Temps Question for overclocked E8400

[dunny165]

System Specs

E8400
Asus P5Q Pro

XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 (cpu fan)


I increased the FSB from 333 stock to 400. That brought me to 3.6 ghz running stable. The vcore was at 1.3 which seemed a little high when I compared it to other peoples posts. I lowered the vcore to 1.25 and it ran stable (prime95). My temps are (according to speedfan)

(Celsius)

Idle
CPU: 32
Core 0: 40
Core 1: 39

(Game) Load
CPU 38
Core 0: 50
Core 1: 51

When I ran Prime 95 speedfan was reporting temps of CPU 70, Core 1: 80, Core 2: 81, Is that a speedfan error they seemed crazy high but it ran stable?

Are my other temps okay?

I got the same overclock with stock cooler and obviously 80 81 is too high but your temps should be OK. I idle the same and load a little higher and my system's stable but that's just me. You should be fine though

80c for any core2duo is very dangerous, id sujest re-seating the hs and makeing sure that you put a line of thermal paste on each heatpipe. that should lower ure temps down to about 50c load with a good fan.

Use Real Temp 2.7 for E8400 temps.

+1 for flyin15sec... E8xxx needs Real Temp which uses TJunction set at 95 C.

Yep use Real Temp, there are problems with software reading e8400 cpus. Real temp works, set the TJ max to 95.

100% agree I have my E8500@ 3.9ghz with a smaller S964 92mm 4 heat pipe cooler and my temps are between 37c-63c 100% intelburntest which is the best stability test I have found for Intel 45nm C2D's check it out here

Yep, Real Temp.

Or set your offsets for core 0 and core 1 within speedfan to -10, it turns out to be identical to what real temp reads.


Wow, IntelBurnTest IS hard on the system.
I likey. haha

New max found, 68 C, ouch. Orthos only hit 60 after an hour.


4ghz E8400, 1.344v (CPUZ loaded reading)


Can you set a default config so you can simply dlb click and run with out setting the options?
