Q6600 @ 3 ghz Temps

[Hemidare]

Hey my cpu is hitting the low 70's while running Orthos. Is that to high for comfort? Or should i try and reseat my heatsink? Its the stock one of course.

 

I upped my voltage by the smallest amount possible. So it is just barely above stock voltage and it is running @ 3 ghz. I have a very good case for air flow. So are those the temps i can expect with just the stock heatsink or should like i said above reseat the heatsink?

 

I am so lost on this motherboard and cpu. I wish more people had this motherboard. :sad: On this forum anyways.

70's are too high IMO

 

how do the temperatures compare on all four cores?

 

If they are all the same you should get a new heatsink.

 

If there is more than a 8-10 C difference you need to reseat the heatsink.

Yeah i let it prime all night and the temps are all roughly the same. I let it prime all night like that. But it is stable and yes i have a artic freezer on the way for it. Yeah i know not the best one out there but it should suffice until i choose either WC or extreme air.

 

I want to make an entry into the OC database but my pic above is showing the wrong clocks. I am running @ 3ghz right now for 11.5 hours as shown in the pics.

 

Should i reinstall and do the chipset drivers again or what?

Are you using an old version of CPU-Z? It should be reading correctly.

 

If it's current, it looks like you have C1E enabled. Drops the multi and the voltage when not in use.

I turned off c1e no use in having it on i dont think. Anywho i have cpuz reading it right but not coretemp. Oh well.
