Ok, Q9300 (Xeon equiv) came in today, and so far my thoughts are... WTF?
Temperatures make no sense
Perfectly stable at 3.2ghz (428 FSB, 1.25volts) but as you can see, it should have burst into flames if RealTemp is to be believed. CoreTemp, of course, reads even higher. And yet I'm sitting here writing this while Prime95 cranks away, and listening to MP3s to boot...
YOUR TEMPS ARE INSANE.
I dont know how your cpu is not shutting off when your EXCEEDING the TjMax.
You have 2 choices as of this point.
1. Get a new cooler
2. Inspect to see if its the thermal probe inside thats malfunctioning.
But as of right now YOUR CHIP IS NOT SAFE
Perhaps he shut off thermal monitoring in the BIOS???
