    Help with my E8400 temp

    i have a E8400 cpu and i have overclocked it to 3.80 ghz the only problem im a bit worried about the temperatures

    running orthos for 2 hours
    core temp i get :
    core 0: 46 degreese
    core 1:51 degreese

    with real temp:

    core 0: 42degreese
    core 1:46 degreese

    running core damage for 10 mins i get:

    core temp

    core 0: 65degreese
    core 1:67 degreese

    Real temp

    core 0: 61degreese
    core 1:63 degreese

    With occt tested and its stable for 2 hours temps are:

    core 0: 53 degreese
    core 1:58 degreese

    so if anybody can help me out here and tell wether these temperatures are safe and far from its maximum , thank you in advanced

    your core damage temps seem a little high, you generally want your load temps to be under or around 60C

    What cooling are you using? If it's an aftermarket HSF then I don't think your temperatures are that bad at all. They could be a touch lower, but they aren't too bad. Depends on the HSF and your thermal compound too, and how you applied it .

    What versions of CoreTemp or RealTemp do you use? Take latest RealTemp, keep distance to TJMax>20-30 and be happy.
    Orthos is a real test because those are usual temps while gaming. LinX is for testing your heatsink.
    If it ain't broke... fix it until it is.

    Temp seems about normal, from what i saw with my setup... but that was because mine was very uneven.

    Lapping gave me very signifigant gains due to the very uneven surface i started with
    CPU: E8400 E0 (Cooled By OCZ Vendetta 2) @ 4.3ghz/1.296vcore
    Motherboard: GB EP45-DS4P BIOS F8
    Memory: OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 (1066mhz) 2x2gig - & Corsair Dominator RAM cooler
    Graphic: PowerColor PCS+ HD4890
    HDD: 2x WD 640GB, 1x Maxtor 180GB

    Pavlos next time use Max mem in LinX. Then you'll see some temperatures.
    LinX heat up your CPU like no tomorrow. Is very good to check quickly your CPU OC stability and heatsink performance. 10-20 passes without errors is a good sign of CPU stability. Then (to be sure) a couple of hours of prime95/Orthos blend test without errors and you're 99.99999% stable. Rest of 0.00001% is bad luck.
    Ah and take latest RealTemp from my link above. Now it's 2.90 RC3 and should match CoreTemp readings.
    If it ain't broke... fix it until it is.
