if everything seems to be right and it still that high it's time to invest 50 bucks into a new hsf. better to spend 50 on a new hsf than 300+ when ur c2d fries.

Yeah, I'm going to get a better cooler for sure... But until I can get one, this will have to do... (I hate ordering stuff online... wish there was a store around that sells good HSF's) because if I order tomorrow, I won't have it until next week... ugh!

fry's has zalman's. they don't have thermalright or tuniq though.

I'm using a Zalman 9500 and if you're desperate for something you can buy and have in your hand, now, then it's not bad at all. I get like that, not wanting to buy something from the internet because I'd have to wait so long . The Zalman 9500 I have is good but the 9700 has much more heatsink fin surface area and a larger fan, so it should be better.

I just ordered a Zalman 9700. Had to order online, but at least from a company in Canada so I don't have to wait for it to cross the border...

Both Tigerdirect and Ncix were superfast for me on three separate orders in December. Next day on all three on base shipping.

If you run ortho small ftt (or fft's whatever it is) not blend, what is your temps?

And, what is your case temp and ambient room temp.

I'm trying to figure out if my temps are too high:

With my 9700, with a e6600@3.4 w/ 1.46 volts i idle at 54 and it goes up to mid to upper 60's with orthos (small ftt's), 70's with TAT's stress test.

I found that upping the volts significantly increased the heat. I reapplied the arctic silver 5 to see if that made a difference but it did not. My room temp is 75 farenheit.

My temps seem high, but i'm not sure if it's just because my room is warm or if i'm doing something wrong with this cooler. My case temp as read by a temp probe is 31c. Could my arctic silver 5 be bad? It's an older tube that i had stored with the tip down. Could TAT's readings be off?

Any ideas? Do these readings seem high given my volts, and ambient temps?

Thanks.

With your volts at 1.46, what is your multiplyer?

I'd like to set mine to that speed as well when I get my cooler.

I have the multiplier at the stock 9. My fsb speed is 1522 for a cpu speed of 3.425.

I have to set the voltage on the 680i motherboard to 1.5 to get an actual voltage of 1.46 due to voltage droop.

The temps you are getting while running the stress tests are extremely high. I would NOT be at all comfortable running at those temps. That voltage is a little high, though not unheard of. You will surely get higher temps at that voltage, but I doubt it should cause you to go into the high 60s and 70s. That is a dangerous level of heat if you ask me. My voltage is just a tad above 1.4v. Try running another temp utility like SpeedFan and see what it reports.

I'm not sure if AS5 goes bad, maybe someone else could comment on that.

My ambient room temp is about 68-70, I'll have to check the system temps. I run with my case side off.

My orthos is running small ftt's. I'm not at home to check but small ftt's should run the cpu hotter then blend. Speedfan reports similar temps to tat. Try running the TAT stress test and let me know what your temps are.

When i overclocked to 3.3 at 1.4 volts my temps were about 60 under orthos small ftt's. So the change from 3.3 to 3.4 and the increase in voltage from 1.4 to 1.46 increased the temp by about 5 degrees.


I'm still wondering if given my 75 farenheit room and 31c case temp if my cpu temp is to be expected with my zalman 9700. Or maybe it's bad arctic silver 5. I ordered a new tube and i'll try it out next week when i get it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I was running blend, I'll do the FTTs or whatever when I get home. 65 is more reasonable than high 60s and 70s, though a little out of my personal comfort range. Then again, not everything is going to push your CPUs as hard as those tests.

On another note these E6600s ROCK! Call me a dork, but every time I turn on my computer its like Christmas morning

Weird, I can not get the Thermal Analysis Tool to work on my AW9D Max (error enumerating On Demand Clock Modulation Support) is the error I get.
Any suggestions?

Speedfan is nowhere near as reliable as intel TAT (or coretemp) for temperature reading, as ITAT reads the temperature from the thermal diode sensor inside the actual core, and not from the CPU socket.

Sounds to me like you have C1E still on?

 

[T101]

Speedfan does not work at all.

C1E? sorry I am very new to this platform. Fist intel CPU and chipset I have owned in over 8 years.

 

[Roguestar]

C1E and speedstep, the things that throttle your CPU down when it's hot, and throttle it down when you're not using, respectively, if I recall correctly. Should be in the BIOS options somewhere .

 

[Shava]

Get coretemp. Google it and download it, start it up and then give us the temps.

 

[T101]

CoreTemp worked, and finally gave me some temperature readings. 55 and 56C idle. 66+ during load and climbing. *gulp* I need to get a new cooler.

Exactly the same as me... I think that's the norm for a stock HSF.

 

[T101]

Seems like it. Still too hot for me being comfortable with it. So I am going to take my rig apart some day soon and replace the HSF with the sonic tower I have laying around. Added a 120mm fan to that, and it should bring the temps down to nice ranges.

 

[Roguestar]

Make that day tomorrow! For the good of the land!

 

[T101]

Hehe, that is quite likely.

With small ffts I go to about 57-58.

I'm not its biggest fan (no pun intended), I've heard bad and good, but its usually with 2 degrees of TAT when I run it.

Just installed a Zalman 9700...

Before:
Idle - 55c
100% - 72-73c

After Zalman 9700
Idle - 45c
100% - 54c

Sweet!
