Puzzling is what PC Hardware is all about, most of us used to just play with a rubics cube, now we have the PC to keep us amused!Kaiju said:It is puzzling however how a CPU can determine the accuracy of program that measures temps, rather than the diode/internal sensor on the mobo itself.
I lapped my E6300 and was very surprised how high the corners sat.Kaiju said:I'll post some pics of before and after with results of any further reduction in temps as soon as i've lapped my SI-120 and IHS. I'll void my CPU, but what the hell.
With sufficient airflow in your case, it will hold its own against the big boys.VortX said:Just a quickly by seeming you lot are all experienced in the cooling biso is the Zalman CNPS9700-LED Aero Flower any good, I plan on getting a Intel E6600 and overclocking it to 3.2-3.4Ghz?

As far as I am aware, the temps on Core2 Duo processors are taken from the cpu itself, its not like the old style cpus where the sensor is on the mobo.
I wanna know why the temp reading on the e4300 is so different to that of the e6xxx series?

But I suggest you quickly snap up a Tuniq Tower on special offer this week.
Generally considered the best heatsink this side of the cooling market.
Your CPU temp is most likey wrong, can't see the 'loaded' dual-core being 2 degrees lower than the motherboard?platypus said:I'm happy with it
Yeah but the thing is Im not ordering anything until April and Also I wanted the Zalman one for its looks
Can't install TAT for some reason, throws an error.Big.Wayne said:Your CPU temp is most likey wrong, can't see the 'loaded' dual-core being 2 degrees lower than the motherboard?
Have u got an Intel motherboard? what does TAT say?
The Laughing Ma said:If he's taking the temp off PC Probe then it will be wrong. PC Probe always measures lower than the temp TAT gives in some case up to 15C lower depending on weather PECI is enabled or not.
I run the cooler you're looking at on an E6600. The chip is OC'd at 3060MHz and runs at 38idle, 55-57 load. (Using TAT) I could push the chip to the 3300MHz range but see no actually point beyond bragging rights.
