Can AnyOne Tell Me How To OverClock C2D - 4500
I have removed the side cover of cabinet, and low temps are in night, during day my temps are ~5C+
at 316*9.5 =3 ghz
idleing in day at 43-44C cores,
on load by prime, temps are 62C
these are on stock cooling and 100% fan usage.
I am sure i am gonna see considerable amount of change after i put in an aftermarket cooler. But since the ambient in my room is at about ~30C, it wont be lower than that..
Is OCz vendetta 2 good enough? or will ultima 90 do the job?
@ratedsuperstar,
my cores temp differ by 3-4 degrees too.
But there is temp issue in 45nm's, at low temperature, either one or both the cores will stuck at a constant value, even if you are on north pole. Like in my case, cores wont show value lower than 36C, but the IHS value shows 30C. So this means core sensor is stuck at 36C.
Well if your chip has a bad IHS (Read: not completely flat) then whatever cooler you use, it doesnt help.
Take my case for instance,
I have 2 chips, E8400 ( Golden) and E8500
E8500 suffers from this problem, with TRUE and NMB 120mm fan on my bench pad(Outside Cabinet) idle temps are 40-42C and under load goes to 52C (stock speed)
Right now i am using the E8500 in my home PC with stock Intel cooler and at stock it idles at around 50C
Whereas my E8400 does 24C under TRUE +NMB 120mm at 4GHz and full load temp goes to 35C
Lapping = Warranty voidWell if its a problem with the IHS a new cooler wont help much but there is always the sollution of lapping it [lapping=sanding the IHS right off the procy]...but this will void ur warranty and its quite risky..And Darky those are very good temps for the E8400 and TRUE...did u lap? What are ur ambients?
My Q66003.0Ghz+TRUE+120mm fan does 36C at idle and 52~55 at full load with ambient of 30C which is on the high side..
