which temp is correct?

[noktekniq]

Full load


idle


which temp prog is right?
i have the e6300!

batch # is Q648A289
if that makes any difference

[Cracker]

I'd go with TAT in this case.

[noktekniq]

I'd go with TAT in this case.

why would you choose tat over coretemp in this case?

[Drag]

maybe you should read out the bios

[Bail_w]

lol reading out the bios is completely a joke. My bios reading was 24 degree idle while TAT and core temp read it as 34 degree.

Strange for them to be different with an E6300. With an E4300 I'd expect it

I'd go with TAT,
a) because for air cooling it looks more realistic
b) it's the highest so it's safer to use the higher temp

[Gam3Ra]

Your E6300 is real Allendale and Core Temp is not updated for he. For now use TAT

[noktekniq]

so allendale reads low on coretemp? basically this means that i have to use TAT? DARN i thought my temps were good on idle. too bad

[Super strokey]

is it normal for 2 cores on an x2 to read 10 degrees in temp differently in coretemp? Cause thats whats happening to me at the moment and i dont know why it so different

i dont' think coretemp was used for x2

[noktekniq]

anyone with more info and further readings?

[nealh]

there is a newer version of coretemp 0.94 beta

[noktekniq]

huh? aren't i using the 0.94 beta?

Here's some interesting numbers.

I have an E6400 but I dropped the multi down to 7 and set the FSB to 422 MHz to simulate your setup. I also set it so CPU-z was reporting 1.312 volts at idle and 1.288 volts while under load running Orthos.

Room temperature when I started was 13C in my basement when I started this test and went up to 14C when I ran the idle test. This is just slightly cooler than your room temperature of 60F (~15C ).

Using CoreTemp & Speedfan the temps under load went as high as 52C and then settled out at about 50C. Idle temp was reported as 20C.

The biggest difference between our setups is the heatsink and fan. Your Zalman 9700 significantly outperforms my Intel OEM heatsink and fan so your temps should be cooler than this and they are. If my computer was operated at your room temperature then my load temp would probably be about 53C. Your load temp of about 47C with a much better cooler makes perfect sense.

Anandtech did a review of the Zalman 9700. On an X6800 at 2.93 GHz their load temp dropped by 20C from 56C to 36C and their Idle temp went from 41C to 28C. Knowing this, it's possible that after you properly apply some AS5 and give it time to setup, your CoreTemp readings might even decrease a few degrees.

While experimenting I've seen CoreTemp readings of 80C at which point the Intel C2D thermal throttling kicked in to keep the temps from hitting the Intel maximum of 85C. I have no doubt that CoreTemp is reporting the correct temperature on my P5B Deluxe.

I'm also convinced that on your board CoreTemp and the new version of SpeedFan are reporting your real core temperature. The Intel TAT program is reporting about 3C less at full load on my board but seems to be out to lunch on your board. If I was you, I'd be trusting CoreTemp.





NOTE: Orthos, CoreTemp and TAT are all reporting 3376 MHz because they're incorrectly reading the multiplier. It knows it is an E6400 so these programs assume that I am running at 8 X 422 MHz = 3376 MHz when I'm actually running at 7 X 422 MHz = 2954 MHz.

this post was taken from hard. someone tested this for me... interesting. now i'm really confused which to beleive

In a cold room having idle temps of 20C is normal.

TAT does not seem to be working properly on some of the newer boards.

if you read, that's where the top info came from
