Same as above :-\

After 6h Prime95.
Isn't nice temperatures :-(




I will searching better cooling.

I would also. Those are crazy temps for a Yonah. Those are about the same temps I'm seeing on my 6600 running at 3.6 on Air.

I'm pretty sure that chip is OVERHEATING
when a motherboard sensor shows you close to 70C that is very very bad.

Yes, it freaked me out the first day I got my P5B Deluxe, but since then I have learnt it is just calibrated closer to Core Temp than other boards..

Notes on P5B vs P5W-DH temps - why only Core Temp matters

Thanks for your program and hard work...

[Falkentyne]

Has anyone figured out why TAT's temps are identical to coretemps at idle (on Asus P5wdh) but at load, Core temp is up to 4c higher (In dual prime, at least; in most 'real world' programs, its usually just 1-2c higher than TAT)?

If both coretemp and TAT are measuring the exact same diode, why does coretemp report up to 4C higher, but only at max load ?

This was asked a few pages back and then seemed to fall to the wayside...

[The Coolest]

I still have no clue why that happens.

I have a question having just moved to w/c... my temps as per coretemp have decreased significantly. I am much more comfortable with my temperatures now, stable where I have not been before, alot more headroom etc.

However - although coretemp's core 1 + 2 max out at 50c (heaviest load, opteron 165 ccbwe 0551 upmw.... I know ) my motherboard (epox 9NPA+SLI)'s "CPU" temp reading has started reaching 67c, whereas previously it has stuck fairly close to the temps given by coretemp, often slightly below.

I was wondering whether this would be because the lesser airflow around the mobo sensor with the move to watercooling from air? I mean mobo sensors are like a best guess I suppose, but still...

And most importantly, do you guys think I should be concerned about this?

Thanks

1) I was wondering whether this would be because the lesser airflow around the mobo sensor with the move to watercooling from air? I mean mobo sensors are like a best guess I suppose, but still...

1) spot on!
2) if there is no airflow around the PWM area , you might be getting instabilities due to overheating of that area and fluctuation voltage levels

Good point... dammit I was trying to move away from fans!

I'll try and fashion a method of getting a fan to send some air in that direction... This board already has 0.1v vdroop from idle to two cores fully loaded (measured with DMM from measuring points on motherboard)... so I don't really want to increase that sort of thing to be honest Gotta get that vdroop mod done dammit... just such tiny legs to solder to!

Also, really nice to see 49c 35W removed from core temp as tcasemax... makes me feel much more comfortable about things... still want to keep it sub 50c... so pointless question really but... do you think the absolute, ball-breaking (stress testing) max should be 65c as per AMDs docs? Or am I talkin out my ass? (yes, I have a small horse out the back )

Build is:
M2N32-SLI Deluxe
AMD 4200+ X2 Windsor
EVGA 7900 GT
2 GB Corsair XMS 6400
OCZ 600W PSU

For a while I was using v0.91 and didnt really put the 2 together, but occasionally my computer would just shut off, usually when alt tabbing between apps. I could run prime95 all night, folding@home all day, rthdribl etc. with heat not being the problem.

So a few days ago I tried v0.93 and within 20 seconds computer just turns off. So I tried using it again. Only this time the program wont run for more then 5 seconds and gives some weird error message(sorry I didnt write it down). Now since then it seems to run ok except fot the fact that when I do anyting requiring cpu load and having core temp running computer just turns off. This is the only program that causes this.

Oh and one night I left core temp on. In the morning my temps were 50C on both cores and core temp was using alot of cpu time in task manager.

[The Coolest]

hmmm.
Well first of all this is in the wrong thread :p
Try to disable temperature logging in settings, see if that does anything.

What is the verdict here? What is the Tj(max) for a E6600? I can find it for other processors, but not the 4 MB cache Core 2 Duo line.

This...
http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html
... indicates you can read Tj(max) out of the processor. Anybody knows how that works?

But I cannot find anything about that in manual 3 for the Core2Duo's. They say look it up in the processor spec, but the processor spec only gives a table (table 28, figure 18), ending at 65 watts and 60.1 C. (31327802.pdf)

It's labeled "Tc". Is that supposed to be Tj(max) for the E6600?

If so, did they really give up on even reporting temps above 60 C?

P.S. I have Linux code to read the digital temperature sensor. It works, I am just not sure what the reference point is supposed to be.

[jimwhite]

in "chip" jargon, Tc is T case...

TCaseMax is different from Tjunction.
TCaseMax refers to the maximum temperature between the CPU (core or IHS, depending on config) and the heatsink.
TjunctionMax refers to the maximum temperature between the CPU core and the PCB of the CPU.
That is why its a much higher number than the TCaseMax.

Hi.
I have a Problem with coretemp:

My CPU: Allendale e6300 ES Step4 B0.
(Overclocked @ 2,8GHz @ default Vcore)
My Board: Asus P5W DH Deluxe SN66...
I am using a very good watercooling setup and coretemp reports 75 degrees @ idle and 87 degrees @ load.

Also the "Tjunction" is 100 degrees and not 85 degrees.

Because I thought my cooler fitted not perfect I reinstalled it 3 times but the temps don't change at all.

So is this a bug or is the temperature really that high??

Thx 4 help!

What does TAT report?

[ea6gka]

i have a slightly different problem , TAT and CT give me the same numbers BUT the cores have a Temp difference in idle and load modes , have a look



any ideas are welcomed

[HugeXL]

What does TAT report?

Same temps as CoreTemp, 75@idle and 86@load

[saboya]

CoreTemp doesn't work in Vista =/

Some would say it could be a problem with the mount or a thermal compound destribution issue.

Well, its a B0, their readings are usually messed up and there's not much I can do about it. just try to substract the 15C off the temps that you get.

Read this about how to get it to work in Vista.

The link didn't work for me, but I tried to run with admin rights and it worked (doh)

under or over the HeatSpreader?? . cause i have remounted my heatsink and i still get the same teps. damn it

Its the same with mine . But when both cores are loaded the gap closes. At first I thought I did a bad lapp job...this wasn't the case.

Version 0.94 - 16th November, 2006
- Fix: Temperature log file not created in EXE folder.
- Fix: Temperature log file left "Processor" field blank.

- Add: An actual icon for the EXE/System tray.
- Add: An option to display temperature in Fahrenheit.
- Add: An option to start Core Temp minimized.

- Change: Only list physical processors in CPU selection.
- Change: Improve Intel CPU detection.

- Remove: GCPUID button.

Older versions

I know that many of you have expected to see a system tray icon that would display CPU temps.
I'm just way too busy to get any work done lately, I started some course so its work then come home and do homework.
Next release should have an OSD display if I can get it working quickly enough.
Hope you like the update, Intel users will get better CPU recognition and Revision detection.

[phile]

Your work is very much appreciated. Cheers!

-phil

P.S. I dig the new icon.
