Octopuss Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hm, so aside from the northbridge it is ok. At least something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Going to pick EP45-DS4 up tomorrow. I hope it will not get as hot due to the much better heatpipe cooling, and more importantly, that it will be capable of running at 500FSB at stock or close to stock votages. Fingers crossed...

Zenskas Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Could you try Large FFTs test in Prime95 for say 20 minutes please? That would give me some basic idea Temps after doing what you requested: System: Min-33 Max-37CPU: Min- 30 Max-45So the system temp was actually lower than while playing a game! Bear in mind it is probably cooler where I live than where you do, although like I have said I only have a very basic case and just the two 120MM 1200RPM case fans (the northbridge heatsink doesn't get a whole lot of air). Hopefully the DS4 will solve your heat worries! It does have more heatpipes and also the heatsinks themselves are far more open and do not have those good looking yet useless covers over the top.

Octopuss Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Initial OC attemps show that it sucks compared to the previous board though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
