Monitoring New System Temp

[mwvirk]

Hello friends,

Here is my new system specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 G0 SLACR (Stock fan)
Mobo: Asus P5Q (P45 chipset)
RAM: Transcend 4GB (2GB x 2 GB)
GPU: XFX 8800GT 512MB (stock fan)
Case: ThermalTake Armor (normal cooling system with casing - no additional fan)PSU: ToughtPower 750Watt
HD 1: Seagate 200GB IDE ATA (Bootable)
HD 2: Seagate 250GB Sata
HD 3:Maxtor 1TB Sata
DVD-Rom: LG DVD-RAM
Audio: PCI Creative Audigy 2 7.1
OS: Windows XP Professional 32bit

And here I need your help after running these tests:

I switch on my computer with
weather temp approx. 48*C
and
room temp was approx. 30*C

windows xp came up and asus temp monitoring tool started automatically (tool came in p5q mobo box)

and I got following temp on startup:

CPU 42
Mobo 30

Monitored temp for 30 min idle (did not even touch mouse/keyboard) and noticed that
Cpu (very slowly increased) reached to 44*C and stopped there (no increase in temp)
Mobo reached (very fast) to 42*C and stopped there (that mean it max)

No change in above temp for 30 min

Then I put 100% load on cpu for 25 min and got following temp:
Cpu 57 or 58 and stopped here (not going to 56 or 59)
Mobo 44 and stopped here (no change here)

Ran above 100% load for 25 and there was no change in above temp.

Then stopped load and put system idle again and monitored for 15 min
Cpu reached 45 & stopped here
Mobo reached 43 and stopped here

Monitored above temp for 15 min and there was no change.

Friends need your help… is it ok and still I need to bring temp more down (but how)

Thanks alot

note: i am not doing any over clocking....

What is the question?

That looks like perfectly normal CPU behaviour to me, so I'm not really sure why you posted this...

What is the question?

i was just asking if above tests were ok and temp is normal or do i need to do something to bring down more temp and if i need to bring down temp then how i can do it with mentuoned specs...

because i am not sure about these temp and need to know if these are ok... thnx for ur comments that these temp r okay...

thnx

what heatsink do you have?

what heatsink do you have?

stocked heatsink and fan.
normal thermaltake armor casing with only 1 additional 140mm fan on front.

 

[flak-spammer]

for a room temp of 30C those seem too low.

Edit: Have you looked at using CoreTemp or RealTemp to monitor the temperature of each CPU core.

so, u r satisfy with my system temp and the test...

but when i am playing crysis or moh-airborne my gpu goes to 80+ mobo 48+ & cpu 58+ it is ok and i can cont. playing games or do i have to find some solution to bring the temp more down... BUT WHAT SHOULD BE THE BEST SOLUTION

In the ideal world it would probably be best to get a heatsink that can handle more heat, btw try using CoreTemp, instead of the asus monitor to check the CPU temperature. The CPU temp you see in the asus monitor is probably that of the IHS located in the center of the chip. There are monitors on each CPU die that should be much more accurate.

thnx for reply. already tried core temp and speed fan and real temp tools.... there is not much diff and all shows almost same like asus tool... (may b 1*C less or more)

Do you know what your Vcore is? That highly relates to temperature.

Those temperatures are all perfectly safe. However, if you want to bring them down, you'll have to invest in aftermarket cooling for your CPU and video card. It isn't necessary though.

Vcore is 1.12v to 1.15v normally 1.13v
(above keeps changing but mostly i have noticed its showning 1.13v)
