hello
After reading http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/Understanding-electromigration-ftopict217287.html and the temp guide, i am under the impression that with the c2d's, if i can keep my temps down, even with high voltage, my cpu will last 5+ years. Is this true?

In my case, i have a e6400 @ 3.72 using 1.58 volts in the bios. speedfan and the bios only reports 1.53 volts. I idle at 48 and load at 63. Is this going to kill my cpu? Also, one of my cores is a lot hotter than the other, sometimes by 7c at idle. Do you think i applied AS5 poorly?

on a different subject, do my temps seem high for watercooling? apogee gt, 2x 120 radiators.

Using Format from Guide
Tcase = 41 Idle & 59 Load (should be 15c off?? iono)
Tjunction = 48 Idle & 63 Load

Ambient = 18c
Chipset = 965
C2D = 6400
CPU Cooler = apogee gt
Frequency = 3720
Load = orthos
Motherboard = asus commando
Vcore = set at 1.58, i think its really at 1.53

thanks for your help in advance.
 
intellectualpwer, Tcase is offset by +10c, so use the "Offsets" section of the Guide to configure this correction. This is appropriate considering your Ambient, Vcore and coolling. Incidentally, very nice OC! :trophy:

Hope this helps, and enjoy your rig! 😀
