Are these good temps?

I just overclocked my e4300 with an P5N-E SLi to 3ghz and with a scythe Ninja I get the temps of 42C Idle and 65 Load.

Is it too high?
 
Those aren't to bad, there not great though. 65c Load is max I like to run anything at but that's just my opinion.

What Voltage are you running to hit that and what program are you using for your temps.


Just to give you an idea I've seen a few posts people in 30's idle not that 42 is awful but just to compare.
 
Um stock volts and Coretemp, Speedfan and ASUS Pc Probe although my speedfan says my cpu is only 29c.

I hear the new Coretemp is 15C offset?
 
If you are running at stock voltage then load temp IMO is too high, it's not really dangerous but still seems high.


If you get the newest speedfan and core temp those two should give you same temp. They now read from the same sensor. Both of those will normaly give you higher temps than ASUS Pc Probe at least that is my experiance and it also makes since.

If you are getting 65c with coretemp or Speedfan then I would remount your Ninja. Make sure you get your chip and HS clean and get some ArticSilver and remount.
 
I just changed the fan and now its 37C and 60C. Is that better?
 
Ya those temps are fine and after a week or so you may see another few degrees drop after thermal paste "breaks in".


Don't know what kind of airflow you have in your case but if you can make your wires neat and get some good flow that might help as well. I've seen cpu temps drop by 5-10 after power airflow was corrected.
 
E4300s also run hotter than their higher up bretheren... Might be because the IHS isn't soldered on.
