Finding Tcase/Tjunction if TAT doesn't work
Last response: in Overclocking
I'm currently running this CPU + mobo setup:
E6400 @ 2.8ghz (stock cooling/stock vcore)
Biostar Tforce 965pt
I've been trying to find my Tcase/Tjunction temps, but TAT doesn't work with my motherboard.
What I'm confused about is my speedfan readings:
@ Idle
I don't have a load pic, but I can get one later on. At first, I thought temp2 was my Tcase temp because it was ~15 less than my core temps, however at load, temp2 doesn't change, temp1 (the lower one) changes to ~60 and tjunction is ~65.
So I figured that temp1 was my Tcase temp and is offset by ~10 degrees. However, my BIOS CPU temp is ~40 and if this was the Tcase temp, then that would mean my Tjunction is offset by ~10 degrees and idling at 55 degrees!
I'm just curious as to which would be the correct Tcase/Tjunction setting? Or am I totally off about everything I said?

If you test your system using the "Alternate Test" and list the "Results" and "Variables" as shown in the Core 2 Duo Temperature Guide, then I can analyze your temps.

Thanks a lot for the help
Variables
Ambient = 20c (That's what the thermostat in the room says, I don't know if that's what ambient temp means)
Chipset = P965
C2D = E6400
CPU Cooler= Stock Cooler
Frequency = 2.8 Ghz
Load = Orthos (Small FFT) @ 10 minutes
Motherboard = Biostar Tforce 965PT
Vcore = 1.225
Results
@Idle (Using Speedfan)
Temp2: 32
Temp3: 34
Temp1: 40
Core 0: 44
Core 1: 44
@Load (Using Speedfan)
Temp2: 33
Temp3: 64
Temp1: 40
Core 0: 70
Core 1: 70

Your load temps (Temp 3 / Core 0 / Core 1) are obviously too high with Orthos, and would be even 5c higher with TAT. Also, since your Delta is 26 - 30c, (Idle to Load spec = 25c), this typically indicates a CPU cooler which is improperly seated, a concave Integrated Heat Spreader, and / or inadequate computer case cooling.
Please check your system for these known problems, then re-test.
