Q6600 Coretemp

[nkarasch]

Im on XP 32-bit right now and Coretemp is telling me I am between 30-36 degrees under about a 1/4 load. Is this normal? Thats like room temperature, what the heck?

I installed it with the stock HSF and Arctic Silver 5, are temps that low bad?

Are you running the latest coretemp? the beta ver works for Q6600 correctly.

 

[nkarasch]

Which version is newest? I cant seem to find an official site for it on google

 

[nkarasch]

I have 0.96.1

For running all 4 cores at max for max temps. 65C is okay for a quad at 20 min into the test. Ohh small FFTs test for max test for temps.

And newest coretemp is 0.95.4, works on quads properly. The site is curently moving, so you'll have to find somewhere else to DL it.

You should be at least a few degrees above ambient, do you have powersaver (generic term) on in your bios which underclocks your quad when no ompfff is needed?

0.96.1? Wow I'm behind the times, but I only have a E6600.

After reading the Prime 95 forums maybe Orthos is a better choice to try for temps under load. I run 33-39 with a OC E6600 2.4 to 3.3 and pumped CPU volts.

Hey I thought Tjunction for Core 2 Quads was 85C but Coretemp is saying 100C

what should it say?

 

[Evilonigiri]

It should be 100C.

Thanks a lot, I couldnt get prime to use over 30% of my CPU

Does orthos work for quads?

 

[Conumdrum]

Yep, 100C for a quad. In the 50's for a dual like mine are good, 60's are acceptable for a quad. No more diff than 9C between cores, if they are do a reseat, but don't freak on it too much. Wait till ya see what your temps do on a stock HS. Thermalright 120 Extreme is in your future or summin lke that..................

Prime95 is better, cause it's less of a hassle.

You probably have an old copy of Prime95 which would require you to run 4 instances, one for each core. Try Prime95 25.5, it will stress all four cores.

oh my wait till you stress it at 100%....those numbers will climb substantially.
