --- "

And after that it showed me this:

When I disabled the cache test the whole test ran just fine and I was greeted with a green window at the end.

These are my specs:

Windows 8 x64 Pro latest updates.

CPU: I5 3550

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V (latest BIOS 1908, Management Engine 8.1 and latest Intel Network Rom NVM Update Utility for Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet PHY Network Connection)

SSD: Crucial M4 128GB

HDD: Hitachi 5K3000 2TB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB

GPU: Integrated at the moment while I sort out where the problem is. Normally it is SLI Asus GTX670 DCII

PSU: Corsair AX760i (the problems existed before I had this power supply)

RAM: 16GB (So 2x) Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9

So, does this mean something is wrong with my CPU?

Or is this a bug in the software.

UPDATE: Yesterday I removed my GPU's and went integrated, the freezes were dramatically reduced, but the problems persist, this time under load (e.g. playing games). So this can plausably only mean 2 things, it's really my cpu or my motherboard.

UPDATE 2: Nope it also happens during no load situations...

Installing HAXM fails

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:56:36 GMT

Hello

I am trying to install HAXM on my Lenovo U410 with a clean Windows 8 install. It has worked before on Windows 7.

Intel Vtx is enabled in BIOS. I downloaded the HAXM installer with the Android SDK manager. When I run the executable I get the following error: "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology..."

When I disable Vtx in BIOS and run the .exe I can assign an amout of RAM for HAXM, when it finishes I get this error: "This computer meets the requirements but is not enabled..."

This is the CPU: I7-3517U. The intel page says it supports vtx

ARK | Intel® Core™ i7-3517U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.00 GHz)

Running the Processor Identification Utility says it does not support Intel Virtualization Technology.,v

Very strange. Any ideas?

B950 & IntelHD Graphics performance with overclocking

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:19:43 GMT

Hi, all.

I have some experiments with processor Intel B950 and sandy bridge chipset on Lenovo G580 model.

By chimera bootloader a try to overclock this processor to 3600 MHz and test it on stability. All looks like ok, but the Integrated graphics have an some questions.

By default HD2000 works on 800-1200 MHz frequency and some games have an bad performance. This processor have a 2 cores and i want to ask you about how Graphics Card can works if I manualy disable one of cores? Can overclocking processor improve performance on HD2000 or not?

What about system bus? I overclock it to 1600 MHz and have rated FSB over 6400MHz. Can it helps me?

Memory ... I try to overclock it to 2600 MHz, can it improve my Graphics?

Why B960, B970 better then B950? How can i disable mobility options on safe energy mode?

In virtual machine when i enable only one core of two i do not see overclocking on Windows XP( when 2 cores in works i look at overclocking in CPU-Z ). The primary system is OS X 10.7.5.

Thanks. I think about i7 but it looks like bulshit with 4 or 6 cores on real software ...

Multiplier for overclocking

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:31:33 GMT

Hello.

Is it a virtual number for balancing overclocking?

My EFI have not options for overclocking but i use chimera bootloader for OS X and can improve performance ...

What about memory timings?

I thinks it's a flase numbers ... Can my Hardware do it auto?

Can my Processor works better then memory if memory frequency is lower then CPU ?

What about chipsets and FSB speed?

Thanks ...

Which Core 2 Duo?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:09:03 GMT

I have a Mac Mini that came with a Core Duo 1.83Ghz processor. I found that the processor is easily swappable. The T7600 and T7200 will work but there are many other Intel Core 2 Duo models I've found on eBay. Is there a resource that will tell me which processors will work in my Mini?
