Quick temperature question

[Spartacus]

Hi, my Q6600 is showing cpu temp 50c on 100% load and around 30c idle @2.61ghz,

...I know the 50c reading for cpu is fine, but it also shows each seperate cpu core at nearly 70c, is that normal when cpu reading is around 50c?

 

[kkthxbye]

doesnt sound normal to me, what program you using for your temps? make sure you got the newest version, id coretemp.exe and tat.exe see what each of them give you.

Im using Everest ultimate edition 4.00

It shows CPU temp, then CPU core 1,2,3,4 which read higher than cpu temp

Everest Ultimate shows the same temps as CoreTemp

The quad cores are hot running, no doubt about that. Under full load my QX6700 shows 70C and higher. It's OK, there is nothing much you can do about it apart from watercooling. Or at least repalce the stock heatsink with a Tuniq or similar

this is what everest is showing at the moment...

motherboard - 28c
cpu - 32c
cpu core 1 - 44c
cpu core 2 - 47c
cpu core 3 - 44c
cpu core 4 - 43c
harddrive - 31c

thats idle, but It hasnt long come off load.

Whats the difference between cpu temp and each seperate core temp? As i was advised that 60c on load is the max u really want with this cpu. I asume thats the 32c at the moment and 50c on load, not the seperate core temps?

My Q6600 (stock speed) current temp on idle is...

56c

and thats with a Coolermaster GeminII and 2 x 120mm Noctua fans/Arctic Silver 5 etc...

Would love to OC it but temps will go through the roof

not happy!
