Sorry, this is idle temps.
I just read from another user forum that many monitoring applications have the wrong TJmax so it shows about 10C higher. Maybe Core Temp is one of these programs.
Uhhh, well, under 50 degrees doesn't seem particularly high to me. Well within the chip's operational range.
It also could very well be where the motherboard wants it. I don't have that particular board, but on my board, 50 degrees is the magic temperature. Basically the fan control is such that if the chip is under 50 degrees, it figures the fan is working too hard and slows it down. If it is over 50 degrees it figures more cooling is needed and speeds it up. So the CPU always stays right around that temperature, the fan speed just varies with load.
while 50 is within the operational range, it is much higher than it should be. my q6600 idles at around 38-40, and a wolfdale should idle lower than that.
to the OP, you might want to reseat your HSF and reapply thermal paste. use AS5. are you using stock HSF or aftermarket? are you OC'ed?
just got got my 8400 monday ,oem from new egg on a Gigbye ds3l right now its runnin at 39 and 38 same HSF @38.0 @1.31 not one crash .gonna try 4.0 soon.what fun.
According the CoreTemp, my idle temps are 49,45C . I have been doing some readings from the forums, CoreTemp does not report the proper temps because of the wrong TjMax value.
Based on PC Probe reported temps and my other PC (Q6600), my new PC with the E8400 is probably OK.
Which program would give me accurate temp readings for my E8400?
CoreTemp works perfect for my Q6600. The temp reading in the system tray is great so I can look at it from time-to-time.
Speedfan reports the same CPU temp as PC Probe 2, although this is only the surface temp.
