Q8300 Temps

[dC0m]

Hi all,

I'm running a Q8300 at stock speeds and I recently upgraded to a Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 rev. 2. I checked SpeedFan and Temp1 shows 84C. I'm not sure what are normal temps but to me, that's a bit high?

Could it be that I need to remount my cooler? I used Arctic Cooling MX-2 on it. I have no idea what where the temps before I swapped coolers. The old cooler was some shitty one Dell supplied.

84C?
That ain't good at all lol.
Remount, and reapply thermal paste.

Hello, just for your information.

I have Q8400 running stock on OEM machine. Currently idle at around 2GHz
The reading is between 39C to 41C using CoreTemp.

Cheers

Update:

This is what I found after clicking around a bit:

Temp1 is actually IT8718F which by my guess is not the Q8300.. but rather another chipset? I'm guessing it's the motherboard's Intel Chipset but isn't that still dangerously high for any chip?

Yeah, whatever that is, it sounds really hot to me. My overclocked 460 doesn't even get that hot in furmark.

I wonder if it's a calibration/sensor issue?

Its more likely that the temperature is not being read correctly. Motherboards may have the exact same thermal sensor but the sensor may require a different multiplier on rev 1 motherboard versus rev2 or a different companies board using the same chip.

Your CPU temperatures are the ones labeled Core 0 through 3. Everything else can basically be ignored, since chances are Speedfan just isn't reading it properly. Your core temperatures are perfectly fine, so I don't see any real problem here unless something actually goes up in flames .
