Cpu temp

[Guest]

Is my core2duo e6420 running too hot

CPU=75C(169F)
CORE1=54C(129F)
CORE2=54C(129F)
MOTHERBOARD=46C(115F)

these are load temps at stock clock and stock cooler

Welcome to the forums!

Use Coretemp or Realtemp to check your idle and load temps.
Under full load, your temps should be under 75°C, 54°C is perfectly acceptable.

Not sure what sensor is reporting as CPU, but your core temps are just fine given it's a stock cooler.

WAY TO HIGH!!!!!!!! Make sure the heat sink is seated correctly.

What are you smoking? those temps are fine...

Serously guys the temps are a bit high but it s a stock cooler and there withen tolerance for the chip. He is right where he is supose to be.

 

[montyuk]

if your worried about your temps (which look fine), or your thinking about overclocking it a bit, might be worth having a look round at the various third party cpu coolers.

This can also be applied to:

Which is in contrast to the next sentence:

How is 54C hot? I idle at 54C on a warm day with an aftermarket cooler :lol:

Load temps, you are fine.
What are your idle temps?

idle temp
Cpu=56c
Core1=36c
Core2=36c

That's hot but overly hot... you may want to put some Arctic Silver 5 paste on the CPU and the temps will drop about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Load up on fans also.

Wrong again, the temps are perfectly fine. Move on people

The temps are perfect, how are the temps hot? Are you expecting 26C? Temps are fine, no need to worry.

You don't know his ambient temperature. Who said everyone lives in ice-cold Alaska?

 

[Guest]

why is there such a large difference between cpu and core temp?
