e6600 temps

[jcgamo88]

I've got my e6600 OCed with a Scythe Ninja Plus Rev. B. What baffles me is the temperature. I noticed the AT guys got a quad core to functiuon under load at the same temp I idle at.

I applied Artic 5, perhaps jsut abrely more than the "grain of rice" size they specify, and have a 120mm intake, 80mm side intake, stock Scythe Ninja on the HS, and 120mm exhaust all at maximum.

I'm providing 2 screen caps in a second. 1 at Orthos load, and the other at idle.

Also, what's witht he large discrepancy in the vcore readings between cpuz and ntune?

I've got the vcore set to auto, I figure I can't really drop it much without losing stability. All voltages are at auto except the RAM voltage which I manually set.

Try setting your voltage manually for your CPU in your BIOS try 1.35v and see if you can get into windows and run orthos stablely 1.45v is what I'm using to be at 3.4ghz... so that's WAY to much for that speed.

Re-apply your AS5. You're supposed to put a thin line down the middle, not a grain of rice. Check the arctic silver website and you'll see what I'm talking about.

And like bfdd said, your voltage is kinda high, that's probably why your temps are kinda high.

Also, try reading your temps with other programs, like Speedfan, coretemp, and the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool.

Another thing I noticed is your insanely high GPU temp for not doing anything intensive and no overclock, I'm at like 54C idle and mine is at 655/1053 on my GPU using stock hsf. When you boot into vista press f8 and do Disable Driver Signature Authorization and turn off UAC then install rivatuner and set your fan to be 100% at all times, you'll notice a big difference in temps. CPU-Z says I'm at 1.416v @ 3.4ghz

I followed the on site manual exactly. It states apply a line about the length of a small grain of rice, and a razor or something similar to spread. I think, that if I had to re-apply the AS5, I'd also lap the heat spreader.


I didn't think I'd get it stable at 1.35, but it's working fine. Thanks. I'll see how low I can get it to stay stable. I'm restarting to get the driver signing off.

No, you must have read the wrong instructions then.

E6600 = Intel Dual Core CPU. Here are the instructions for applying AS5 to an Intel Dual Core CPU.

Oh wow.. I did read the wrong instructions. But the temp is right around where it should be now. I figured the thinner the layer the less efficiency loss would occur anyhow, so long as the entire spread is covered. Thanks! I guess I might end up lapping it anyhow.


@bfdd, fan always at 100% lowered temps to 62-63 at idle. I have no OC on it. It's foxconn, but to my knowledge that would only mean a different paint job.

I'll work on lowering the temps for the 8800gtx. But I'd like to know if anyone could tell me the scalability of heat if I wanted to OC it? Also, what should my temps be for RAM? My case has a built in thermometer and it's registering around 40-42 at any given time. And one more thing, why is Ntune displaying different voltages in windows than i see on my bios? I set the FSB at 1.3v (+.1).

And any way to stop the vCore from changing during idle periods and load periods?

 

[bfdd]

because ntune is showing what it's set at to in bios i believe, i don't know monitor hates running and constantly crashes for me so i just use cpuz now.

I guess I also apply the AS5 wrong way then a few month ago. So in plain english, all I need to do is to apply as5 in a thin line and put the heatsink on top of it, correct? What I did before was i spread AS5 evenly across the heatspreader. THAT would explain my system instabiolity recently. God it will be a pain to reapply the Arctic freezer pro 7.

Try getting one of these for the 8800 GTX. It lowered my temp by around 7-8 C.

Is intel speed step turned off in the bios? You might see it referred to as EIST or something like that.

You might even try 1.3v for your CPU. A lot of these e6600s can do 3gHz at stock or mild over-volt, so it might be worth a try. With a Ninja, I would think you could get in the 50s on this overclock under load.

62-63C idle on your video card is fine. Nvidia's official max gpu core temp is in the 100s (125 or something like that). I think most people try to keep it under 85 as a general target, but you have lots of headroom to work with.
