hi gigabyte
i have a p55m ud2 and version is f6
i have i7 870
my temps are 45,44,41,40 and they are at 0 load i checked the speed it was 3ghz(133x23)
somebody told me to enable speedstep in bios but i didnt find any
plz help me
thanks
-
Hi and welcome to the forum. The setting they are talking about is listed as EIST in the BIOS. It should already be enabled but it doesn't hurt to check.
If you are using the stock cooler then I would suggest that you change it for a good quality heatsink/fan.
-
eist is set to auto? should i change it to enable? will enabling it help me to run my pc at stock speed which is 2.93 as it is now approx to 3 ghz
thanks
-
If it is set to "auto" it should be working anyway but changing to "enabled" certainly won't hurt.
-
is this board perfect for my i7 870? or i made the wrong decision?
how to get down temps?
thanks
-
Temps are fine
-
The tempertures seem fine to me, a little on the high side but nothing much. What cooler and case are you using?
-
i m using stock cooler with cooler master elite 335 and i m having 600w cooler master psu
and my 10-15% load temps are approx to 85 of all cores
thanks
-
Oh well that's why your temps are a little on the high side if you are using a stock cooler. Obviously a better quality third party heatsink and fan would do a lot ot drop the temperature.
-
You also have no front fan in that case unless you add one.
The Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus makes for a good budget cooler.
-
@peter right i dont have a front fan
will adding that help me to get temps down? if yes then which one will be good in cooling and please suggest me according to my case
thanks
-
Yes you need a good airflow through the case to bring in cool air and then expel the hot air. This should be as smooth a transition as possible so usually it is in at the front and out at the rear/top. There are many fans to choose from, I expect as 120mm would fit your case. see here:

EDIT: I have just checked and the fan you require is a 120mm x 25mm for the front.
-
@peter right i dont have a front fan

A front fan will help but really you need a better CPU cooler.
Core temps can be higher then the CPU temp really its the CPU temp you need to not get over 60-70C.

@ peter so i think i should buy hyper 212+ or is their any better one please tell me any other option as well if it is better than hyper as their is no restriction in money but yes i m man who spends any amount on a thing only once if it is best and it will exactly fulfil my needs i m not gonna spend over that so please tell me which one will b better as per future
and i heard of a thing called TIM basically know as thermal paste when my assembler was assembling my pc he didnt put any paste kind of a thing on my processor or not on heatsink also and i asked him now he told me that it was already their on the heatsink
is this true?
well this is for my knowledge only i made my mind to buy an aftermarket cooler as per you all suggestions and i googled for images of hyper 212+ and i saw that their is TIM included in that pack so do i have to use that paste or arctic silver 5 as i m not sure that i will get silver 5 in my country but i can get it from another country if it is really worth than cooler master paste that is included
@dark please suggest me a good 120*25 fan as none of local shops has any knowledge of these things
thanks
-
Well there are many good fans on the market. From personal experience I would recommend either the Noctua NF-S12 1200 RPM or the Scythe Gentle Typhoons.
-
If its the Intel stock cooler then yes it would have had paste on the heatsink the Hyper 212 Plus (do not get Hyper 212) has some paste you have to apply
Note: clean paste off the CPU before you apply the new paste and installing the Hyper 212 Plus will mean you have to take the motherboard out to fit it if this is to much for you to do let who assembled your PC do it.
The Hyper 212 Plus is not the best or easiest to install for that the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 is easy to fit may not be as good for cooler but still better then stock. Then you have the compatibility if the cooler fit on the motherboard with heatsinks or if it blocks some ram slots or rams with tall heatsinks on them...which the Hyper 212 Plus has good compatibility for not doing that.
Sleeve Fans wear out out faster then ball-bearing ones and SSO bearing are high end stuff and then there are other types too.
Enermax Magma are good ones to go for.
-
but the problem is that people usually dont deal in these fans they dont know what this word scythe means etc the only solution to this that was newegg also got out of list as i got to know that they dont deliver goods to my country
so hyper 212+ paste is better then arctic silver 5?
ah no way i will not allow that man to assemble my pc he treated my pc like a crap it is a 1300$ pc and hey put many scrathes on my case, damaged my monitor cable then repaired it, then played 1 hour with the wires and dont know how to assemble a pc in cooler master case as he never did that earlier
damm he is nothing but s***
i will definetly get somebody other
sorry but please you explain this i didnt got much from this i mean i m not understanding the exact meaning of this

i googled and found there is also a option for water cooling do u think that i need one? i know its pretty costly but is it much better than hyper212+?
thanks
-
Firstly if there is a problem with supply I would suggest you tell us what you can obtain and we can tell you the best ones.
Watercooling. Climate wise I think it would be a good idea but against it is cost and again availability of parts. You need good quality parts if you are going to watercool safely.
Arctic Silver 5 is much better than the paste supplied with the Hyper212+.
Yes ball bearing fans are preferable but again depends if you can get them.

Never mind....

All Peter was saying was that the Freezer Pro was easier to fit than the Hyper 212 even though it wasn't as good. The other thing was that you have to make sure you have room for them without hitting the memory coolers.
-
what are memory coolers?
-
The memory coolers are the metal heatsinks that are attached to the modules. Usually aluminium fins.
-
well i have to google that
-
well i have to google that
What are you going to google? The memory coolers are just heatsinks attached to the RAM modules. They are already there in place on the memory.
-
i m damm sure ther are no coolers on my ram i saw it
i have kingston 2gbx2gb=4gb
-
If your memory doesn't have any heatsinks fitted already then there is no need to worry unless you plan to add some yourself. It is usually the higher end RAM that comes with coolers the value end don't. ;)
-
hm if u dont mind then will u please check it that cooler master hyper 212+ will fit in my case cooler master elite 335 as i dont have any knowledge about that
thanks
-
I can't see there being a problem with these two components. The Hyper212 isn't exactly massive and the only thing that might get in the way and have to be removed is the air funnel on the side of the case but it only screws on.

-
hmm right well if i move it off from my case then will it going to affect my pc in any way? i mean what is the purpose of that?
i think its for better air flow to pass the air in and out to the processor so removing that will make any affect?
-
You are correct to a point. It is to aid the smooth flow of air to the CPU heatsink but it is designed for the standard design cooler not the one you will be fitting. Trust me you won't have any need of it with a decent cooler. ;)
-
k removing and applying it again is easy?
-
I am not 100% sure how it is attached but I expect it is just four screws/bolts. Normally these types of things are easy enough to remove or replace.
I have just had a look and it is indeed four screws. ;)
