As i said in my earlier post... i975x boards seem much more cooler than the 965 ones does. This cant be a coincidence... there must be a bug in the 965 temp monitors or some voltage thing that really make them warmer. But I doubt that, coz everyone(me included) have tested with their hands/fingers, and no one can feel any heat from the coolers, if you compare to other cpu´s which really are at 40-50c warm, then you can feel the heat when touching the cooler. So this should be reported to Intel or the mobo vendors???!

CPU: E6400 Retail
Clock: Stock @ 2.13
Voltage: Stock @ ~1.18
Motherboard: P5B Deluxe
BIOS: 0502
Heatsink: Thermalright SI-128
Fan: Scythe S-FLEX E @ 1200 RPM
Idle/Load: 37c/55c (Core Temp) - 44c/63c (PC Probe II)
Ambient: ~22c

I really hope that Core Temp is right in this instance and PC Probe is wrong. I reseated my heatsink once already and nearly snapped my board in half trying to get it on. Is 37c/55c normal for a stock 6400 with my heatsink and fan? I'm really afraid to overclock my chip until I figure out what's up.

Whats up guys? this is the Xtreme Systems fourm, ive never seen sooo many people running at stock vcore. Everyone must still be afraid of frying their new conroes But even on the intel supplied heatsink and fan i think you would be safe to bump it up to at least 1.4?. Most of you guys are running water and a couple are most likley even running phase and still as i was reading thru the list it was vcore=stock or vcore=1.28. you guys went out and bought the hemi and your driving it arround like an old lady going to church

Now guys look here - this is idle. Core nr 1 is much hotter than core nr 2. Strange, isn't it? Is suppose the cores should have pretty much the same temperature but they don't. The cooling is scythe ninja and a 920RPM 120mm fan. The mobo is Gigabyte DQ6. The temperature of the first core is simply horrible. Running prime means 62/58 celcius (first/second core). I had lower temperatures with a E6700ES@3.1GHz

OT can anyone upload somewhere their Gigabyte Easytune from a CD which you got with your DS3/4/DQ6 mobo as the version downloaded from the gigabyte website doesn't work with my DQ6. My CD was lost in action. I don't want to tell ou how it had happened, but I've got to teach my dog not to eat/bite my CDs

[HaZe303]

Mach82, i dont think youre core´s are so hot as the programs tell you. Im 99.9% positive that there is some temp bug in either p965chips or in the combo Conroe+965. Because if you look at other people´s posts here on this thread, you see that people with 965 have much higher temps than those with i975x mobo´s!!?? Why is that..

[mascaras]

my temps are very low no??? (16c/17c at night and 23/24c during the day)

my temps are very low no??? (16c/17c at night and 23/24c during the day)

I don't know. Are these good temps? Run ORTHOS or dual SP2004 (load both cores) for 30 minutes and tell us your temps. Also, what does Core Temp read?

Data. Data. And more data. Please?

And your running ?

I actually added more AS5 to the cpu die and droped 7c off my load temps. I took the sink off the cpu to find over half of it was not even touching the die due to it being uneven. The problem with a "little is a lot" is if the cpu die is uneven, then the heatsink will not touch some of it. By adding abit more AS5 you fill in the gaps. You could lap it but that would kill your warranty

Well i made the mistake and bought the fireconn motherboard that wouldnt let you change the vcore. there where adjustments in bios but they wouldnt make any difference in the actual voltage the cpu receives. So i did the conroe conductive ink vcore mod on the processor and jacked it up to 1.54v ran really well for about 1/2 hr untill my fireconn digital voltage regulator module self destructed so right now im running 0.0 vcore untill my new mohterboard arrives on monday Im not the only one whos had the fireconn catch fire do a search for foxconn theres another poor guy whos caught fire while he was UNDERvolting

i have a quick question, my temps are said to be as high as 64C on my Gigabyte 965P-S3 and thats when im torturing it with both cores. is that way too high? what am i doing wrong. and the other odd thing, im running at 1.36v and im getting this, wtf? and this is on a e6300 with stock fan and artic silver, clocked at 2.2ghz

[aggybong]

Mine is hitting 78\79 with 1.35v actual Vcore at 3.2ghz. I haven't hit any speed throttling yet, so there isn't a reason to worry as long as it's stable.

What irks me is that the Heatsink isn't even warm and I know it's making good contact

[adamant415]

E6400 @ 2.67 settles in at 59 degrees celcius after hours of dual prime. I will see if it reports higher with the p5b deluxe i will have in tomorrow. I hope to get a higher overclock out of the p5b though. I was running at 2.8 and ended up getting a prime failure at about 4 hours in. I want 3.2 or higher 12 hours stable.

[leejsmith]

asus p5wdh with E6600 1.51v 380fsb.
ninja cooler with stock fan.
i used coretemp and speed fan to collect this data.
the diffeance from ai booster and core temp is quiet large.

dual prime 95 generates a lot of heat but as you can see nothing else comes close. I dont have the data to show but autogk xvid encoding is still 7-8C lower in temps than dual prime 95.



it's not clear but the yellow temp line is from the motherboard probe read in speed fan.

I was getign really crappy temps when i was over clocking on my strom water block. I was geting 62 load at 350 FSB at 1.40V. I couldnt get it stable over 350. I took off my block last night and notives about 40% of the chip wasnt making contact with the block. I cleaned the chip and noticed that 2 of the corners of the heat spreader were raised quite a bit. I have never seen a heat spreader this bad. I have never lapper a heat spreader. But i decided what the heck i have never used my warantee before (knock on wood).

I started wet sanding the heatspreader. It took me almost 10 minutes of sanding with 600 grit to get to the point where i was actually sanding the center of the heatspreader. I started to see some copper showing in the corners so i started using 1000 then 1500 then 2000 grit.

I reseated everything. and booted up and my idle temps were 4 degrees C lower and my loaded were about 8 degrees C lower.

I cracked up the volts to 1.5 and primed it at 390 and my temps were at 59 degrees. I couldnt even boot this high before.

So if you are geting high temps i would look at your chips heatspreader. If you dont want to lap it then extra AS5 might be your ticket.

[aggybong]

All this warranty talk makes me wonder...has anybody actually used it? I've never had a chip just die on me. It either works out of the box and continues to work or it arrives DOA.

... fireconn ...

... And you call yourself Xtreme ... Though you do get credit for doing the pin mod

it took me about 30' to realize the same
crappy hsf
1000grit paper and chrome auto polish paste to the rescue...
i didn't bother testing that thing before lapping
so no temp measurements for comparison from me...

but the difference was made quite obvious
when i was able to run S&M @3500 - 1.55V on a Zalman 9500 with Tamb~30c

I just got my P5B deluxe WiFi motherboard working and started it up. First thing I did was go into BIOS to see temps. This is the BIOS shipped with the board (have not flashed yet), I believe it is 3020 or something. Also I've only got the stock heatsink on the E6400 for now to make sure everything is in line. With this setup my CPU temps in BIOS were 45C and I believe motherboard temps were in the 32C range. My room temperature is about 72F-74F which is 22C-23C. I'm doing this from memory right now since I'm currently installing windows.

Does anyone know if those temps seem about right for stock heatsink?

[rpg711]

i underclocked my p-4 to 1 mhz and nothing worked...
its funny to underclock ur stuff to 1mhz
like vid card, put at 1/1... screen went all screwed up lol
