E8400 temps?

[Bales1983]

Got my new parts this morning and all went ok but strange thing,

This mobo is compatible with the wolfdale and has latest bios.

Its running just fine but everest and speedfan can not find cpu temp sensors

coretemp gets em but one core appears to idle at 32 while the other is 42

when i run 2 instances of toast 32 rises to 40-41 but 42 stays at 42? ive seen it hit 41 once but no other change?

Dodgy temp sensor?

Will it cause trouble?

Are you sure the second core is idle when at 42?

Wrong forum btw

Same with my E8400 one of them always says 35 unless im under full load then it will go higher but never lower. Other one shows 29-33 at idle and of course changes when underload.

Yep, known problem with 8400s. You've probably got a stuck temp sensor on one core.

You're lucky - my 8400 temps were being reported at 244 degrees in bios! (Completely untrue of course!) These wolfdales (and possibly the new quads too) have temperature reporting problems. Unlikely to be anything else wrong tho.

I've heard on OCN that some of the 8400's have bad sensors.
