Core 2 Duo System Temps

[ex_reven]

Me and my mate Pinchy have:
Intel E6400
Asus P5B Deluxe
G.Skill 800mhz
X1950Pro

Our C2D is overclocked from 2.1 to 3Ghz
Is it just us? Or do these temps seem a little hot?

Please post your specs and your temps where possible

Are these full load temps?

Idle

 

[DOM]

1.46v thats to much just for 3GHz i can use 1.35v for 3GHz i would show you some pics but my widows open its cold outside and well im at 1.55v cpu idle at 23C at 3760GHz per PC Probe

 

[ex_reven]

Idle

...

35 - Mobo
47 - CPU
38 - GPU
39 - GPU Ambient
34 - Harddrive

(For the convenience of all those who cbf looking at attachment lol)

bios is set to AUTO for voltages atm so i dunno why itd be so high then

maybe its our coolers as well, Thermaltake Blue Orb II

 

[Lazzer408]

6600 o/c to 3.5ghz Idle temps

 

[DOM]

well i dont know anything about those cooler but if i where you i would set it at 1.35v and it should be stable maybe with less but if you oc the cpu its going to up the volts to much so set it in the bois im sure it would drop maybe 10c

nice, ours are shite compared
and i doubt BOTH of us put too much AS5 on...

il try dropping to 1.35 and check temps

Then that's not right. What is the default on a 6400 is it? 1.2v?

1.325 will be default.

 

[DOM]

its would work cuz the max fom intel says 1.3525V so if a X6800 can do 2.93 GHz with less i think you should get your 6400 at 3GHz 1.35v or less

 

[ex_reven]

ok i dropped to 1.3 volts heres the reading

5 Degree drop...

BTW - All these readings are in a 23 Degree, air conditioned environment

 

[Pinchy]

Mine are actually higher than Revens, but im not in air con, and i presume his case does a better job than mine

 

[ex_reven]

im now on 40 Degrees. Just sitting at about that level but i guess it would be +/- a few degrees depending on the sensor

 

[Pinchy]

Hmmm...my motherboard is also at 49*C...i think im gonna b lowering a lot of voltages

 

[DOM]

yea you guys need to set them its better, so you know how much there getting try them at there lowest like for the NB, SB, and the mem put it at there stock voltage

if you need anymore help let me know since we got the same mobo, cpu

 

[Deleted member 24505]

my 6300 is at 1.325vcore at 500fsb,ram at 2.3vmem and all other voltages at auto.my temps on core temp ranged from 33-34c idle to 40-43c idle depending on the heating.

 

[Lazzer408]

What I did was crank up my voltages first then started maxing out my clocks till the point of instability then set the clocks back to stable then started lowering the voltages one at a time so I could find out the minimum voltages required for stable opperation. My northbridge for example is all the way down to it's minimal setting of 1.5v and the fsb voltage is only .1v higher then the minimum setting of 1.2v. $.02

 

[ex_reven]

can i ask
what do the different voltages do?
i know what vcore is
what is nb and sb?

 

[ex_reven]

OH Dw...

just figured it out myself lol *stupiiiid*

 

[ex_reven]

NB at 1.25
and
SB at 1.05

according to everest

 

[Pinchy]

LMAO...glad u worked it out

I couldnt get 1.35 Vcore stable in BIOS, i needed it at 1.3750, although in everest its saying its at 1.34V.

NB is at 1.45V in BIOS and SB at 1.6, yet everest says they are: NB 1.25 and SB 1.05

Temps on the CPU went down from 57*C to 50-51*C, motherboard is still the same at 48*C (cant lower mobo voltages or gfx card only uses 1 lane )

Still a little hot IMO. I might re-mount the CPU fan and turn it around so i can add the ASUS NB cooler fan
