The temps on this chip are way out of kilter.

With realtemp, idle is high 40's but load is only a couple of degrees higher.

I was able to oc to 3.6 at auto voltage (little over an hour of orthos so far)


The VID on this chip is 1.0625 (not sure if that is good or not though)

Are the temps actual? I have a lapped thermalright ultra 120 e with a monster fan on it. With my Q6600 overclocked to 3.2, idle was around 34c or less on cores and load maxed out at 52C and downwards.

Many of the sensors seem messed up on these chips. One of mine is almost completely stuck, and the other hardly fluctuates.

I personally have been going by the CPU temp (tcase i think), it seems to be dead on accurate.

Here is my E8400 Q748A094 i m happy for now
