is e4300 at 67@ 2 hot?

[bugmage]

i just got the cpu and I have been overclocking
-right now im running at 3.33 at 1.4v with load of 53*

but it ran fine at

-3.6ghz at 1.5 with load of 67*

on water


do you think thats 2 hot? or do you think im fine running it like that

-im a amd guy i had a 3800x2 and ive had it at 1.55v at one time and it never got that hot


you can tell the waters working because in about 3 seconds after closing the 2 prime 95s, it goes back down to low 40s

67C is too hot for that chip. Try to keep it at 60C or below for benchmarking over long periods of time.

What are you using to read temps with?

[bugmage]

the OEM software, and bios match the software on idle temp at least

I read somewhere there was a bad temp monitor in the e4300s but I haven't seen anything official or any real testings

and another post here mentions the cpus die temps 84*

i wonder if maybe i need to reapply the arctic silver as some people say the idle temps at stock are 25* but its hard to tell because im sure they have the auto under clocking enabled

actually i just found a good link for it, but it looks like its normal?

they says under 70 is fine and good

Mine is on air at 1.35v. It runs up to 62 or so with dual Prime95 running in large mode. I did have it running up to 70 when I was first clocking the snot out of it at up to 1.5 volts. I just settled at 333x9 (3.0) because everything just seems to work perfectly. Mine also drops REAL fast on the core temps after closing prime. What mobo is it?

You're misinterpreting. Pay attention to this part of Intel's guide:

Thermal Specification:

* The thermal specification shown is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value for that processor. It is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader.

X6800 = 60.4c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 75w
E6700 = 60.1c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 65w
E6600 = 60.1c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 65w
E6400 = 61.4c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 65w
E6300 = 61.4c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 65w
E4300 = 61.4c, Vcore max = 1.3250, TDP = 65w

Thermal Case Temperatures of 60c is hot, 55c is warm, and 50c is safe. The single CPU Thermal Case sensor is how Tcase is measured, and is the CPU temp displayed in BIOS, Motherboard Utilities

So, 61.4C is your maximum safe temp on the E4300.

I keep mine under 56c on Orthos to play it on the safe side. There is certainly going to be some error either direction on the reading so I like to play it safe. Also, AC5 takes about a week to kick in and you must shut your computer off and allow it to completely cool several times initially for AC5 to settle and do its job But once it does... its amazing stuff

My E4300 runs at 30C idle and 57C underload and thats 3.4GHz @ 1.66v with air cooling i would look into reapplying the paste and check the contact. That is far too hot for water cooling.

[Xion X2]

Dazz, you have an insanely cool chip if you're pushing 1.66V and are only at 57C under load on nothing but air.

What are you considering load? Large FFTs in dual Prime or Orthos, I hope? That's cooler than even I can get on water, so it's definitely unheard of for air cooling.

[Dazz]

Orthos, i am using the Coolermaster Gemni 2 with 2x 2000rpm 120mm fans. While playing games it tends to be about 45C. Temps have not changed much from my Thermalright Ultra 120. Only got the coolermaster to help cool down my nForce 680i.

[Xion X2]

Orthos

Blend or FFTs? There can be as much as a 15 degree difference between the two.

[Dazz]

FFTs

[Tr1cK]

Dazz, what are you checking the temps with? I found speedfan was about 15c off on mine. It seems WAY low for 1.66v. I really don't think I have the balls to do 1.60 even. I do FFTs all day long @ around 62c.

I need to recheck my AS5 anyways. I don't think I got a good application cause normally it practically cements itself to the chip. Then again, the Tuniq is so massive, it would take a lot to hold it still.
