E6400 Temperature es

Hey all,
As you might know, I have a few temperature issue's with me E6400. Today I came on the lavalys site and saw they released a new everest with C2D Support. I quickly downloaded the new version and checked the temperatures. I have EIST enabled, so temps are normal a little higher, this is idle:

How the hell can the cores be 40C and CPU 24? Seems like a bad contact bitween the cores and IHS ?

Also, my I use stock cooling w/ AS5, reseated a few times, didn't help. Cores 1 and 2 get around 60C stressed, not overclocked.

Also found this?

So how much can the core temps be? and what should i trust ?
A friend of mine got is E6400 running @3ghz stock volts, if I remember correctly on a scythe infinite, stressed it doesnt come above 50C TAT/Everest!!!!!!! (the cores)

Download this it will give you very accurate temps.

Forget core temp, it's the same as everest/tat. I already have it. I want to know why is the difference bitween CPU and the Cores 1,2 so big is? And at stock they reach 60C, both.

My 6300 gets to 53 full load @ 1.475v on core temp and shows 33 on easytune. Don't know why.

You get different readings from one program to the next because one is reading the motherboards cpu temp sensor and the other (core temp etc) is reading the CPU temp diode. One core will read higher than another due to the difference in contact with the core and IHS or the IHS and HSF.

So I must not go above 60C CPU Temp, no matter how high the core's are?

If your cpu goes over 60 it won't suddenly die. I personally wouldn't feel comfotable over that temp for any legth of time tho.

Those temps are fine for TAT, i've primed my machine for 24 hours with core temps 65~ constant and primed for 12 hours with my intake fan completely off and temps went to 68~. Temp readings from 50-70 are pretty normal for TAT i've found. I wouldnt worry much about temperatures as long as your not putting insane voltages through the chips in relation to your cooling capacity, if your worried about temperatures just enable throttling.

Thats with all my fans at lowest rpm :cool:

and oc'd to 3.2, drops to 55~ under load with full rpm of fans.
