Is 93C too hot?

I cant do anything about it coz I have cerebral palsy and also cant see very well at all. So to hell to the silly thing, if it blows up, it blows up.

If your unable to do it yourself, you should get whoever put your system together and have them check it - asap.

i will

Dude remove the sweary before a mod tells you to

metalmackey · 1 Nov 2007 at 23:07

Sorry, done

(the sweary)

Got my brother to have a look, he said he cant see coz the heatsink and fan is bigger than my wallet LOL. He gave it a little jiggle and said it seems on properly. Any easy way of telling?

It should only wobble if it's flexing with the motherboard. It's definitely not seated right.

He said it didnt move at all

I could cook my dinner on that cpu.. or maybe make a cup of tea?

metalmackey · 1 Nov 2007 at 23:26

Does it matter if its hot if its stable? At least I have an unusual kettle LOL

Trying coretemp now. Cores are at 60 to 63C at idle

Tjunction (whatever that is) says 100C.
For some reason its saying the CPU is a q6600 at 3000mhz but all other programs say qx6850.

Andeh · 2 Nov 2007 at 00:32

mine idles at 59c just keep an eye on it.

Cob · 2 Nov 2007 at 00:33

Tjunction is where it starts to throttle at.

I would really see about getting the heatsink re-seated with the minimum of paste.

Just looked in my bios. Vcore is on auto, hardware monitor says 1.40v and mem at 1.90v. Isnt the vcore meant to be lower?

Cob · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:09

At stock speeds?

CoreTemp will list the default vcore (VID) of your chip.

metalmackey · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:20

Coretemp VID says 1.1625v. Does the revision "GO" mean anything important?

Cob · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:28

Not really. All the QX6850's are revision G0.

1.1625v is really low. Maybe 1.2625v?

metalmackey · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:33

Coretemp deffo says 1.1625, Dunno if its telling the truth though

Cob · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:37

I'm guessing that CoreTemp is misreading the VID (judging by the fact it thinks it's a Q6600 too).

I'm not sure what the usual default vcore of the QX6850 is tbh. Tho 1.4v for 3ghz is probably right.

metalmackey · 2 Nov 2007 at 01:46

Just ran PC wizard 2008, thats saying the vcore is at 1.050v and temp is 50C. I think the low vcore is coz the CPU is at 2000mhz (speedstep is enabled).
At full load PC Wizard says vcore is 1.238v and temp 80c.

Hi,

I've been runing the Everest stress test for ov 17mins so far. One of the CPU cores is at 93C. Is that miles too high? No crashes yet though.

Thanks

Whats the other cores at?
