You rephrased the question so I will rephrase the answer. The reason I said it is impossible to answer is because you are asking about a severely grey area where you will find many different opinions. The IvyBridge will start to throttle itself at somewhere around 100c or so. The guy trying...

Always a bad deal to buy something only to find out there are issues with it. If you don't NEED liquid cooling, save yourself some bucks (and potential headaches) and get a decent air HSF. You don't need liquid unless you are considering a significant overclock or just wanting the cool factor...

Well, that sucks. As long as you are sure that both fans are blowing in the same direction, preferably exhausting out of the case, leave them that way. You seem to have multiple issues going on but those radiator fans MUST blow the same direction or you will have no heat removal from the liquid...

If the fans are operating as you say, that is your problem. The fan between the radiator and the case is blowing out of the case. The fan in front of the radiator is blowing inside the case- correct? You are currently experiencing <-[ ]-> while it needs to be <-[ <-[. The airflow through the...

Well, it looks like you have started to make some progress, sort of. You first reseated the cpu and had improved results but still have a problem with heat. Yes, we are only looking for temp change improvements with the bios fan setting adjustment. Did you notice any difference at all between...

Try this quick test. Go to the following area in your bios (the info below is from your mobo manual): ▶Hardware Montor Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. ▶CPU Smart Fan Target Controls CPU fan...

OK, I have another thought on this. See post below....

Since your cpu is obviously throttling, I would say your cpu IS running at the temps you are seeing.

Do you have noticeable airflow out the back, as opposed to almost none? You say it is cool- this is your problem. When the heat is being properly sucked away from the cpu, the radiator takes the warm/hot coolant and the fans suck the heat out of the radiator to send cool liquid back to the cpu...

Glad to hear your benchmarks are improving. Should be rocking once the cooling issue is worked out. As for temps, that can change from computer to computer. Here is what mine does after 6+ hours being on an air cooling in a small case with a mild overclock at full load. Also take note of the...

It appears that your speed stepping is trying to work- this is why your numbers for cpu speeds are jumping around. That is at least a good sign showing that the cpu wants to increase frequency but can't, due to heat. Do you feel warm airflow out the back of the case where your radiator fans are?

It appears that I am confusing the issue since liquid cooling has obviously changed since I was doing it 8+ years ago. I pulled up Corsair's website and notice everything is now self contained and the pump appears to be built into the heatsink. Even though your cooling is "newfangled" by my...

Let me make sure I am understanding. The system is liquid cooled, yes? Does the system have a radiator with a fan(s)? Do you know the manufacturer of the cooling system? There is a fan on the cpu cooler also? OK. I took another look at your setup on page 2 of this thread. We don't need to...

Your CPU is definitely running too hot. I wouldn't worry about Speedstep issues until the heat problem in under control. How does the water pump get it's power? Is it attached to a motherboard connection or is it attached to the power supply? After looking at your last post, some speed stepping...

You do not need to boot from the thumb drive. After OS X is booted, plug in your thumb drive and open Multibeast. On initial install, you did it right. You are only adding the plugins to your functional install with the directions I gave you. You are not wanting to reinstall anything, just...

Did you post install using multibeast? If so, you can open multibeast from your thumb drive and go ahead and install it. DO NOT click on the Quick Start tab in multibeast. Go to drivers tab>Misc- click on Fake SMC plugins and Fake SMC HW Monitor application ONLY. Then go to build tab and...

Did you install HW Monitor during the post install? If so, open hardware monitor and then run something to stress the cpu. You will see all cores show up and the speeds/temps at which they are running. When I did my first hackintosh, mine was running all 4 cores but only at 1.6GHz- I couldn't...

OP- bad idea on the motherboard and processor. The processor you listed needs an 1150 socket and the motherboard you listed is an 1155. In other words, the cpu and motherboard are not compatible with each other.

I agree with this but I would try to reseat your cooler again first. Your temps are quite excessive for a non o/c cpu, factory cooler or not. I've been running HB all afternoon. I use a SFF Shuttle case with the factory ICE cooler and 1.22v (junk bios) to run all cores at 3.8GHz. My temps are...

Your question is one that is impossible to answer. Many variables exist and no 2 computers are likely to run the same exact temps due to these variables. I will tell you that I have been running Handbrake encoding pretty much 8 hours straight on my i5. All 4 cores loaded to 100% at 3.8GHz in a...
