Is this too hot?

Been running orthos dual core for 2 hours now no errors.

Coretemp .95 between 58 and 65 average about 61 degrees
TAT is fairly constant between 58 and 60 degrees

It's a e4300 on GA-P35_DS3P with arctic freezer 7 pro overclocked to 3Ghz

Want to go out for a few hours, am I oK to leave this?

Fan does not go above 2100 so it's got some spare cooling left, don't want to come home and find fire engine / burnt out box.


Thanks

Not bad with that cooler TBH - what voltage is the e4300 at?

I think voltage is one setting lower than 1.375, 1.36875 is it?

Idle temps are still 39-44 in tat / coretemp0.95

Will this be OK long term?

Thanks

Try running TATs test thingie. That heats up my cpu a lot more than any other program. But if it doesn't go much above what you have already said it will be fine.
 
Jesus what does TAT do in those tests.

Orthos on blend and test cpu / ram was sticking mainly around 58-62 with for 2:30mins

Set TAT test going and cpu1 shot up to 67, then 68 within seconds, then i bottled out cpu2 was fairly static (for like 20 seconds) at 62-63

that was with the cpu fan on full blast.

Not sure if I should leave it at 3ghz now. Am I right in thinking that under normal use, the cores would only hit these temps occasionaly if I left it at 3ghz?

Would encoding / transcoding dvds work the cpus as hard?

Thanks
 
I must have a good chip then because mine never goes above what you see below.

any case fans? also reseating the heatsink might help, but other than that i dont know - tried turning off the setting which makes the fan slow down when temps are low? also because of that cooler having the cpu fan at a 90 degree angle to the heatsink, youll want the cpu cooler on the way around where the exhaust fan helps it, because if the exhaust fan and the cpu fan are blowing air towards eachother no hot air will leave the case. although if the airflow is "already correct" then nothing to worry about, 60c at load wont kill it.

sorry for triple post, was an accident

Got an 8cm side fan blowing in, 12cm exhaust fan at rear blowing out, 12cm on front blowing in but not on at moment, psu sucks loads of air out too, never know a psu shift so much air. arctic freezer 7 pro is on full blast 2500rpm and pointing at the rear exhaust fan. The case fans are on a controller and don't make that much difference to core temps when turned full on or down.

I'm running DVD Rebuilder which is about the most intensive thing i'll do and it's not going past 57degrees which I'm happy with.

I am still worried that tat made one core go up to 68degrees in a matter of seconds. I have all the safety settings off in the BIOS to ensure a stable voltage for the overclock. Will the cpu throttle itself if it gets scared?

Would you guys run this hot?

thanks

Hi Chris

You are braver than me. What's your speed / voltage?

Have you tried the tests in TAT on both cores?

And have you tried core temp0.95 this tends to be higher than TAT for me.
 
fine at those temp. no long term issues.

my E4300 was averaging 62 under 24/7 load of f@H.

new case has reduced temps to mid 50's now with better airflow but same overclock to 3ghz.
 
OK I'll stick with it then 3Ghz it is.

How long was it f@h ing for?

If I did run the TAT tests again, what temperature would people bottle out and stop the test? I stopped at 68degrees but is this OK really? I mean would it be OK to run at 70 for an hour or so?

Now the cpu is done, anyone know about memory? Should I just leave my memory at stock speed then as it's 1:1 at the moment 667mhz 4-4-4-12. stock voltage at moment.

memory is 2 x Corsair (CM2X1024-5400C4) 1024MB, DDR2-5300/5400 (667/675MHz) Twin2X Matched Memory Pair
