e6850 + core temp

e6850 + core temp + multi changing

Hi guys

Got my some new gear today including a tuniq tower 120 + E6850 + Gigabyte P35C DS3R

CoreTemp 0.95 is reading the temps at 13-18 degrees.

Surely this is not correct?

EDIT** Also in the latest cpu-z the speed is changing from 2000 to 3000 and multi 6-9 all the time, yet i have disabled "CPU EIST Function" in the bios.

you have to change more that cpu eist
on mine i have to disable EIST C1E thermal control and fan control
try everest 4 for temps if TAT doesn't work
when you mount the heatsink it will be very low for a while
need to let things warm up try orthos for a while
my 6420 idles @25c even below that sometimes dependant on room temp
and thats overclocked to 3.2 ghz with a tuniq.

read a few post's about temps not getting read correctly on the new "go" cpu, it's not just u, probs software needs updating before can read right .

Ok I have disabled "CPU Thermal Monitor 2" & "CPU EIST Function"

Ive also up'd the bus speed to 400 x 9

So now when i turn the pc on and open CPU-Z it says the core speed is 2400 (Bus 400 x 6)

Then whenever I open a prog such as orthos it goes up to 3600 (bus 400 x 9)

So somthing in the bios is changing the multi from 9 - 6 depending on system load. Any ideas?

Also all seems fine at 3.6ghz, idle 20-23, load 30-34 (If coretemp is right ofc)

I would think this is being caused by "Intel Speedstep Technology" being Enabled in your BIOS (power saving), you can simply Disable this if you like.

Intel Speedstep technology is CPU EIST is it not?

This is already disabled.

It is....I should have looked a bit closer...apologies.

no worries, just wondering what else it could be :\

there's usually 3 options look for an integrated thermal throttling device in bios
click on my computer icon and properties if it says 3.6 ghz there then it's
cpu-z reporting it incorrectly

BenJ · 24 Jul 2007 at 19:02

yer says 3.6ghz in my computer properties, you sure its a fault with cpu-z?

C64 · 26 Jul 2007 at 23:05

yea if it says 3.6 in properties then it is 3.6 also look in bios.
Are you using cpu-z 1.40 ?

I fitted an E6850 today, and have just about everything Disabled on the CPU Configuration page, and Core Temp 0.95 is reading 21-22C for both cores, so I would think that this version of Core Temp is not calibrated for the new G-0 processors....however Everest gives a decent reading for the overall CPU temp (but not for each core individially), also PC Probe II gives something realistic as well.
