If that does not work, maybe you could remove the screw and springs from your new heatsink.Įdit - Here is an example of the temps. Those stands in the Dell motherboard look like they should be easily removable. He is also been a regular on the Dell Workstation Owner's Club forum. He started a thread about overclocking X58 CPUs in the Dell T3500 and similar desktop motherboards. If you are still set on mounting the cooler you have, try contacting Retrorockit on the TechPowerUp forum. It was not necessary to run it at the full 12 V to keep the CPU cool. I used an old Antec case fan which I hooked up so it was running at 7 V instead of 12 V. A fan less heatsink was a nice design goal for office workers but not really a wise design choice for enthusiasts. When stress testing, strapping a fan onto the OEM cooler quickly dropped temps by ~35☌. That is Intel's recommended safe maximum core temperature. ![]() ![]() These CPUs do not use AVX instructions so that makes for less heat output and much lower temperatures compared to modern CPUs, especially when stress testing with Prime95. What CPU core temps are you hitting? The X5675 cannot be overclocked so it will run cooler than the W3680 that I had in my T3500.
