OC'd 1.8 intel, its it too hot?

[hashberry]

Hi Guys,

I am very new to OC'ing and I just got my new hardware together and OC'd my allendale 1.8ghz
I used 350 for the FSB and 1.5 for the voltage.

My CPU block is at 36 degrees under load.

Is that something to worry about?

do you mean you have your e2160 at 9x350? that's pretty good...

my math is not so good...I thought that 1800 = 10x200 a minute ago. I was much more impressed with 10x350 than 9x

a 75% oc is, as cartman would say, "hella good". temp is fine, that's just bragging. download coretemp v .95.4 and tell us what temps you load at with orthos.

 

[hashberry]

its an e4300, 9x multiplier according to cpu-z

ok this coretemp proggie says im at 68 degrees, but the koolance says 38... any reason why such a huge discrepency?

 

[ViRGE]

CoreTemp is the right one. Koolance is not measuring the CPU die, or is measuring it incorrectly. 68C is awfully hot for that chip BTW, probably because you're using such a high voltage. You'll want to drop the voltage and get that chip cooler.

68C is super hot, but the chip should be able to stand it... bring it down a few C and it should be in "really hot" category; under 60 and it will be "quite hot".

Holy lurker, Batman, you waited 26 months to make your second post?:laugh:

And the answer to your question is, which one did you pay more money to, CoreTemp or Koolance? Because the free one wouldn't have any reason to lie, would they?

Is 68C at FULL load??
That would be OK, but not great.

68C at idle is smokin'.

As suggested, lower the Voltage and see if you can keep the clock the same.

If you have the OEM cooler mounted up properly, consider an aftermarket cooler and some Artic Silver 5.

If it's stable, it's not too hot, simple as that.

CoreTemp may actualy be showing your temp as 15c higher than it is. If I remember correctly it sees the Tjunction as 100c for Allendale, when it should be 85c..so you temps are really only 53c which isn't bad at all.

 

[hashberry]

yeah, coretemp says my allendale is a conroe?

 

[hashberry]

ok so i got this other proggie called speedfan, it says my cpu is 37c with each core at 42

ugh, which to believe....

 

[stevty2889]

Look in Core Temp, and see what it says Tjunction is..if it says 85c, then it's accurate, if it says 100C then it's actualy showing your temps 15c higher than they actualy are. Speedfan would be affected in the same way.

On my quad core, speedfan reports my temps 15c lower than they actualy are. Speedfan read the Tjunction at 85c when it's actualy 100c. The way it measures the core temps, is by measuring the differance from Tjunction. Tjunction - differance to Tjunction = core temp. For example right now I am reading 44c idle in core temp, which reads my Tjunction correctly at 100c. Speedfan reads my Tjunction at 85c(which is correct for dual cores, but wrong for quad) so speedfan is showing my temps as 29c.

 

[hashberry]

ok, coretemp has to be wrong, non clocked on boot up into windows it says my coretemp is at 45C, that seems way too high with an ambient temp here at 60F

using Orthos my cpu temp goes upto 58C

thank you for all your help guys

Yeah, I'm not sure what to believe either. I have a brand new C2Duo E4300 running at 9x340 (1.375v). Running orthos small-fft, CoreTemp shows the TJunction at 100, and individual core temp at between 73-77c. I'm finding it hard to believe that the cores are really that warm, since the HSF is only warm to the touch. What's correct? Is it really 15c lower?

Edit: All default voltages/fsb/etc, and it shows ~52c idle, 63-64c under load (orthos)
