Has anyone got the E8400 reporting the right temps?

Trouble is CPU-Z and what ever else aren't actually brilliant at measuring voltages. If you've set 1.2950, the lowest it would probably go with vdroop is 1.27.
 
This is the oldest E8400 on the forum and it's still going fine - (crosses fingers:D)

Bought back in the old days when you could get one for less than a E6750.

tbh OP you can treat the CPU-Z Vcore figure with a pinch of salt... mine does not budge (different mobo though) and even though my Vcore is at 1.35 or slightly under, CPU-Z reckons its at 1.150V.. its said that when i was at stock too lol.
 
There isn't any way to reliably read the temps on Wolfdales.
Initialy this is worrying but you get used to it.
 
I'm finding that my E8400 needs 1.44v (this is on CPU-Z - BIOS setting is higher) to be orthos stable at 450x9. Temps are fine though at 33 idle/54 under load (using Real Temp). Have not noticed any cpu degredation thus far and its been operating on this setting for some time now.

So far only the volts to cpu have been increased, ram remains at 2.1 which is the correct value. Is there anything else I can do to get a stable 450x9 with lower than 1.44 v?

To the original poster, I have the IP35 pro and initially its BIOS reported CPU temp at 127 degrees like yours, I flashed the BIOS and it now reads 4 degrees! looks like its one extreme to another with E8400's!!
 
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.

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?

The major factor in Super Pi times is the cache which is why the Wolfdales are generally much faster than the Conroes (50% more L2 cache) yet increases in clock speed of a given processor doesn't yield that much improvement. My E8400 is at 4Ghz and still only produces 11s Super Pi times.

this my setting on a e8400 im at 1.3v aswell anything higher and it starts playing up

tell you wats bugging me though is whats the point of the .5 in the multiplier everytime i select it i jumps back to nearest number ??

The Half Multi not working is down to the Mobo+Bios (I thought only the E8500 that had Half Multi's).
