Im running Vista64 and Everest Ultimate and its showing my CPU temp as 16 degrees C
q6600
ip35 pro
2x2gb Gskill
Tuniq Tower 120

Can anyone help me out please

 
Pretty sure that the CPU sensor isn't really reliable anymore. Just read your cores I think which seems reasonable and you are fine. What is the ambient temperature in the room your pc is stored in?

Why wouldnt it be reliable? its a brand new pc. Its an Antec900 case with all fans on medium. I couldnt tell you what the temp in the room is, but i would say its always on the chilly side. its never hot. I plan to overclock the cpu in the near future, but how can i do that when i dont even know what the temps look like now?

BTW.. this is a G0 Q6600 and im using Arctic Silver 5 with Tuniq Tower 120
What should my temps be with this setup?
 
I am using a G0 Q6600 (vid 3.125, lost the lottery on this one). Also using Tuniq Tower 120.

@ 3.42 (day to day), my idle temp is around 38C. Load temp is 62C.

@ 2.4 (stock), my idel temp is around 25C. Load temp is 33C.

I can hit 3.6, but my temps are higher than I want them.

Ok thanks, i still dont understand why its reporting my CPU temp as 16 while the cores are shown as 23,27,19,20? How does this make any sense? Shouldnt it be the median of the core temps? which is 22.:confused:

I've never figured out what that CPU value is. I only look to the cores and ensure that they are within the values that I am looking for.

Thank you very much.. just one more question for you. Do you also have that gap in temps among the cores as i do?

Thanks
 
Yeah, I posted my average. I normally have a 4 to 5 degree swing between high and low core.

It's pretty consistent. At least, I still have that 4 to 5 degree swing

Im guessing this can be caused by either
1) Not an even spread of arctic silver or
2) Not completely flat surfaces of CPU and/or Heatsink
 
my Tuniq is lapped and I'm pretty sure about the spread of AS5.

My temp spread is consistent with others. Almost all (can't say for certain all) have a spread of temps of between 4 and 7 degrees. 8 degrees is usually indicative of a bad HSF placement.

Im going to let this thing sit for a lil while, i just finished building recently and i really dont want to take it all apart again. I shouldnt cause any harm to the cpu with those temps.. even with the 8 degree spread right?
 
yeah, if you just finished building then let the AS5 settle in. 8 degree spreadsheet should be ok.
