Q6600 go high temps

doctoromeo · 14 Oct 2007 at 19:31

3.2ghz 1.3vcore
Lapped hsf and q6600 .....hsf thermaltake 120 with 90mm fan
idle temps tat 52,49,49,54
full load tat 65,58,51,57
I guess i,ve just got a crap one?

I'd say your HSF either isn't fitted correctly, or you've used too much/too little TIM.

hmm.. one thing when I see this, whats your ambient temp in the case? Where is your computer positioned in relation to the central heating in that room.

That would suggest that your heatsink isn't fitted correctly, or more likely you have a very concave chip. A 14c load difference between the cores is mental.

Check that your HS is making proper contact with the CPU and not clashing with the retention bracket.

If it is, the bracket is easy enough to remove.

Does TAT load all four cores?

Actually it doesn't come to think of it.

In that case use Prime95 to load all 4 cores and see what the results are.

Jokester

correct. TAT only stresses the first two processors, so only one "Core"

doctoromeo · 15 Oct 2007 at 09:29

TAT was used only for temps .For full load i used Prime 25.4 four threads.
I have lapped cpu ,Its flat.
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro also lapped .
re-seated cpu 4 times using As5.
Sat here typin @3.151 ghz @1.26 vcore idle temps 48-44-44-49
system temps 42
Jokester ..havent checked bracket yet will try now.

So the question is what is being measured as your system temp?

Because if your cpu temp is only 4-6 degrees above your system temp sounds like all you need to do is lower your system temp and you will lower your cpu idle temp.

easy tune5 is what I used for system temps.

Try everest for temps. Its proved to be more acurate

Is Everest worth the investment? I see there is no free version out anymore.

It is.

Whilst most of its readings and tests can be gathered from various other programs, having it all in one place is great.

Thanks. Yeah I'm already running the trial. Just deciding whether or not to go for it.

CoreTemp is great also but obviously doesn't have the facilities of Everest. Everest also has some nice Gadget plugins for Vista.

I was just running my E6600 on Orthos, I've got it at 3.1GHZ, it reached 71 degrees 4 hours into the test, when before it was just below 65, which I was happy with.

I'm gonna defo invest in a new cooler considering my mobo is rubbish, I can't change the multiplier so I have to slam voltage in, I'm at 1.48 atm.

I agree some good gadgets, I would use the 30day trial version until you sort out temps. In my opinion i wouldnt purchase it though allthough it would really depend if you are going to utilize it properly to obtain your moneys worth really. Hope you get the temp issue sorted hopefully by re-seating the heatsink and a thin layer of artic.

HighlandeR · 15 Oct 2007 at 21:57

Cpu core (google it) its the most accurate cpu temp measuring proggy currently out there.
