Speedfan 15C too low ya right.

Yeh, coretemp wont work on his 64-bit OS, so he'll be using speedfan. Speedfan is 15decrees too cold. And yeh, Orthos will be out too im guessing.

You're getting same temps as meish - high 20's low 30's idle, 55max

and 1.4v is a lot of cpu voltage..lol

and you jumped straight from stock to 3.2GHz? risky.

That means my Sempron OC'd on 1.51Vcore running at 52C load would have been running at 67C load. On 1.51V it would have burned out in a second.

Yes?

It's too low for some of the new Intel CPUs - I think only the G0 stepping ones are afflicted by this.

seems to be only too low for the latest Q6600's and newer cpu's.

and 67C will not burn out a cpu.

The newest version of speedfan has a fix for this issue.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

what version would that be? ^^

I'm sure he means that the newest version has the ability to add +15C (or whatever you choose) to the core temps. I know for a fact that the newest version doesn't automatically read the core temps right for the G0 steppings; it didn't for mine, anyway.

i think 4.33 corrected for this, but i know 4.34 temps are correct w/o any offset.

The reason they were 15C too low is because it reads temperatures as a -temp from Tjunction, or max temp the proc can handle. the tjunction on the old chips was 85c, the tjunction on new chips was 100C. becauce of that change, temps on the new chips was reading 15C too low.

where can we get version 4.34?

It didn't, that's the latest official version, which I have installed on my system.

I had no idea that there was a beta out, but it seems there is. So the beta reads the core temps correctly, huh? That's good to know.

Orthos works just fine in Vista 64-bit, FWIW. I ran my E6600 at a 1.4V overclock with a wire unknowingly stopping the CPU fan on my CNPS9500 for about 10 minutes. I was like "wth, why is the system only responding half the time?". Speedfan then told me that I was running my CPU at 70C, so I presume that the throttle temp for my E6600 is 85C.

you can get 4.34 off the speef fan website in the beta area

I was reading somewhere in Tom's Hardware that only the new Mobile Intel Chips are reporting correct tJunctions @ 100c and that desktops, despite what coretemp says, are still 85c. I will search and will try to find the cites for you.

Sorry, should have specified that it was the Beta. It's been a while since I installed it and I honestly couldn't remember if it was in 4.33 or not.
