i shifted my cabinet now to a cooler place.now it is 40C at idle in realtemp.

nd around 58C at full load in Realtemp

when i asked my vendor that he hadn't applied any thermal paste he said it was already applied to the cooler.so is it no paste or local paste? should i get the artic paste mx2 coz i don't want full load temps to be that high.it sometimes even goes to 66C now

Well , today i am getting core temps at 36C and cpu temp at 31C.
I am monitoring core temps with Real Temp, i think its the most accurate utility at the moment. The Tjmax for E7200 is 95(most likely), and I read at anandtech that intel will disclose the Tjmax for 45nm this week. So it will be lot easier to get the accurate temps!

I am using stock cooler, ambient temp is 25C at night in Delhi, and I am in an ac room atm, So getting 36C-40C for cores, and 31C for cpu base is not bad, i just have a feeling that my cores are stuck, as they aren't going below 36C :(

Anyways i am waiting for Intel Developer Forum (IDF), San Francisco, US, Aug. 19-21, 2008. Where they are going to disclose tjmax for all 45nm's.

how did u get so low.coz abit eq can has a temp target of min 40C.boy u need to overclock more ur wasting it(unless u don't emulate games or encode vids)


btw guyz sometimes on full load my core 1 temp is about 5deg higher than core0 and viceversa.is this normal?

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 :D
Whereas my E8400 does 24C under TRUE +NMB 120mm at 4GHz and full load temp goes to 35C ;)

I guess that explains it.

Well 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..

^^^ getting a better 3rd party cooler wont fully solve the prob of a faulty ihs but it wud surely bring down the temps that u hav with a stock hsf.so its better to get 3rd party cooling sol if u plan to oc and run it oc'd 24x7.

Lapping = Warranty void :D
Lapping does help though, i experienced that with my E4300.It had a saucer of an IHS :p

No i havent lapped my E8400.The reason it runs so cool is that it has a very low VID of about 1.1V or so and luckily the IHS is flat. so no need for lapping.

@ Sidewinder, Everest is reading the wrong values.No worries ;)

anyone can help me get my full load temps down from 70C to 60C?

would artic silver paste do it or do i have to change the stock cooler as well.

also should i keep in mind core temp or individual core's temps.
