Help with Conroe Temp

[tastykellogg]

Hello all
Before I upgrade my CPU fan, I thought I actually check the temp with all the software I had. And they are so off!

First of all, speedfan is showing a temp of 0 C?
Umm...I can't find where Everest tells the CPU temp either. I read that CoreTemp is the most trustworthy software so I assume my CPU is HOT!?
Well this was measured after 12 hours of massive gaming lol and my apart is so hot that I sweat a lil just sitting down if I don't turn on AC.
Well I would like some inputs from experts and other owners of e6600 as well.
I also posted in another thread but I guess I'll ask again.
Which CPU fan would you recommmend? I have Centrion 5 case.
Thanks!

I have an e6600 at stock speeds. core temp seems to be pretty accurate. those temps seem fine especially if youve been playing games and the room temp is warm. im getting about those same temps after i do some cpu intensive stuff and my room temp is about 80F. idle temps for me are low 30s.

Thanks for reply.
Well When I first turned on PC this morning, went into Bios, and saw CPU Temp of 31C then it got higher in about 1-2 minutes to 36C. I booted up XP and checked core Temp and it showed 38C. I seriously want to change the fan and see how it does.
Btw, What's the best air flowing case ?

i wish i was as cool as you, i boot up in BIOS on my asus p5b vanilla, e6400, with a ZALMAN 9500 AT HSF, i hit 40C instantly, slowly climb to 44C idle in windows.

OC'ing only slightly to 277FSB from 266, i start hitting 59C.

ugh, oh well to overclocking.

Well before I overclock this thing, I thought I upgrade the CPU Fan so that i don't overheat this baby. Compared to other folks here, I am in the hot zone. I never hit 59C but hit 52C before. Is Ninja Fan a good upgrade from Scythe Mine Cooler tho?
