Celeron EE440

[Circlenaut]

I'm running a prime95 stress test on a home server running windows server 2008. After 1 hour the temperature stabilized at CPU: 56C and Core 0:68C. Why is there such a large difference between the two? Are these temperatures O.K.?

That's a fairly high temp for a Celeron at stock clocks. It sounds like you didn't get the heatsink completely seated. It isn't so high that it will damage the CPU, though.

try reseating your heatsink w/ a little thermal paste like mydocardia said. I would be a little worried because those are nearing the safe barrier for server operation 24/7 although I doubt whatever you do ever loads your cpu that much, it still is much more than what you should be running. My quad is cooler at load than that right now on air.

I think that temperature is just fine while running Prime. He's probably using the retail box HSF, and that thing is a $1 POS. It does not have a copper core and is short enough to fit inside a 2U chassis.
