Has anyone got the E8400 reporting the right temps?

Using a Abit IP35 Pro motherboard?? If so please tell me how, cos in the bios it says its 127c and with coretemp its 45c idel and 50c stressed

Thats what its on at the moment, and it still fails in Orthos, but Im sure its not cos of the temps cos like sometime it fails within the first few mins when my room is quite cool, and other times it will go for a hour+ when my room is hot.

Ive tried increasing the mem and cpu volts a tiny bit, but still no diff, so Im running out of ideas what I could change, do I need to disable or change any of the cpus features in the bios?? The mem timings and speed look ok dont they??

Oh yeh it does 13secs in superpi at 3.4gh. I wouldnt of thought it would do it as quick, I was expecting about 14 - 15secs at 3.4ghz??

your cpu volts look very low to me
put to 1.3 in the bios
and then try 420 fsb

Increasing the cpu voltage scares me a bit cos the wolfs cant handle high volts, and this cpu has to last me for about 2yrs,, so if I put it to 1.3, will my cpu last 2yrs??
 
Ok Ive upped the voltage to 1.3 but in cpu z its reading 1.2v, is this normal, and what one is right? Ive banged it up to 3.6 and its working, The temps are 53c, (idel is 45c), so I will run orthos for a hour, at a time, and keep droping the votage down untill it fails, then put it up 1, good idea??

Im soooo glad Youve helped me figger out the prob guys, the super pi has only gone down 1sec,, I would have thought a extra 200mhz would have lost at least another 2secs or more?
 
thanks a lot niko. I think I will keep it at 3.6, cos its stupidly fast anyway, but thats the reason I got this cpu cos I knew it would go to 3,6 and 3.6 was my goal. Plus I have the memory running at its proper speed too 400mhz.
 
Ok found the voltage where the cpu fails in orthos so Ive put it up 1 notch. I cant remrmber what it was in the bios, but in cpu z It says its at 1.19v Is that ok?? I shouldnt kill my cpu should I??
 
Well now ive increaed the volts fo the e8400, the temps in the bios are now reporting 1 - 3c. With the stock voltage it reports 127c... very odd
 
Just rased the voltage up another notch to 1.3v windows reports 1.2, cos ortho failed with in 30mins. To rule out the cause of it failing due to heat, Ive got my fire on, and in my room its 26c and cpu is 60c atm. been running orthos for 43 mins and it hasnt failed yet, whan it failed last time, room temp was 24c and cpu was saying 57 - 58c.
