E4300 temp at 10-13C .. normal?

Just installed E4300 on a Gigabyte DS3 board with Thermaltake SI-120 HSF (120mm fan). Everything seems to be booting up fine and I checked the temps in BIOS, speedfan, and coretemp and it all shows my CPU being @ around 10-13C. While my system board is around (34C, which seems normal)

Do the 4300 run that cool or something is wrong? Kinda worried! lol
 
There's no way without being on phase change or something similar. 40-43 sounds more likely. You said CoreTemp shows 10-13 right, not just Speed Fan or the mobo utility?
 
yea .. all 3 shows similiar temps :confused:

Edit: Running Prime right now to stress it, its up to about 23-27C right now .. which stil seems low for what its doing lol
 
LOL .. quite the opposite actually. Florida :eek: .. but it is cold here tonite lol

maybe its a motherboard bug perhaps with temp sensor? Like if its 20C, take that times 2 = correct temp? which would be 40C? *wishful thinking* lol

Been running Prime for about an hour, passing all test and temps topping out at 28-30C
 
while your priming, does your hsf feel warm/hot?

i've been hearing temp readings are off with the new e4300s. should be fixed with a bios update.

i been letting it prime all night with no errors. the HSF doesnt feel warm/hot. is it suppose to? then again, nothing in my case is warm/hot. everything is nice and cool in there. alota cold air circuilating. loud ass fans!!! lol

mines still at stock speed. i bump it up to 2.4 really quick just to test and drop it back down to stock.
 
F10 Bios .. which I believe is the latest one, according to gigabyte website?
 
rats, was hoping it was older, without the E4300 support.

I am beginning to think you got a really good core.

lol possible i guess. i get really cool air blowing out of the case and cool air circulating inside. at work right now but still got prime running at home. called my sis to check on the computer and prime is still running and temp is around 28-30C

I emailed gigabyte about the temp readings. we'll see what they say if they reply ...
 
Unless the ambient temps are about 5-9 C, that is physically impossible.
Your diode/thermistor is bad, or your bios is busted.
 
never know, i would wait to hear back from them and see what they say,
Maybe you got a great core, or maybe the board has some temp reading problems... Who knows :p
 
As was said. It's physically impossible for you to be at those low temperatures with that HSF. No offence XD

But yeah, +1 for a broken thermistor here!
 
well you can't be colder than room temp... thats a fact.

so if its 20 oC in your room then your CPU must be at least 20 oC
 
i loaded Intel Thermal analysis Tool (TAT) and its showing my CPU as 42-43C .. with it running prime for the past 15+hrs .. that sounds more reasonable lol .. stop prime after 18hrs, and temp is showing 32C idle

how accurate is this program?
 
Use a little common sense here buddy. ;) You're in Florida, it's what, 20C out? And your CPU is REDUCING heat instead of PRODUCING it, operating normally at the same time? Not possible, even at 100% effeciency the coolest a CPU could run would be room temperature.

Typically, very and it should match well with coretemp readings.

Starting to sound more reasonable.

Thank god!! I was beginning to think the E4300's were somehow re-writing the laws of thermal dynamics and were gonna start to warp time and space next:p
 
lol .. now that i started to OC, im getting higher temp readings in the other programs though still lower than what TAT is showing me ..

tried the following OC ...
9x333 @ 3ghz .. boots up fine and windows run fine but Orthos reports an error after a few min ...

dropped to ...
9x267 @ 2.4ghz .. stable

back up to ..
8x333 @ 2.667 .. stable so far / TAT = 52-54C Load ... CoreTemp = 40C Load

whats weird though is Orthos is showing CPU Speed as 2997Hhz and Core Temp is showing my frequency as 2997Mhz (374 x 8) lol .. CPU-Z shows correct speed though
 
I just built an e4300, ds3 rev 2, 8800 gts for one of my friends. The initial temperatures are below room temperature, therefore unless the cooling device is below that, it's not possible (his was around 30 degrees).

Just got 375 X 9 @ 1.468 volts. Geil DDR800 doesn't seem to be a very good overclocking ram. Runs great at 800 MHz. Ram timings are crap, though.

The CPU test was around 8600 and the GFX was around 9900. Overall around 7900 I believe.

I submitted the results to futuremark and the website said there was only one similar result :D

Go for 375. I just built this for a buddy so I had him play quake 4 while prime 95 was running. Aside from the loading, it was actually buttery smooth. This chip is great for the $.
 
^^ very niceee .. im only using ddrII-667 ram so i doubt i can get it that high. ill be happy with 3ghz stable. 333x8 is stable @ 1.325v. I'll give 333x9 another try with higher voltage and see what happens. :)
 
I just installed the e4300, Tuniq, DS3 Rev 2 F10 combo last night.

The initial temp in bios for cpu was at 16-17C, but the kicker was that my cpu fan wasn't even on! (I didn't check the temp AFTER the cpu fan turned on <got it turned on by connecting it to the sys-fan connector> since I thought the thermostat was screwed) I guess I have to disable Speed Control in the BIOS to have the cpu fan on all of the time instead of enabling it, which makes it turn on only when you reach a certain temperature.

In Speedfan, the cpu temp reading was reversed with the mobo temp but it still read 17C.

I need to get fresh install my windows and will test it out with Coretemp and Intel TAT tonight, along with some OC marks!
 
I freaked on first bootup. The Arctic 7 fan wasn't spinning. It would turn a few times then stop. I wasn't sure why the fan was doing this - I thought it was defective. When I put the stock Intel HSU on, it did the same thing. Upon looking at bios settings, I guess the fan is set to be as quiet as possible.

I was always taught that if a heatsink fan isn't spinning, fix it immediately. So I went into the bios, I think it's under the "PC health management" in the DS3 bios.

I set the CPU fan management to disabled, so now it runs at full blast. It's not even that loud. Just a tid-bit for anyone who is going to do a build soon.
