E6400 Temp Issue

[jasku]

Hi Guys, I am running E6400 B2 OC to 3 Ghz Vcore-1.25

Through Asus probe I get temps of 41c-43c idle and 55c-57c on load

Using Core temp

Tjunction-85c
Core0-50c Idle
Core1-50c Idle

Load -Running prime95

Tjunc-85c
Core0-76c
Core1-76c

Live in India, ambient temp about 28C
Pls let me know if these temps are normal?
Thanks in advance!

Seem a tad high , are you water cooled ?..
50c idle is too high , should least be 38c - 45

Nope, stock cooling!!

Yeah mate I'm getting similar temp issues with my new E8500. It was idling around 46C at stock, on air cooling (Tuniq Tower 120). Seemed too high, but then I realised that I was comparing my current temps with my old CPU temps, which I read using SpeedFan, and I'm now using Core Temp, and SpeedFan seems to report temps 10-15C lower than core temp, so maybe my temps aren't bad after all...

Anyway, I've heard that many of the new Wolfdales have been shipped with dodgy temp sensors and are reading temps higher than they actually are. It looks like I'm going to have to just get hold of a thermometer and see what temps I can read with that...

Jasku, your temperatures are too hot, even when adjusted to Standard Ambient at 22c. From the Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide


Section 6: Scale

Scale 5: Duo
E6x00: Tcase Max 61c, Stepping L2
E4x00: Tcase Max 61c, Stepping L2
E21x0: Tcase Max 61c, Stepping L2
X6800: Tcase Max 60c, Stepping B2
E6x00: Tcase Max 60c, Stepping B2
E6x20: Tcase Max 60c, Stepping B2

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--60--/--65--65-- Hot
--55--/--60--60-- Warm
--50--/--55--55-- Safe
--25--/--30--30-- Cool


Your computer case cooling may also be inadequate, however, a mid-range to high-end CPU cooler would solve the problem.

Demonic Goldfish, SpeedFan Beta 4.34 is correct: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

Also, from the Temp Guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide

Section 15: Troubleshooting

Notice: A significant percentage of 45 nanometer processors are being reported with defective DTS sensors, which appear as unresponsive Core temperatures, particularly at lower Scale. Excessive Offsets between Cores of as much as 8c are also being reported. Sensors can be tested using Real Temp 2.24: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2809778 Processors with defective sensors should be RMA`d. This applies to E8000, Q9000 and QX9000 series processors.

Ah thanks mate, I'll have a look at SpeedFan then
