CPU Temps for Stock e6850 (3GHz)

[Allistah]

Hey all,

Last night I just put together a new system with a GA-P35-DQ6 mobo, a e6850 3GHz Duo proc, and 2 gigs of ram.

I ran ortho last night as well as the ATI tool to see if the system was stable under a system load as well as a video load.

Six hours later, the TAT tool is telling me about 59/60c for both cores. That is what that program is telling me right? I see people post core temps and a CPU temp, how do I find the CPU temp and how is that different than the core temp?

The 8800 GTX was running about 85c as well.

Does 60c seem hot for a fully loaded e6850 at stock voltage, speed, etc? I'm using the stock intel HSF with AS5. I did an ok job of putting on the AS5 so if you think it should be lower, let me know and I'll re-do the HSF install. Just remember that the video card was loaded as well as running Ortho which increases the case temp a bit.

It seems the proc tops out at about 54/55c for both cores when the video card is not under a load.

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it!

Edit: changed 3850 to e6850 - my bad - thanks for the correction guys.

for me those temps seem alittle high even on stock cooling because most people try to keep loads below the low 50s. it sounds to me like you may have poor airflow in your case. i'm not too familiar with graphics card temps but I don't think they should be that high. also give some case temps under load and idle and some temps for the cpu at load.

ps I think you mean the 6850 core 2 duo. doesn't really matter though if its a xeon dual core because most modern day cpus have the same "warning zone".

TAT reports core temp. 60C is normal for default voltage. The average temp often used by BIOS/Speedfan is 15C lower.

hmmm do you mean e6850 core2duo?? alot of ppl assume that the tjunctions for these chips are 100C so it will have an offset of 15 ... so if you're at 60C you should add another 15C .... no ones actually for certain though until intel makes it official i guess but if your idling below ambient temps on air than there has to be something wrong right?? your load temps look fine but hows your idle temps?? is it below ambient?
Alot of ppl concentrate on the core temps rather than cpu temps but programs like everest and speedfan show both ... theres alot of temperature related threads on core2duo's so that should help you out aswell .... but from what i've seen e6850 run a bit cooler than what you get even on stock hsf ... i have the e6750 idling at 15-20c full load at 45-50c max (without +15c offset) with an aftermarket cooler but i've overclocked mine ... for me hot means above 70c anything below its safe enough for me ... but i'm pretty sure that intel won't be selling cpu's with hsf that won't be able to handle them at stock voltage and speed, that won't last for years ...

The room temp is 23.8c and the cpu cores idle at 25c. How do I find the CPU temp and the core temps? I'm guessing that TAT shows the two cores. Speedfan has this showing - which is which?

Idle Temps for SpeedFan v4.32:
Temp1: 46c
Temp2: 31c
Temp3: -2c
HD0: 40c
Core 0: 23c
Core 1: 23c

I see the cores listed, but which is the "CPU temp"?

Since my room temp is 23.8c and it looks like it is idling about 23-25c, I guess that would tell me that the stock HSF is on and seated correctly? How can I be sure that it's seated properly? I'm not a complete newbie to using AS5 but I know that if a HSF is off a little bit with pressure on the core, it will make a big difference. I tried to wiggle the HSF when it was under load to see if temps dropped but they didn't. Usually if the HSF is not seated properly, if you wiggle it a tiny bit you'll see temps drop as you wiggle it and get it seated better.

Oh last thing, Speedfan shows the CPU fan at 450000 rpms. How do I fix this so it reads correctly?

Use Core 0 and 1. TAT is probably showing 40C idle, which is normal for C2D.

 

[Allistah]

TAT and Speedfan were both showing around 25c idle for the cores. They're both pretty close to one another. Like right now TAT is reading 56/55 and SpeedFan reads 57/56.

Ther actual = speed fan 4.32 number + 15.

Here are my 1 hour cpu/video card heat test results:

Intel e6850, Stock HSF with AS5, Stock/default BIOS settings, GA-P35-DQ6 mobo, Antec P182 case (Case fans on low)
eVGA 8800 GTX 768mb video card

Room temp near case: 24c

Orthos running on Small FFTs - stress CPU, ATI Tool running the cube for video load.
------------------------------
SpeedFan
------------------------------
Temp1: 55c
Temp2: 64c
Temp3: -2c
HD 0: 40c
Core 0: 58c
Core 1: 58c

Vcore1: 1.20v
Vcore2: 1.87v
+3.3v: 3.3v
+5v: 4.92v
+12v: 3.71v
-12v: -16.56v
-5v: -8.27
+5v: 4.97v
Vbat: 3.12v
(Whats up with these wacky voltages reported by SpeedFan?)

------------------------------
TAT
------------------------------
CPU 0: 58c
CPU 1: 56c

------------------------------
Core Temp 0.95
------------------------------
Tjunction: 85c
Core 0: 27c to Tjunction remaining (C0 State)
Core 1: 27c to Tjunction remaining (C0 State)
VID: 1.2375v

So with those readings, I'm guessing that is normal? With those temps, what kind of OC potential do you guys think I have with this machine? What temps should I not want to go over if I do OC?

Thanks for the input guys, I haven't built a system in about 6+ years and haven't OCed anything for probably longer. A lot of new things to pay attention to now.

@nyker96:
I thought that the +15 thing was only for certain procs. How do I know if mine is one of them?

If you're right, then my temps are about 73c? (58c + 15c) For some reason that doesn't sound right. Can anyone else chime in here and help me make sure I understand what my correct temp readings are?

If I add 15 to my temp readings, then I must have to take 15 away from the Tjunction remaining as well? Man I need a serious clue here. ;-)
