Hi, thanks in advance for any help given.

c2d e6300 in a ga-p31-ds3l with freezer 7 pro cooler @ 2030mhz

Idle temps 48/49 c and after about 10/15mins of prime 95 they go to about 58/59 c

Seems abit high to me.
Does it take time for the thermal paste to settle/burn in.

Never had this problem with freezer 64 on 3800x2 @ 2.7 ghz

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
What software are you using to check temps and whats the fan speed the AC7 running at :)
 
Frzr 7 fan running at full tilt, 2800 rpm, i disabled the smart fan thingy as to overclock.
Easy tune 5 pro gives temps as 36 n/bridge and 35 cpu, but to double/triple check i installed speedfan, core temp and real temp, sadly they're all giving the high readings

At stock (1.86 ghz, easytune5 pro said idle was 29 which i thought was about right) then the other progs after ovrclck jumped it up quite a bit.

Thanks for the response
 
Try using core temp or real temp, these take the readings from the actual cores and not by the heat-spreader.

The temps do seem a little on the high side, I had e6600 with the AC7 overclocked to 3.0ghz that used to idle at 45-50c with full load around 65c with the ac7 fan around 1800-1900 rpm, have you tried checking to see if all the clips are firmly in place, you might need to do a re-seat.
 
I would lower the vcore to 1.07 and try that.
If it dont post raise it a little bit at a time till you get it stable.

I am at 2.7 stable with a 1.06vcore and its 30/28c idel and 38/39 load.
 
My temps are similar as well.

I have a Arctic freezer 7 along with the E6300(Overclocked to 2.8GHz)...

Idle temps: 44-48 degrees
Load temps: 52-55ish

Used to get lower temps before, i've even cleaned everything inside but no luck really.

I use coretemp and speedfan to look at temps by the way.
 
Thanks everyone,

The vcore is at the stock 1.3 (i beleive ) but to deuse i'll try that, first thing tomorrow.

To rjc, a reseat may be a distinct possibility if reducing the vcore doesn't yield better temps. Though it seems to be seated fine. I have another e6300 stock on a giga p35 and temps are 19/20 c idle, so maybe something that way is up.
It makes sense. I find the 775 system a pain compared to 939.

To gam3r Theres no way at the moment i can get close to 2.8 with me temps the way they are. I only want to get to about 2.5/2.6ghz, but temps are about 800mhz high if you know what I mean.

Looks like a reseat and the vcore drop.

Cheers once again.
 
Check to see if the HS of your 6300 is concave, if it is then you'l need to lap it to get decent temps. Lots of early E6300 had very concave HS, mine did and needed a fair bit of lapping to get it level.

thanks pegasus1, didn't know about that, when I do a reseat i'll check the hs.

Great job everyone.

I meant the CPU integrated HS, do a search on the CPU forum and you will find lots of pics of concave heatspreaders. Its means that if your Freezer 7 has a flat HS base then you will be getting very poor contact (if at all) in the centre of the IHS. By having a flat (or as close a possible) CPU IHS you will need minimal paste, my E6300 has just a dull sheen of TIM and i get some very cool temps (although i am on WCing).
 
Thanks pegasus1, I know what you meant. When I remove hsf i'll also take out cpu and maybe lap it, i have a kit somewhere in the shed for that.
Thanks again.
 
Just to keep you all updated,

I removed af7pro and the cpu does seem to be concave, hollowed in middle.
An area of about 1.5cm in diameter bang centre.

Looks like I need to do some lapping, Thanks everyone for your expert help.

The freezer 7 pro was seated properly after all.
 
Just to come back on your post there.

I left my E6400 on Auto voltage on my board and it defaulted to 1.325V.

However after some reading my E6400 was revision B2 and should be running at 1.2V After changing this my load temps have come down from 59-60 to 48-49.

I don't know if this is the same for the E6300s
 
jas72, yeah my e6300 is rev. B2 and I noticed tonight that the voltages are at auto and it's 1.325. Ill have to google it and see what it SHOULD be.

One of the other guys before (read up) said about reducing the vcore to about 1.1

Might try that, Thanks for taking an interest in my problem and for your advice.
Regards.
 
1.2v seems to be stock and theres plenty of reports from what I see of people getting to 2.8ghz on that, 3ghz at 1.325v and high threes (ghz on 1.4 v.
Also someone says they can be massively undervolted, the b2 revision.

Ah well, tomorrow is indeed a new day and i've been tinkering around with fans and heatsinks etc etc since 7pm.
Thanks to everyone (yet again.)

Someone . . . tut! :p

joerelic you may find this other thread interesting, it was my first experience of a Core2 Duo and I was using an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro . . .

:( Help - I need a good air cooler [P5B Deluxe/e6300] 10th Jan 2007

Back then I didn't know I could undervolt by CPU so left it on auto (1.325VID) and the Arctic cooler was having problems cooling the chip. As the others have already said lapping the CPU is a good idea, I did mine last year and it made a difference (the IHS was Concave).

Lapped + Undervolted E6300 chip + Arctic Freezer 7 Pro should be fine, even on low rpms! :cool:
 
Thanks a mill big wayne, I'm far from being a total noob etc, but I never ever thought of undervolting by so much, I mean if I were to overvolt by that much and had the proper cooling my e6300 would do well over 3ghz.

Great insight by yourself there big wayne and i got some tinkering to do yet I see, but as you and the others suggest, i think i'll still lap the heat spreader as well.

While on the subject, my temps from the bios and easytune 5 pro are way lower than both core temp, real temp and speedfan. I trust the latter programs validity more than easytune but the bios is a mile of and it's f9 rev. I thought they'd only gotten as far as f8.

Thanks every again. What a helpful bunch you are, cheers.
