Hi All,
I have recently decided to overclock my e6850, I have taken it from 3.0 to 3.7GHz. All seems ok I guess however I am a little confused with the temperature reading I am getting.
System Info
MB: EVGA 680i
CPU: Intel e6850 3GHz
RAM: 4Gb 800MHz
Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
At stock speeds I get the following:
Considering I am using an aftermarket cooler don’t these seem a little on the high side?
Same setup overclocked to 3.7GHz I get the following:
Now the temps do not seem to have jumped that much from stock however in reading I believe some people will view these temps as out of the 'comfort zone'.
In addition why are the core temp results from Real Temp (67) and Core Temp (72) so different when they are both suppose to be a core reading?
I have read on Intel’s site that the e6850 operating temperature is 72 degrees c there for I guess even though these are high it should not damage the cpu, also considering that rarely should the CPU have long stints at 100% under normal operation (right/wrong?).
Basically I am a little confused and have been unable to find the answers to my questions by 'google'ing it'
A: Why am I so hot a stock speeds? (cooler installation fine as far as I can ascertain)
B: Why the difference between the two temp monitoring tools, which one should I trust?
C: Why in reading does the general consensus be that you should not exceed 65 degrees when Intel state the CPU it good for 72?
Thanks for reading...
