My e8400 core temps

[Huttfuzz]

Ok guys, so now my OC is super stable, after running Prime95 for 25 hours (v25.6). I just have difficulty to find threads on Core Temps for the Wolfdale, since its not that old of a CPU.

Here are my temps, 41 and 43 at idle, 49 and 50 at full load, using games, or whatever program that require my cpu. The max Temps registered by HWmonitor are 59 and 59, that is in the middle of the Torture Test with Prime95. Just want to notice that the 59C temps was only once during the 24 hour test, most of the time it was running below 54C.

Any advice? Thanks.

You're fine, mine are another ten degrees more than you at 4.0 GHz with 1.4 V. Your CPU's max temperature is rated at 72.5 degrees I think, and Coretemp apparently uses the wrong TJmax value to calcuate the temperature. A program called Realtemp is supposed to be better and gives you 10 degrees lower temperature readings.

Thanks for the info, any other advice guys?

I like to keep my cpu core temps under 65C, which is what you have there. Too much heat will effect other components as well, such as NB and vidcard.

HWmonitor shows my cores @ 44 and 42 during idle, CPU @ 33... ambient temp is 80 F.
Running ORHTOS 4 hours show 63 and 56 never makes it past there, CPU @ 47.... again ambient 80 F

The rest of my house is 74 degrees but the office is cookin right now, have 3 machines on!

Not sure what the temps are with a lower ambient, what was your ambients?
