intel xeon e5450 idle temperature is 60 degrees and while in load 98 degrees

[waymesee]

Hi all, i recently upgraded my Intel Pentium E5700 CPU to Intel Xeon E5450 [using mod sticker]. without updating the bios the mother board supporting all instructions of the processor. I'm using the Intel stock cooler and you can find complete details about my system here https://valid.x86.fr/wdifnf
but the problem is while system running idle the temps are 58-60 degrees and while running the load it reaches 97-98 degrees..i tried stress test while running core temp. the temp touch 100 degree mark but it keeps running for continues 15 mins. so my doubt here is core-temp and hardware monitor showing false values even msi burner does same or it really getting that hot.


if it is that hot should i change the cooler or i should update the bios properly with lga771 microcodes.

thank in advance

Your vcore is at 1.78 ! You are way above the limit. You shouldn't go above 1.3

is there any way to change the Vcore voltage. my bios doesn't support overclocking and voltage manupulations

waymesee,

On behalf of Tom's Moderator Team, welcome aboard!

Here's the problem:

(1) You're using Intel's stock cooler from a 65 Watt TDP E5700 Pentium Dual Core on an 80 Watt TDP Xeon E5450 Quad Core, which is essentially a lower TDP variant of the 95 Watt TDP Q9650.

(2) VID is 1.35 - https://ark.intel.com/products/33083/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5450-12M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB

Vcore should not exceed 1.4 volts on 45 nanometer processors. I seriously doubt that your Vcore is really 1.788, since the processor would immediately fail at such a high voltage.

(3) The #1 cause of Core temperature problems when using Intel stock coolers is they're notorious for popping a push-pin loose from the motherboard. They're also deceivingly tricky to get all four push-pins properly seated and latched completely through the motherboard, which is most likely the cause of your high idle and load Core temperatures.

You've already answered your own questions; change the cooler to a higher TDP aftermarket unit that has proper fastening hardware with a backplate, and update your BIOS. Also, FYI the Throttle temperature is 100°C.

Once again, welcome aboard!

thank you for welcoming me
I am ready to buy CPU cooler, please suggest me good one for socket 775.
but even after upgrading cooler i don't think the Vcore voltage come down. even you believe that its not correct value.
i have check using Hardware monitor and Open Hardware monitor both of them shown the same Vcore voltage so if there is any other software to measure the Vcore voltage properly let me know . my motherboard doesn't support overclocking and voltage changes in bios so please suggest me a tool to change the Vcore voltage if there is any.

waymesee,

Without knowing the maximum cooler height your case can accommodate: Cooler Master Hyper T4 - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103182&ignorebbr=1

Hardware Info is an advanced monitoring utility which is quite accurate: HWiNFO -

If your Vcore was really 1.788, then your CPU would have immediately failed when it was first powered on. Since your CPU is running, I'm sure the Vcore is at a proper "Auto" value.

you're absolutely right my Vcore voltage in Hardware Info shown correctly i.e 1.24 Volts.. that Hardware Info tool was giving in-depth details about the hardware. i ordered the same cooler you preferred..now i believe cooler will be enough for my high temparatures
