Poll for Asus/ conroe users temps

[EXEEMLITE]

As stated, many threads are posting issues with temperatures, mostly with asus boards. Lets get a quick census of people out there with the same issue.

 

[EXEEMLITE]

WELL I THOUGHT I COULD BUILD A POLL?

 

[zsdersw]

35-36 degrees C with my E6300, Gigabyte DS3 motherboard, F4c bios

 

[Compellor]

E6400 @ 2.13 GHz = 34C idle

E6400 @ 2.4 GHz = 46C idle

Intel stock HSF.

ASUS P5B (non-deluxe), 309 BIOS.

 

[neuralnut]

Rig 1 E6400, Zalman 9500 3.2 GHz 32C idle 45C load

Rig 2 E6400, Zalman 9500 3.2 GHz 35C idle 48C load (concave top on CPU, not lapped yet)

 

[Henny]

The above responses are totally meaningless without specifying the ambient.

 

[neuralnut]

Absolutely right, ambient here is about 20 degrees C. It's much colder outside, but 4 computers in a small room is very effective heating

 

[belorus18]

ambient 70F
e6400 on asus P5B
acording to core temp
idling-43c
load-54c

according to PC Probe 2/Bios
idling-51c
load-66c

i refitted the HSF 5 times with mobo out of the case, tryed all the termal greases from silver to what ever.

What speed are you running at, and what heatsink are you using?

 

[Mudokon]

hey BELORUS18, oh man, im in the same boat, 45C idle, 55-57C on load/cpu stress test.

i got a e6400, p5b vanilla

and a ZALMAN 9500 AT, redid the thermal compound last night, too much on there so not great contact, rebooted, STILL idle 45c

any ideas anyone, about Belorus18 and my problem?

ambient temp is 60F-70F, case temp is 30C

 

[TreyRandom]

My room temp is approximately 72F-74F, and I'm getting 38C-40C idle and 45C full load on a non-o/ced E6300 on a vanilla P5B with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 and Arctic Silver 5 in a P180B case.

Temps were measured using Asus PCProbe II.

 

[Mudokon]

yeah only idea i have for my crappy temp not being 5C lower, is case, but i opened the crap one i have now, let the cpu run, pointed one of the side wall fans at the cpu, no change.

Guys I just added the poll. 5 in the morning was not a good time for my brain to be thinking
The reason I started this thread was to get an idea of what percentage of people are experiencing this situation. I am now on my 2nd p5b deluxe, 3rd heatsink and 15+ seatings of said hsf's. The ninja was by far the worst. idle 51c. The stock was 41, but got crazy when I attempted to oc. Im talking 55 idle at 2.66g.
Now I am at 48c oc'd to 3.2 in a 28c room ( the room is an add on and the a/c is horrible in here). Now like most of you I have done my share of reading And I feel it has to be a bad sensor. I believe someone has said intel states the the e6000 series becomes unstable at 61c.
Well Core Temp, Everest Ultimate, T.A.T., sisoft and so on all running at different times give me temps well into the high 70's, while orthos is nailing at 100cpu on both cores for an hour with no issues. Well other than the 78c reading on a few of these metioned. I HOPE/KNOW that these reading can't be true. How are these guys at xtremesystems getting these insane 100% oc???. I have an almost identical set up to one guy that is hitting 4+. My best guess is that the temps are somewhere between 10-15c off. Does anyone have any insight on this. The asus forum is riddles with the same issues, but no help from the big boys, hope our guru's here can shed some light on OUR situation

I like the idea of this poll, but it's not going to provide any useful data if some people respond based on their core temp readings, while others respond with their cpu socket (mobo cpu sensor). I'm going batty always having to repeat this in the various threads. The reading you see in ASUS Probe, or the BIOS, is taken from a sensor on the mobo, while other apps like CoreTemp take reading from sensors on the CPU die. No meaningful conclusion can be drawn from data that is a mix of these two types of readings.

Well my e6600 on my p5b deluxe was showing around 75 degrees Celcius in my bios. Remounting the heatsink has it 42-43 idle for now. I think I need to reapply the thermal past now however. I can't boot into windows so I can't tell you temperature under load. I'll report back tommorow cause I need some goo off

Btw ambient temperature is around 26 degrees Celcius.

 

[Some1ne]

The chips are good up to 75 degrees? Sounds like I have a ton of extra headroom then.

 

[Rasico]

I wouldn't say good up to 75 degrees, I was only in the bios and I was scared as hell I was going to kill my proc. Also I'm not sure if the bios was reporting correctly originally, I sure hope not!

 

[Rasico]

 

[Rasico]

Well I got almost every part of my new rig working (I need a freaking adapter, that no retail store has!), using a program called sensorview pro 2.1 I'm showing idle temps at 35 degrees.

I just found another way to lower temps for those of you not interested in overclocking: under-volting. On my ASUS P5W DH vcore at auto delivers roughly 1.32v to the cpu. I am able, however, to lower the vcore all the way down to 1.25, so I did so. I ran dual prime for an hour, pcmark05, 3dmark06, 3dmark05, and some memory benchmarks, all without issue or degradation in performance. Awesome. So, how does this affect temps? Significantly!

Check out these idle temps for my E6600/P5W DH Deluxe:
(FSB 266, vcore 1.25)

CPU (mobo sensor): 26C
CPU core1: 42C
CPU core2: 42C
MOBO: 36
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500

That's a 10C drop on the core temps.

[EastCoastn07]

Well, I made a thread about this yesturday and I'm idling anywhere in low to high 50s. I too have a P5B Deluxe and have reseated twice now and still no improvement. I ran speed fan and it says I'm idling at 41 degrees C so I really don't know who to trust. My mobo is also around 40-45 degrees C.

I really don't know what's going on, this is my first build and I'm really trying to lower the temps a little, its kinda hard when you dont know what readings to trust.

 

[tastykellogg]

EastCoast, I have exactly same problem. I've grown to develop some sorta phobia of heat. Mine idles around 42 or so and never went over 52 under load but I want to be able to OC soon but with this temp, I don't see a chance...I'm going to upgrade the CPU fan and see how it goes...

 

[Some1ne]

My mobo is also around 40-45 degrees C.

Um, how many case fans do you have going? The only time I've seen temps like that from the mainboard sensor have been times when my exhaust fan stopped spinning. If you don't have enough fans pushing the hot air out of your case, adding some extra ones could help out significantly. And case fans are nice, because they're not expensive, like CPU fans.

 

[imported_celticbattlepants]

My set up is:

P5W DH
Core 2 e6400 OEM oc'd to 2.88Ghz
AC Freezer 7 Pro

etc

Ambient temps range from 20C today up to 27C. Idle temp has never gone above 32 (using ATI tray tools and PC Probe II). Idle temp now is 28-29C. Highest load temp I have seen is 42C. This is from a few weeks of testing using dual Prime95s as well as 3d gaming (Call of Duty 2, BF2, Titan Quest). ATI tray tools creates a graph of your temps (plus other measurements, VGA temps etc), and tells you the max and min recorded temps over the period of time you have been using it.

Im not sure why my temps are much lower than others here, as my chip is overclocked by 700MHz, my case has a single exhaust fan and a single chassis fan blowing air into the case.
