iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) I've heard temp ranges from >80c to >100c I know TjMax on E8xxx chips is like 100c, which I don't intend to go near, but I'm at about 56c load (which is still fairly cool), and I was wondering what temperature you guys think I should start stepping off at?

Jenova69 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I cut mine off a 70C since intel says not to go over 72C but, with any decent air cooler you shouldn't even get close to those temperature's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 psh, mine went over 72c when everything was stock. Wonder what Intel has to say about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihartnell Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 My E8500 reaches 59 degrees C at 4275 on full load. (1.36v). Decent aircooling will keep you well away from safe max temps. I would keep mine below 65 for 24x7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 well, I'm WC'd right now, so I'm not concerned, I was just curious. I'm having a hard time keeping it stable, really. I walked away from my computer for 20 minutes after an hour of Prime95 running, only to find out it had restarted. Not sure at all why it restarted, since I wasn't there, but I'm going to redo Prime95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instability is just as likely from incorrect voltages. Edited January 2, 2011 by dihartnell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 If you are getting 72c (centigrade or Farenheight) at stock then you have a problem with your cooling. Instability is just as likely from incorrect voltages. that was after 2 hours of P95 it would hit at about 72-73C right now, I'm running at a pretty high voltage (1.3425, iirc?) It's been 1/2 an hour of P95 and nothing so far-- everything going fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 1/2 an hour of P95 and nothing so far-- everything going fine. Still seems very high for water cooling. Im no expert on that but there are lots of people here with complex water cooling rigs so they may be able to help. most likely cause I can think of is the fan arrangement on the radiator and case. With that voltage it should be in the low to mid 50's at full load in P95. Have you got a lot of other voltages on Auto? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that voltage it should be in the low to mid 50's at full load in P95. Have you got a lot of other voltages on Auto? No, I bumped my FSB from 1.3 to 1.4, and my memory is at 2.1. I failed P95 with FSB 1.3. Everything else is at auto, iirc. (I did that a few hours ago lol) Also, my temp seems to vary between 52-56C every so often with P95 running. It'll stay at 52C for a while, but suddenly jump to 56C for about 2 minutes, then drop back down. Edit: I should point out that I have to use my HW monitor motherboard sensor, since my CPU temp sensor doesn't detect anything under 42C ever.
