I have just acquired a Core2Duo E6700 2.66Ghz from eBay, Iam using it in a Foxconn 45GM motherboard, Iam using an Arctic Freezer Pro cooler which has been great previously getting my 90nm Pentium 4 3Ghz down to 30-35'c idle
when I got it running with the E6700 (idle at 1.6Ghz and idle at 2.6Ghz) it seemed that the following temperatures are given...
1.6Ghz - 2.6Ghz
RealTemp = 49'c - 57'c
Core Temp = 43'c - 52'c
Speedfan = 39'c - 48'c
I have re-sit the CPU and cooler again and got same results...
which one do I trust?
is it possible the E6700 has been damaged from Overclocking?
EDIT: right now Iam using SpeedFa in tray and its reporting 42'c idle - when i leave in BIOS its 39'c-40'c flipping between the two, the fan is up from 1300 to 1500 as it kicks in at 35'c... seems speedfan is about right... the fan isnt speeding up so cant be 50'c - still, 42'c is a little high for my liking...
thanks
