E8400/8200 run cooler than E6420?

[meansizzler]

As the the title says, looking to upgrade my E6420 but the cpu cannot run at a higher temp.. using stock speed....

They ought to, being on a smaller die, but you can't guarantee anything!

 

[meansizzler]

any updates?

 

[Devil_Spawn]

they usually run at a lower voltage = cooler, but why not just get a better cooler?

It' a custom MATX build with passive cooler, the one I have is the best...

I have an E8400 that idles at 24C in a 20C room with a passive HR-01 heatsink, and loads out at 42C with the same cooler after 8 hours of Orthos. It runs so cool I can use my Zalman Reserator with it, even when it's overclocked to 4.25GHz it runs fully loaded at under 60C with two graphics cards in the same loop. It is a quite phenomenal CPU in my opinion.

thanks

I'd agree.

My chip in sig runs at the following temps (monitored by Realtemp):

Idle - 32c
Load - 49c

In comparison it's running cooler than my old e6600 did @ 3.4ghz and a lot cooler than my e2160 @ 3.4ghz.

Great chips.

Well I will give you a perspective from a mATX system I have built spec in sig;

Mine runs at; (Stock Temps)
43c Idle
61c Full Load

That is using a Zalman CNPS8000 at 1500RPM it defiantly should be cooler than your E6420 anyway.
