Conroe temps, are these OK?

Hey guys, I just finished putting together my Conroe system. It's the first system I've ever built.

Asus P5B Deluxe
E6600 Retail
Ultra-120 HS w/ Low-output Panaflo 120
2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 4-4-4
MSI X1900XT
OCZ 600W GameXStream PS
Antec Solo case

It's currently idling at 33C and with two instances of Prime95 it never goes above 44C. Are these temps OK for a Conroe system? I just want to make sure everything is working as it should be.

Haha no, I'm not joking. I just upgraded to this system from an old Dell P3 600 MHz (again, I'm not joking). So I have no idea what "good" temps are.
 
before someone tells you to get core temp since that's most accurate blah blah, the only difference between core temp and asus probe II is 1C on 1 core...the nice thing about core temp is that it will show you the temp of the other core, which interestingly enough is about 3C higher usually, they are never the same.

Anyway, for what it's worth, don't bother with core temp the diff. will be minimal but core temp will be slightly higher.

PC Probe II doesn't measure core temps at all... it meaures the external CPU temp.

There's a ~15C difference for me, which is perfectly normal. My external temp idle (PC Probe) is ~26C while the cores are 42C.

Dear god, that's like going from a BigWheels to a BMW.
 
Interesting. If that's the case it looks like the sensor on the P5B and the P5W are in different places.

On the P5W, PC Probe measures external CPU temperature.
 
Mine E6400@3.2ghz is like 38c idle and 46-47c load on motherboard sensor and lik 48c idle and 60c-ish load measuring with coretemp.
 
I get around 60C load with core temp, and around 50C load with easy tune. I'm just using the stock stuff that came with the retail hsf. I didn't put AS5 on, but I might still do it.

My temps are very close to yours. I now wish I would've bought a 6400 instead of a 6300. I want more GHz!!!!! I may buy one and then sell my e6300.

15C? WTF.

Check my screenie...

That's kindof weird I thought, anyway, difference in mb's must be it. :D

yeah, I figured out afterwards that Asus Probe for a P5W (the board I have) measures the external CPU temperature. Asus Probe for the P5B appears to measure the core temperature, however.

So 15C, sure.

what speed did you overclocked to? I got my E6300 to 3.3Ghz at default voltage, only increate MEM volt to 0.1. I am happy with my E6300 since it exceed my expectation.

I think I can overlock more but I don't want to stress my system too much for long-term usage.
