Accuracy of E4300 temps

[N7SC]

Looking at the Intel specs for the E4300 vs the E6xxx series processors, I have noted that in the "Notes" section of the specs, the E6xxx processors have an entry that says "These parts have Tdiode enabled." The E4300 does not.

Further, the very useful temp guide that has been posted on this form points out that the E4300 reports temps that are off by +15 deg. C. Could this be because the E4300 does not have the on-die thermal diode enabled and temp monitoring software must extrapolate the chip's temp?

If so, and if one wanted to overclock moderately, but simultaneously insure the greatest possible reliablity, then choosing an E6600 would be a better choice, wouldn't it? From the stand point that with an E6600, one could more accurately monitor the chip temp, for reliability's sake.

Although the E4300 is supposeded to be a better OCr due to the lower FSB, for the sake of a few extra dollars the E6xxx series is the one I would buy, especially that the E6320 is out soon

The E4300 is realy a type of Celeron cpu ie. lower performance version of the E6xxx series - only jokeing :lol:

Celeron's are awesome. Don't be hatin'.

To be fair, my company bought a crapload of laptops with Celeron chips. They run great, quiet, and probably have enough power in them to suite at-work needs for the next decade.

Hope not. I got the E4300 as its was supposed to be a better overclocker due to higher multiplier i thought. Arse.

Oh well, i only have ddr1 3200 memory at the moment so that'll be why its a bit sluggish at the moment
