e6400 a bit warm

SpudMaster · 10 Nov 2006 at 19:10

When i run my e6400 at 3.5ghz with 1.5v im getting load temps of about 60-63 degrees measured using TAT and using the 100% workload level feature. I though my IHS must be concave so i had a go at lapping the cpu. The chip now looks nice n shiny and appears to be flat but my temps have altered very little.
Im on water. using an AquaXtreme block, Laing DDC Ultra, thermochill pa120.2 rad and a DD Maze4 on my gpu. Would have thought my temps would be much lower than that ??

yeah thats what i was thinking :confused:

it idles at about 45 in TAT, speed fan reads it at about 30c, and at load TAT says 60-63c, speed fan read 50c

I havent lapped my cpu block but thats flat, i was using it on my old opty 170 and had good temps with it then. Cpu has been lapped and as far as i can tell its now flat

yeah maybe its a problem with contact between the ish and the cores ??

yeah i know, was just giving that as not everyone uses TAT or Coretemp

is 60c in TAT and Coretemp too high? or is it ok??

yeah i would have though it would be below 50.

My radiator gets very got so i guess that mean i got good contact with the cpu. I must just got a toasty chip
