My New Rig and First Build. Post-Build Questions
So pulled the trigger upgrading from my old Dell XPS 410 e6400. Wow what a difference in performance. Build went good just had trouble mounting the damn CPU kuhler its quite tricky and I was afraid of damaging somehing in the process.
So I got a few question, it seems my 3rd core is runing about +10C hotter than the 1st, and around 5C-7C then the 2nd and 4th. I read that differences in temp can vary on the cores but if its 10C I may need to repply the thermal paste. Since it was not evenly spread? Is this true? I got some artic silver 5 but I used the one that came preapplied on the cpu cooler. Right now runing on 4.38GHz OCed planing on trying to ge to 5.0 will it be possible with my cooler?
CPU - Intel i7 2600k @4.38GHz
CPU Cooler - Antec Kuhler 920
Memory - 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz (@1666MHz dunno why?)
Mobo - ASUS P8P67 Pro Rev 3.0
Video Card - eVGA GTX 570 HD DS (800MHz/1950MHz OC)
HD - 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
PSU - Corsair HX850W Pro Series Modular
Case - Antec 902 V3
CD/DVD Drive - ASUS DRW
Here some pics.
All the boxes, felt like christmas
Test Build Yay it posted
And Finished!
