CPU TEMP VS CORE TEMP

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

Using everest ultimate, when people are reporting their idles, are they saying their core temps or cpu temps, my cpu temp is 31c and cores are both 44c, is this normal?? Cheers

 

[matt100]

no, one is lying. Its the same thing, your cpu is made of one or more cores so your cpu is your core.

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

no i have core 0 and core 1 which are at 44/43 then a separate temp which is just cpu which is 31c, i just want to know if these temps are good?

 

[ThatJoe]

Idle right?

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

yea

 

[matt100]

what I'm saying is IGNORE the cpu temp. God knows what its reporting but its nothing you need to worry about. Your cores are the true temp you need to think about.

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

okie doke, and are these good temps? I am running at stock and think they are a bit high, cooler is the aquagate mini which is like equivalent of high end air

 

[matt100]

40s is quite high tbh.. what cooler?

Load is more important anyway what does it top out at? and whats the speed/vcore?

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

tops out at around 55c load

no, one is lying. Its the same thing, your cpu is made of one or more cores so your cpu is your core.

No, they aren't the same thing. CPU temp is the tCase temp....core temp are the temps of the cores (duh).

When intel gives its temp rating it's for tCase....the actual core temp limit is much higher

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

so my temps are great right and i should overclock? lol

 

[gurusan]

55c load @ stock clocks is a little high, what sort of cooler are you running?

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

aquagate mini r120, its a budget watercooling (i know i know!!!) but its reported in all the reviews to be equal to high end air like the tuniq tower and i know that it is fitted perfectly.

 

[matt100]

No, they aren't the same thing. CPU temp is the tCase temp....core temp are the temps of the cores (duh).

When intel gives its temp rating it's for tCase....the actual core temp limit is much higher

yeah I misunderstood the question tbh, I thought it was like speedfan reporting cpu and everest reporting cores.

 

[matt100]

I suppose there's only one way to find out lol! have a go and see where the temps go.

 

[Devil_Spawn]

my cpu temp (tcase?) always seems higher than my actual core temps. q6600 g0 IP35-e

is this possible or is one wrong?

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

im soo confused lol, which temp does everyone report when they tell us their idle!?

 

[matt100]

cores.. always.

 

[THEMIGHTYMAXTOR]

so 44 is pretty crap for stock speeds i guess??

 

[matt100]

yes but its still irrelevant load is the concern but just be aware.

budget watercooling makes the baby jesus cry

the aquagate is nowhere near as good as top end air.
