Idle temps were running about 35c to 40c.
Hopefully Intel Haswell E when released will run abit cooler than Sandybridge E but, with it being a 8 Core cpu it might be around the same temps. |
Seriously? I think there's something pretty wrong with that setup if those are the temperatures you are getting. I've seen better heat dissipation on a 240x120mm radiator with 900RPM fans.
Hell, my single-fan air-cooler at 1100RPM does better than that... Double-hell, even my SFF (2cm high) Intel stock cooler keeps the core temp to around 65'c under load, albeit on a Haswell Xeon that probably consumes less than half the power of your (and mine) overclocked i7's.
For the record Haswell thus far hasn't turned out to be any less power hungry than Sandy or Ivy Bridge under load (sometimes even a bit higher) but is a hell of a lot more efficient at idle and produces better IPC. I wouldn't expect that equation to change much with Haswell-E.
