8IK1100 Rev 2 CPU Temps/Voltage Problems
Hello all, hoping for some help.
I just upgraded my 848 based Intel board to the Gigabye 8IK1100, Rev 2.0. My hardware is as follows: 8IK1100 Rev 2, Bios FG (latest) 4x512mb Infineon Cas 2.5 DDR 400 (dual) 120gb Seagate IDE (Baracuda V) 400W Fortron/Source Power supply P4 2.8 Northwood (800 bus) Sony 4x DVDRW Sony 16x DVDROM Nvidia 5200 Ultra Video Card Zalman 7000 heatsink/fan My issue is that the 2.8 has been running very very hot. I've made sure that the CPU heatsink/fan is securely fastened and working fine. This same cpu and memory were running in the on the 848 board in the same case at 40 deg cel but after changing the motherboard I am seeing 50 deg + cel (up to 60 under load). The box also isn't as stable as it was... The ram, board, bus, etc timings are all 100% stock (ie. no overclocking) and CIA is off. After much investigation I found that all utilities in windows (ie sandra) show the CPU getting way too much voltage -- like 1.6 instead of 1.525. I lowered the cpu voltage setting in the bios about 4 or 5 notches below "default" and now I'm seeing the correct voltage in Windows (1.525) and lower temps that are more within reason (45-50 deg cel at full load, 35 idle) Has anyone else seen this on the 8ik1100? it's very odd!! I had first tried a 3.2 gig Prescott on this board and could not get it stable and cool....I thought it was because of the Prescott's new design (well known for major heat)...now I wish I hadn't sold it because this might have been the root cause. Appreciate ya'alls insight. Z |
