Q6600 Low temps

hellarda · 27 Dec 2008 at 17:12

hi

I was just wondering if these temps are actually accurate.

I have a Q6600 Oc'd to 3115Mhz. with a CNPS9700 NT

Ambient: 10C
Load(Intel Burn Test): 32C
Load(Prime 95 4 instances):28C
Idle:11-12C

they seem a bit low but i do have 15 fans in my case lol. could these be accurate?

cheers Ali

I'd have thought it unlikely. What are you using to get these temps? Check with coretemp if you've not already, it's what many people on here use. Some programs read the temp of the CPU from the socket which is cooler than the actual cores.

Let us know

Edit: Also you might want to check if your motherboard's BIOS is up to date, some old ones can report wrong temps but it's not as likely with a Q6600.

i have the most up to date bios version and i have used coretemp, realtemp and HWmoniter and they all report the same temps............

o and i used speedfan and everest all reported the same...............

Not accurate.

How hot does your HSF feel?

esK` · 27 Dec 2008 at 17:32

Not even water can keep it that cold. I would hazard a guess them temps are wrong, Possibly a sensor playing up.

hellarda · 27 Dec 2008 at 17:34

hsf feels freezing and the air comin out the back is cold to

hellarda · 27 Dec 2008 at 17:35

i can feel difference if i put hand over back of GPU it feels warm (35C according to speedfan) and then the air at the back of the hsf on CPU feels cold

What vCore are you putting through the CPU? Do you have any other processors you could test in that PC? Or another PC to test the current processor in?

That's fairly cool for a GPU also, depending what it is.

do you live in alaska.?

your room/house is bound to be warmer than that so how can the computer intake warmer air and make it cooler.? :S

have a look at the temps in the BIOS

ConTRo13R · 27 Dec 2008 at 18:45

With an ambient room temp of ten degrees then these could be correct? would have to be some uber airflow and cooling though?

hellarda · 27 Dec 2008 at 19:25

i do have pretty awesome airflow i have 3 custom wind tunnels for CPU + 2 9600Gt's (with palit coolers) SLI'd. am using 1.39Vcore.

the ambient temp is definately 10C

gurusan · 27 Dec 2008 at 19:58

your ambient temp is 10C?

brrrrrr.....

wtf man

then why ask if these temps are accurate.?

hellarda · 28 Dec 2008 at 20:27

i like the cold lol

Kennysevenfold · 29 Dec 2008 at 01:03

lucky you live here then...

lol

danielanthony · 29 Dec 2008 at 08:43

Must be noisy

hellarda · 29 Dec 2008 at 09:42

the only noise that covers it, is when my dads mowing the lawn directly below the window!!! lol

ConTRo13R · 29 Dec 2008 at 12:21

pictures and cooling specs please

i gotta see this!!!

willhub · 29 Dec 2008 at 13:36

No the temps are certainly wrong.

Only way it would be that cold is if it was snowing outside and -10 or something and you took your pc outa the case and sat it outside, maybe still not get that cold.

Sounds an awful cooling setup, dreadful if it is that loud.
