OC'd E6600, is it running hot??

[silent knight]

Hi all, this is my first post, so bare with me!
Ive a E6600, running on an abit AB9 mobo, with an artic freezer pro 7 cooler. also have a gainward 8800 GTS 320 GPU, X-cruiser case, with extra fans (ive added 2 extra front fans below DVD RAM drive (4x 80mm intake fans, 1x 120mm rear exhaust, 1x 80mm exhaust blow hole up top plus one small 40mm below the gpu, at rear of case).
Ive overclocked it to 3.2ghz and just concerned it may be running to hot. ive checked the heatsink is correctly fitted etc.
It idles around 33c and when under load from orthos, it'll run at around 47-53c.
Is this hot?? have i got it overvolted??
Im a bit new at this, so keep it simple. lol
i use it mainly for gaming, but also enjoy seeing how far it'll go, but before i do, i wanna check im ok so far.
Thanks guys

Thats not hot at all. Generally, if it's under 65c then it's fine.

What program are you using to measure those temps?

 

[silent knight]

using abits uguru ap.

 

[samzetec-s]

Those Temps are exactly the same as mine on the same processor overclocked to the same speed

Your temps are V good id say for air cooling

thats good news. will try n push it a lil further now.

Abit's uguru ap only shows the tcase temp. Download CoreTemp 0.95 and check your actual core temps. You will find they are a LOT higher than those listed in uguru.

Exactly what I was thinking

tried to run core temp, vista 64 really doesnt like it (it told me over 50 times before i had to restart just to stop it!! lol). i dont hink it likes speed fan either. any other suggestions?? is uguru than un-accurate?? surely not??

also, some more details...... im running 4gb of corsair 667 value select ram at 1.9v, with slightly loosened timimgs, 5 5 5 13. the cpu is actually set at minimum voltage (1.3500v).
im running at 355x9. as i type its idel at 29c, according to uguru

download everest, the free demo gives most readings.

[edit]
to nearly-quote yer man from the shaver ads (of yesteryear), I liked it so much I bought the full release. Well worth it for o/c on Vista 64, imo.

It's not that uGuru is not accurate, just that it reads the temps from a different location on the processor than CoreTemp and Everest. uGuru reads the tcase temp whereas CoreTemp and Everest both have the ability to read each individual core temp from sensors within the chip itself.

To give you some idea of the difference, my chip idles at 32c according to uGuru, yet the individual cores are 38,39,38,39 according to both CoreTemp and Everest.

ok, cool. thanks. so is 38,39 high for idle temps??

ok, cool. thanks. so is 38,39 high for idle temps??

I'd say not bad for 3GHz.

everest jsut made my day, im idling at 29c, this with it stepping down to x6 mind! noe running orthos blend, and its sitting around 45c. ugure, shows it 1-2 hotter. still very happy though. many thanks for the patience and help
