Hey all, just built the system up yesterday, got it all sorted now (keeping xp instead of vista for now)

E6300 @ Stock w/ AC7 using thermal pad that came with the AC7 set via bios to Qfan control (Not getting extra setup options in bios like i was told i should do :()
Asus P5N-E SLi
2GB OCZ PC6400 Ultra Low LAtency RAM
EVGA 8800 320MB Superclocked

Just wanted to check all is looking ok really :) I was thinking MB temp might be a tad high?

Also GPU is sitting at about 62C idle? :o

Hmm..i see, wierdest thing is its running in an Akasa Eclipse case, lots of room, 120mm fan pushing & pulling the air, any advice on what would be a help then? :)
 
It's called Everest...does lots of handy things like that.

First thing i would check is the CPU fan. Is it seated properly? If you had the same sort of fan i did it required quite a push to click all four legs in to place.
 
None of the programs I have installed will allow me to see GPU temperature sensor for some reason, anyone know why? Got a BFG 8800 GTS 320MB.
 
Sorted, GPU finally decides to show temperatures now. Your GPU does seem quite a lot higher than mine, I thought the eVGA coolers were better too.

Spec's are listed in my signature

What were you using to get all temps in one Mishima?

I think at the weekend when i get a chance i'll reseat the CPU cooler for sure, strange thing is, when in WoW (have been for 3 hours)

Nvidia Monitor shows GPU as 68C (+6)
Asus probe Shows CPU as 46 (+2)
CoreTemp shows: 51/54

I'm so confused right now, but nothing has crashed or smells funny, so thats a good sign! :D

Useful Ap.

Try a reseat, as suggested.
 
Ooops, sorry about the few questions pertaining to the same thing with the answer already posted! T'was late! :D

Will try a reseat asap! :)

Thanks!
 
Just a quick update from what everest found:

So CPU cool...cores hot, motherboard hot? I know i have pretty sufficient cooling with the 120mm at the front of the case and the back is pushing out a gale, gfx temps could be high due to the x-fi 2 slots below it maybe?

I'll be giving the cooler a reseat asap though! :D
 
Not too sure if thats high for the motherboard you have, different boards have different NB and SB cooling solutions, before I got my case my temps were 10C+ on my motherboard though. Best thing to do yeah is to when you have a chance reseat that CPU applying a thin layer of thermal paste. You only need a very thin layer, too much will ruin it.

depends what volts you have going through the northbridge and cpu as well. The key to temps is volts, not speed :)

Well as on the first pic, my vcore is 1.31, not sure what other readings i need to give you for that mate? :)

Ack! now i've been told thin layer and pea shaped dollop to squash!

Decisions!!

You have to download and install Ntune, then go into your drivers control panel, performance, then launch NvMonitor, then just click the little arrow in the bottom right corner to open the temperature box. :)

I wouldn't worry about the core temps tbh, my cores used to be 40-41, but now ive got my GTS in there they've gone up a couple of degrees from the extra heat from that, so they are idling 44-45 now, and mines all stock, doesn't matter though as its running perfectly fine, plus i have my Ac7 pro set to half speed, and to to pick up when the CPU gets hotter. :)

My GTS idles at about 54, i aint seen any higher than about 74 underload yet, and thats gaming for hrs. :D

That seems quite high for a 6300 @ stock. As an example my 6600 is overclocked to 3.015GHz and it is happy at 1.28. Drop the VCore to that and watch the temps fall...
