Heat probs reported for Intel E8400s

[Lestat]

i havent read thru the whole thread but mine reads like this

40/45c in core temp idle this is only a fake reading.
the minute you start priming the temps reach 60 to 65c. (with 1.45v 4.2ghz)
stop priming and they go back down and stay at 40/45

now using Smart guardian and speed fan you can also see the cpu temp, which is not the core temp but the temp of the onboard temp probe.

this reads much less and is a more realistic number and will fluctuate according to load. and again the minute you prime, it slams up to 55-65c depending on how wwell my air cooling is working. (ambient temps, room temps playing their part on keeping the cpu cooler)


the moral of the story stop using core temp until things are fixed.

if you also are using the DFI P35 Dark T2R/s the bios lets you adjust the cpu temp +/- to reflect a more accurate temp.
use that to get a better reading.

but yes the E8400 cpu's do not report CORE TEMP correctly. and as far as i know core temp is the only reading thats wrong.
