Core 2 Duo temperature
-
Hi all, I've just buyed a Core 2 Duo at 2.4 Ghz - E6600. It's installed on an asus P5B motherboard. All seems to work fine excepts for the temperature. The Bios reading and the Probe II is around 60º C in idle mode and the fan is all time running. If I used the Everest software that discriminates the temperature between the 2 cores they mark 43 and 47º C. when I test with Sandra benchmarks and when doing the Multimedia test the temperatue raise until 68º (52 a 54º C with Everest). If I touch the CPU it's hot but not in an extrem point. Are this values correct for a Conroe CPU or are them dangerous? Thanks in advance, Marc Soleda

I believe the maximum recommended temperature for the Core 2 duo is 60º (Have a look at the intel website). I have a E6600 as well as I can tell you that my Gigabyte motherboard reads the cpu temp as 19º on startup and the cpu fan won't even start to kick in until the temperature rises a bit. If you think you might need a new CPU heatsink and thermal grease I'd recommend the Zalman 9500 CPU fan, and the Zalman ZM-STG1 thermal grease.

Hi Matt, thanks for your comments. Have you installed the stadandard Intel's heatsink or the Zalman's one? Thanks in advance, Marc Soleda

I initially had the standard Intel heatsink installed and it worked without any issues. But because I plan to overclock the E6600 I figured I might as well get some better cooling. So I now have the Zalman 9500 installed. Works great. It is rather large so if you'd probably want to check you case for clearance etc. Matt Woods

I installed Conroe X6800 processor on asus P5WDG2-WS Pro Mobo and 'm running it at 15% overclock specs. The temperatures are still under 45 even under heavy processing loads with Intel stock cooling fan. I used OCZ silver thermal compound rather than the stock one. gud luck, -Pavan

After reinstalling the fan the temperature decreased near 10 degrees. Now, measuring with Core Temps it has a little bit more than 40 degrees that it's pretty fine. Enjoy your box !!

Thts correct, at idle you should have 40 and while running at full load you should not go beyond 45 with a perfectly installed cooling system. For me since I overclocked it from 2.94GHz to 3.33GHz.. my temperatures are acceptable. -Pavan
