E6420 - What temps are ok?

bloodline76 · 17 Jan 2008 at 18:45

I have just changed my case and dont have as many fans inside at the moment.

I am running my CPU at 3.2ghz as that was stable in my last case but the temps are a bit higher in this case as it only has 2 120mm fans.

Its running at 65 and 60 on the cores on full load.

Is that ok?

Running tests on it now, ok after 30mins so far

THanks

Seems fine to me.

How are you measuring that?

Core temp 0.96.1 is out now, which has revised a few of the Tcase and TJmax figures to hopefully give more accurate results.

Im using Go SP2004, also speedfan and tat to test.

Temps seem ok, what voltage is that? I use coretemp for my temps.

My 6420 hits 64 full load, that with a zalman fatality air cooler, single 120mm exit and 90mm entry in a pretty hot room. No problems here

Thats a nice clock you got there. Ive not pushed mine any higher that 3.2 as I was happy with that. I did try 425x8 but it didnt like that.

I havent tried dropping the multiplier to 7 though, might have to try that. I run mine at stock voltage.
