hello, i read this thread:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/foru [...] ture-guide
and it according to CPUZ my E6750 has stepping of "B" and revision of "G0",
i didn't find on the thread a max temp for this stepping, can you please explain to me what it is?
i would also like to ask for a program i can view the cpu temp while i m in a game i such exist.
thanks ahead.

Hello and welcome to the forums mate

Any thing higher than 70c is high IMO
Also for checking the CPU temp, Coretemp is a good software

thank Mzaiar, can you also recommend me of a good benchmark or a torture test for the cpu?
i tried Virtual dub but it doesn't max the cpu and prime95 doesn't work on vista.

No problem mate glad i could help u and thats Maziar

OCCT is a good software which takes less time than other softwares to test and its a very useful app:

Orthos is also a good software

guynaa, you missed it. From Section 6 of the Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide, second processor variant from the bottom (E6x50):


Section 6: Scale

Scale 1: Duo
E7200: Tcase Max 74c, Stepping M0,TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E4700: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping G0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E4x00: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping M0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E2xx0: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping M0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E8x90: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping C0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E8x00: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping C0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E6x50: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping G0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W
E6540: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping G0, TDP 65W, Idle 8W

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--70--/--75--75-- Hot
--65--/--70--70-- Warm
--60--/--65--65-- Safe
--25--/--30--30-- Cool


(1) Remember that Intel's Processor Spec Finder - http://processorfinder.intel.com/d [...] Spec=SLA9V - shows the Thermal Specification for Tcase, and NOT Tjunction, so don't confuse CPU temperature (Tcase) with Core temperatures (Tjunction). The Scale shown above illustrates the proper relationship between CPU temperature and Core temperatures.

(2) If you've tested your temperatures with Prime95 Small FFT's, then regardless of what games you run, your temperatures will never approach the 100% workload temperatures of Prime95, so it's unnecessary to monitor in-game processor temperatures.

(3) The most accurate temperature utility available for monitoring Core temperatures only, is Real Temp 2.6 - http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ - which is more accurate than the popular utility Core Temp. Read the Real Temp documentation - http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/docs.php - to understand what Real Temp does differently than other utilities, and why it's more accurate.

I forgot to post Comp's solid guide

thanks!
cant believe i didn't notice that.

No problem mate glad i could help u

Would someone be able to provide me with a good program to monitor a Pent D 940 DC. The NVidia program that I am using has bugged on me and will not reinstall appropriately.

CoreTemp,Everst,Speedfan are good softwares to monitor the temps

News Flash!!! Core Temp has been bested by Real Temp!!! Anyone else out there who didn't get the memo already?

The ever popular Core Temp and Everest, (which import Tjunction Max values from mobile Core 2 variants), have been proven inaccurate by the research and testing involved in the developement of Real Temp, and the validation performed by others, who have reliable inside information from Intel.

Only SpeedFan, when calibrated using my Temp Guide, (which does not use Tjunction Max values to achieve accuracy), will be within 3c, which also validates Real Temp, since Core temperatures will then coincide within a degree or two of one another in both programs.

Although SpeedFan has included calibrations for quite some time, only after Real Temp recently gained favor has Core Temp and Everest jumped on the calibration band wagon. Core Temp 0.99 is OK... if you use Real Temp to calibrate it!

Use the link I've provided in the last paragraph of my above post, read the Real Temp documentation, and understand why Core Temp should now be barely visible in your rear view mirror!

If you're still not convinced, then read all 66 pages and 1639 posts in the Real Temp thread over at Xtreme Systems - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] p?t=179044

coretemp dont work with the PD CPUs

But he has a Core2Duo processor(I have an E6600 and it works fine with mine)
