Q6600 Coretemp

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?

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

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?

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.

It should be 100C.

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..................

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.
