Asus P5N-E 650i sli coretemp problems?

[jennerOc.dk]

Hellow guys.

I just got my new rig, as an update for my old pentium d system.

The setup is following

Asus P5N-E SLi with 650i chipset
Conroe E6600, stepping6 B2 with both box and zalman 9500 cooler.
2gb kingston valueram pc4300
250gb maxtor maxline3 pata133
Raptor 36gb
2 Inno3d 7900gs in SLI mode
Hiper type R 580W
Raidmax sagitta chase with 120mm fan in front, 80mm in the side and 120mm behind in the chase.

I think that makes good airflow....

But coretemp shows following temperatures when cpu running stock volt and fsb.

Box cooler - 52-55c idle and 59-62c full load
Zalman - 50c idle and 55c full load.

Can that really be true ? Omg i though the new core2 was a cool cpu ?

Hope for any help here.

I think that temps are OK, but for more sure, did you check them in BIOS?

which thermal-greaseare you using? and how about temperature of your place?

the 9500 is considered kinda small,

But aren't those temperatures high when running stock 2.4ghz at defualt 1.325v?

Bios says like 40c .. speedfan says 40c idle and 48-50c full load.

They're normal.

Shall i trust speedfan when overing then ?

Temp is abit high ...

Do not use speedfan to monitor temp.... Only use it to monitor voltage.

[jennerOc.dk]

i though so to... shall i trust coretemp no matter what ?

Sensors are likely way off on your board. No, if you're sure you have a proper mount and know how to apply Arctic Silver, you shouldn't trust Core Temp. Just another excellent feature of a crappy Asus board paired with an inexplicably worse chipset.

I can only say positive things about this board so far except that i don't trust coretemp 100 %

[sbinh]

Beside CoreTemp, I cannot find any other app. that can be trusted.... TAT cannot be used on this board (no intel chipsets).... Speedfan is absolutely not used for this (as same as Probe and BIOS do not report real core temperature) .... So, IMO, Coretemp is what you can trust for now ... ..eventhough, it reports higher temp. (around 10*C) than Speedfan,Probe II, BIOS ...
