E4300 Core Temps?

[wchp]

Have an E4300 OCd to 3.2 (9x356)
SpeedFan 4.32 has core 0 and 1 avg at 27C idle and the most I have peaked at is 46C
This is with the Stock Intel HSF.
Should I even bother with a aftermarket HSF?
This is all in a Gigabyte Mid ATX with dual 120mm fans.
Case Temp is staying at 24C
ambient temp is 22C

You have just about the same temps as me with a Freezer 7 Pro, absolutely no need whatsoever for you to upgrade your setup with temps like that...some folks around here would die for them!

Spoke to soon... I was running 9x333 @ Auto Voltage which took me from 1.325 to 1.4. I decided to see where I could go.

I got Vista Up and TAT started with:
9x355 mem multi at 2.0 and DDR and MCH voltage at +.20v and CPU Voltage at 1.45

Temps went slamming into the 70s+ within seconds and it dumped.

Back to 333 I went. TAT still runs it into the 68-69c range but it holds there and doesn't crash.
Guess I will get and HSF after-all 😳

You could also try manually setting your voltage.
I manually set mine to lower than what "Auto" thinks is necessary.

I have my E4300 running @ 9x333 with CPU Voltage of 1.28 by setting it manualy. In your case try setting it manually to what you are running now automatically and then either dial back the voltage slowly or increase speed. I think you will find you may be able to run on less voltage than what Auto supplies. This may save you from an aftermarket cooler.

I tried setting it manually to 1.325 to start but I am not able to keep it up there. Normal stuff under Vista it will stay up all day but run TAT and it takes it down in 3 seconds if you don't allow the CPUs to throttle (e.g. set TAT to full on both processors)

Would you mind going down the list for the Advanced and MIT sections of the bios and filling in your settings?:

Advanced:
Limit CPUID Max to 3 - Disabled
CPU Enhanced Halt - Enabled
CPU Thermal Monitor - Enabled
CPU EIST Function - Enabled

M.I.T.
CPU Host Clock Control - Enable
CPU Host Freq - 333
PCI Exp Freq - 100
Sys Mem Multiplier - 2.0
DRAM - Manual
CAS - 5
RAS to CAS - 5
RAS Precharge - 5
Precharge Delay - 15

System Voltage - Manual
DDR2 Overvolage -
PCI-E Overvoltage -
(G)MCH Overvoltage -
FSB Overvoltage -
CPU Voltage -

And if you changed anything from the default "optimum F7 load" not listed here would you please add/include that as well. (I am presuming the F10 bios)

Thank you

Actually running F6.

That is what came on my system.
Upgrading to F10 killed my stability on the low voltage for some reason.

However, I hear there are bios issues wth Vista and the older Bioses. Not sure what, just an off-hand comment. Runnung XP now so I cant say for sure
