Q6600 help

[honor]

Ok well i have been posting the last couple of days that i have been having heat issues running at 42c during idle...
well i dl CPU-z and this is what i got

clocks(core#0)
core Speed = 2700.4 MHz
Multiplier= X6.0
Bus speed = 450 Mhz
Rated FSB= 1800 Mhz

using Dominator DDR3 1800Mhz

What do you want to know?

well is that normal or is something wrong

Is what normal?

What heatsink, what is the ambient temperature? What is your vCore?

Zalman 9700 nt 44c idle as of now
Core Voltage 1.416v

I think that's about par.. but 2700 MHz and 1.416 vCore is an insane amount of voltage. If you have speedstep on and it's really 450x9... yea.. Back off a bit.

well my mobo is on defaults i dont get y its like this

First off, high FSB speeds and low multiplier vs high multiplier and low FSB speeds has no difference. So bring it to 9x multiplier and lower the fsb speeds.

Here's proof, read it. All of it.

Well i finally fixed the issue my pc is running stable with this new bios update Maximus Extreme BIOS 0904
1. Finetune CPU temperature detection algorithm
2. Updated CPU Level Up Module
3. Enhance memory compatibility

Im at 16c

Im at 16c

What's the ambient temp?

 

[evongugg]

16° is too low, unless you live in the arctic.
use Core Temp to measure the temperatures.
