E8400 weird temps

[Live4u129]

k thanks!

That wasn't so bad. I rather like your style. You were right on the ball, knew what I meant, and got right to it. Thanks how I like to get it done. Once I make you do the tests and junk, and all fast, not hours and days apart like a slow thread, I know how to get it fixed!

So... where did you wanna OC to?

We know your cooler cant handle 1.3 volts to it, so prolly 3.6ish @ 1.2250?

I have to split for now, but I will be back, mess with junk, and if you encounter any problems, feel free to let me know, I will be back on later tonight!

Good job.

Well, I really would like to get to 3.5 Ghz. That's my first goal. If I can get higher than that, just tell meh your ideas! Right now I have it at 3.12 Ghz on stock voltage. XD Stable, and idle is 44C and load changes between 54C and 53C. I got 1000 more 3dmarks! (3DMark06)

 

[Live4u129]

Also, what setting in the BIOS would I need to set in order to make the main fan's RPMs higher? Right now they are at 1800 RPMs. I know it can go to 2300.

 

[Lupiron]

Your CPU fan? yeah, there is a part of your BIOS that controls fan duty cycles. Turn the CPU one to manual control, then 100%.

Your cooler is what will hold you back now, my friend!

I will help a bit later! Gotta get food and junk!

I know your getting, "Food and Junk" lol, but along with the overclocking, I have a problem... I was going along great, got it up to 3.16 Ghz stable and cool, but when I went to 3.18, (FSB of 1414.00 or w/e) it made a loud beeping noise and said that I went to high on the FSB, please reset it. Now this is weird because I KNOW that the CPU can support 3.18 Ghz. And when I keep it like 3.18, it just boots in safe mode. I await your solution

 

[Live4u129]

Whay you at man?

 

[Lupiron]

Did you raise the VCore manually? You will reach a point to where you need more.

--Lupi

 

[Live4u129]

I raised it one notch and it still said it.

 

[Live4u129]

About how many volts do I need to raise it?

 

[Lupiron]

Hmm, does it have any type of safty on the settings? Sometimes they come with that!!

I am not here yet! Maybe in an hour!

[Live4u129]

Ok

 

[Live4u129]

Hey, I'm gonna head to bed, but I just gonna tell you, I got to 3.3 Ghz stable. My idle is 44c and my load is 56c and rarely 57c. Thanks for your help, and I'll talk to you tomoro. Have a good night or day whichever!

 

[Lupiron]

Hehe, night, and sure, I am on here alot! Better than 50c idle at stock, lol!!

The E8400 might have some temp sensors issues, i would download realtemp and click the test sensors to see if your sensors are stuck.

 

[Lupiron]

It's fine now that he lowered it, but still, he has a 1.2250 VID chip. They appear to range from 1.1000 to 1.2500 for 45 NM chips. So his is naturally high. He'll be back tomorrow!

How hot is it where you are ?
I'm at 4.0 with 1.36v and my idle is 32c/ load 52c in a 21c air conditioned room.

Oops, forgot Zalman 9500 cooler.

 

[yetyhunter]

My E8400 is at 3.6 GHZ with 1.18750 and it's completetly stable.Idle temps are at 33°C ,taht's a bit high because of high idle temperatures around 26°C in my room. Load temperatures never go over 43°C.I'm using a OCZ vendetta cooler.

 

[Lupiron]

@ YetyHunter, Nice! I'd have to guess your VID is nice and low, prolly around 1.1500. Do you mind Running Core Temp and listing it here, please?

Looks like you need to OC farther, if your loaded temps are that low!

@ DellUser1, do you mind doing the same? Run Core Temp and list the VID here?

Thanks you guys! GJ on the OC.

[Live4u129]

Ok...... Uhhhhh urrrrrhhh, ehhhhh.... Real Temp says that my idle is 34c and my load is 42c. My sensors must be strange. Ok I tested them and there's movement of 7. Thanks Shadowthor! I'll continue my OC now...

 

[Lupiron]

Don't use Real Temp unless you do the calibration steps in the guide. But once you do that correctly, real temp is supposed to be right on the money.

Now back to work!

I'll help ya later tonight more directly if you need it.

It actually pays off to fiddle about in the Bios, you will get a feel for how your mother board behaves. It really helps.

Hey, Lupiron, I disable speedstep and set my power in vista to maximum performance, but my multipliers keep changing. Any ideas?

 

[Lupiron]

Look for an EIST function, or manually enter in the CPU multi, while setting speed step to disabled. Sometimes if the CPU multiplier is left on default or auto, it wont save the speed step disabled thingie.

Ok, I'm taking a lil' break to play some Oblivion (which loads in literally no time at all. I mean literally, I can't find a loading screen.) So far I've got 3.5 Ghz, stable, 44c idle, 58c full load for about 30 minutes. 56c for short 3 min load. Voltage: 1.197
Also, I just ordered the Zalman CNPS9700 LED with next day shipping, so I'll have that in a lil bit.
