What temps are people getting with the quads in a SFF and with what speed ?

Swapped out my E6600 for a new Quad G0 , temps look a little high to me tho,

idle
 
You've stuck an overclocked quad core in a sugo - come on, thats going to struggle at stock. Every other person who has put a quad into a sugo has either said it runs hot and does not fully load it or has tried to fit water cooling.

Personally I will not be putting the current quads into my sugo, although I may be tempted by phenom/penryn when they are released.
 
A few people have put quads in sugos and had no massive temps to worry about. average overclock seems to be about 3.2.

I will probably get a quad in my sugo when get time and have no worries about temps as there are a few good cooling methods about.

This is what I thought, temps certainly aren't bad unless you start adding volts.

Hopefully Biffa will be along at some point to add some clarity to the thread. :)
 
Idle seems high, dropping from a session of crysis or etqw temps are around mid 55-58 which seems ok, cant log stuff at the min as my everest logging is borked . .
 
I'm concerned when my sugo hits 60 on load, as all the heat is going out via the psu. As I said thats hot, but if you want to keep using it, its your pc :rolleyes:

lol lsg1r save the rolleyes ;) these chips are rated a lot higher, systems sound and in no danger of blowing up or melting, just interested in peoples idle temps and what sort of clocks there running :)

I wasn't actually thinking of the cpu I was thinking more of the psu :p
 
I've not put a quad in a sugo, depends on how its cooled. I take it those temps in the OP are idle temps? What do you get running Prime 25.4 (does quad cpus) see here

I've had my G3 (much hotter) Q6600 up to 85C in my mATX case, just fitted watercooling, doing a build log at the mo. Looks like I've been able to drop at least 10 degrees off whilst increasing the clock.
 
my temps in my cube case on each core are around 35 - 50c on load:

That sounds about right, however when most of us talk about temps under load we mean using Prime 25.4 and Coretemp which you can download here

That way we are all talking about the same temps, as things like EasyTune aren't measuring the core temperatures in the same way and are about 15 degrees out.

Could you try those programs and post a screenshot? Thanks!
 
Nice looking case musx64.

Reseated the heatsink last night, Cant fit my crossflow in with the 8700 so gonna mod and and fit a panaflo externally at the back where the crossflow goes.

Coretemp does not work in Vista x64 even if you run it in Administrator mode, here have a look:

I have tried PCwizard 2007 - here is a shot:

is this ok.
 
That PCWizard seems closer to the truth, the idle temps were between 45 and 52C, which sounds about right for your setup I would think.
 
cool thanks for the reply Kezmo :)

i might go for it if i go intel 1 day. unless there gonna make a 38 matx board

I think there is a G35 chipset on the way, not sure what improvements it brings over G33 though.

Doubt we'll ever see P35 or X38 on a microATX board as I don't think those chips can work with the physical limitations of the form factor.
 
dunno if this helps but just stuck a GO Q6600 in my Shuttle SD37P2, clocked to 3 gig at an additional 0.5v and my idles temps are

#1 - 50
#2 - 48
#3 - 48
#4 - 48

only thing running is Azareus [bit torrent client], and all my fans set to ultra quiet

hoping temps will drop a few degrees when my SP35P2 [P35]arrives
