Cool, the order has shipped now. I hope tomorrow I can let you know the results.
Hi Mick,
After installing the new cooler with the included thermal paste the temperatures of the CPU are still high.
I have tried to document this as much as possible.
When I removed the stock cooler the previous thermal compound (sent by you) seems to have had a good coverage.
I then applied the thermal compound supplied with the Akasa Venom Pico. Perhaps a bit too much but I wanted to make sure it wasn't that I had not put enough last time.
Then installed the cooler, making sure all pins where pushed and it was secured.
After putting back the memory and GPU I re-run the tests with OCCT, the new version stops pushing the CPU when it hits 87c so that's as far as it got. It reached that temperature in about 53 seconds, the test sits idle for 1 minute. You can see the max and min temperatures in the screen shots below.
Below some screens of the BIOS settings (these are the settings that were left by the scan RMA tester). It took me about 1 minute to take the pictures and in that time the temperature rose from 30c to 50c just on the BIOS screen. You can see the temperature in two BIOS screens, M.I.T. current status.
I haven't even got as far as run the computer properly since I got it back as the temperature is so high on the cpu. Did the tester checked the cpu temperature? It would be great if you had some data either way.
What is your suggestion to move this forward? Send the whole computer to scan? Any things I should try?
Apologies for the long post, as you can imagine I just want to get this issue behind me and the pc problems resolved.
Cheers,
Emilio.
