Need the help of the experts

can anyone see anything wrong with this.......

The things that concern me is I know I have 3 stuck sensors on the cpu. They only move when a certain temp is reached when testing at full load. Is this a problem?..Can i trust these temps as being true?......also when doing the test i notice that the voltages dont look right. The 12v rail was running at about 10.6v during the test and the 3.3v was 0.13...is that normal?

I bought the chip last Friday...is having stuck sensors enough reason to take it back?...or is it not a big problem

the system is water cooled....the only things i have changed is the FSB...the cpu voltage tweaked up to 1.275....and Memory voltage to 2.1...to achieve this overclock....not to sure what else to change to get it higher....i am still learning


any thoughts please

I wouldn't worry too much - Intel CPUs have a thermal trip so if it gets to a temerature threshold that is approaching a level where damage will occur, it simply shuts off the CPU.

You could try Everest:

Or Coretemp:

Or Intel Burn Test:

to see if you can get a more accurate reading.

Your temps are very good though

There's also a new CPUz here:

just pay attention to load temps. The new Yorkfield/Wolfdale sensors cant really determine temps under 39c or so anyway

plus if your underwater, you can go up to 1.4v and not have to worry about load temps really.
