Q9550 Temperatures

[chozandrias76]

I was thinking about overclocking my computer (via watercooling) but I am a little hesitant because of my core temperatures. I am wondering if I should re-seat my water block before I do. I just need to know if these temps are safe when not under load.

 

[boulard83]

can you show a real IDLE temp vs 100% load ?

Read when its 0% load, then load with prime95 or something and read temp.

I would tell those temps are OK depand on your room temp.

Sorry about that

Any feedback would be appreciated. I am on watercooling btw.

At idle you're 15-20c lower than mine.

 

[chozandrias76]

I'm just thinking that each core should be the same temperature

I'm just thinking that each core should be the same temperature

If each core used sensors which had identical error margins and were calibrated identically; if each core had the same pressure against a perfectly uniform IHS (on both sides mind you); if the sky was pink and green, then yes they would be the same.

If you ever achieve that then please share!, no seriously I have never had all cores the same temp and I'm pretty sure that we're not alone.

@Mousemonkey
Your idle is lil high ? what about room temp ?

@ OP
With these temp your good for a nice OC

 

[Mousemonkey]

Room temp 25-27c.

 

[boulard83]

Room @ 24-25

My flat is an icebox in the winter and an oven in the summer, it's about 20c outside at the moment inside is 25.5c with all the windows and doors open.

What did you have as cooling Monkey ?

What did you have as cooling Monkey ?

A cheap and cheerful AC7 Pro, as I have no intention or need to OC I feel that it's perfectly adequate.

Okidoki !

Christ that is warm mousemonkey.

Only a little above the ideal temp of 23C. It's warm but not hot. 15C in my room right now, idling at 37C after having the PC on for about 10 minutes, but will probably go to ~42C.

That's heaps good!

Here in Blighty our average summer temp is 14-15c anything over that is heatwave :lol: , I doubt I could handle a HOT summer in Aus.

You couldn't handle 43C? Pansy!

Yep, make you right on that! :lol:
