Everest sensor reading question

Chris19 · 2 Jun 2007 at 13:18

I have been running Orthos for about 3 hours then looked at Everest to check the temperatures for the cpu. This is what i get:

Could someone tell me why it shows the cpu at 46 but core 1 is 67 and core 2 is 61. Also would the lowish volts be a problem, for example the 3.3V is only 3.25 and the 12V is only 11.17.

This is on a over clocked 3800X2 which is currently at 2.6Ghz, i haven't seen any problems so far in games and other applications so does the slight drop in voltages really matter?

The CPU is the reading from the socket sensor on the motherboard.

CPU core readings are from the CPU itself.

Trust the CPU core readings (which I would try and lower a little if possible to <60c.

The voltages are within spec so I wouldn't worry about them.

Thanks for the reply

It's highly likely the vcore of 1.55v (what's it set to in the BIOS?) is why your temps are so high and the motherboard and CPU temps seem to be swapped as there is very little possibility your case (motherboard) temp is 61c. Also your cooling setup must be quickly expelling the heat from the CPU for it to be only 67c max with 1.55v.

What's the max speed you can get with 1.4v (as using that would likely reduce the core temps by at least 10c)?

I was away to start lowering the volts to the cpu see how low it can go before coming unstable. When i did over clock this chip which was a while ago i remember it not wanting to do much without a lot of volts. The only cooling on the cpu i have is an Arctic cooler 64 pro.
