i just like my temp
33 for system, and
60 for CoreTemp (dual folding)

Evogenix

is ET5 reading correct?. or core temp beta reading is correct..

which one??

I trust more on Intel's TAT

same here.. hehe

CoreTemp reading kinda extremely hot while ET5 way too low & TAT is between both of em'

yea.. me too.. but for my case, core temp and TAT shows almost the same temp reading which is +10 from ET5

mine TAT and CoreTemp are the same ~_~|| i mean they always show same temp...

well thats normal if u have good airflow inside ur case. when u close ur side panel, the air flow is perfect, or better than when u open ur side panel.. bcoz with side panel off, u'll mess with the airflow coming in and out to ur hardware.

Guys, check this out...



Which to believe??? confused

I assume you are in an air-con room, Intel TAT read the temp from the processor's core while I guess the mobo reads from its sensor near the processor which is outside of the IHS, this account for the temp difference.

Another possibility is that something's wrong with ET5 reading.

Well for non watercooler and w/o 3rd party cooler user like me i will try to adjust the vCore to lowest as possible.. for 2.8Ghz 24/7 my vCore is running 1.275v. Tried 1.25v and 1.20v b4 but double prime failed. I found tht with every 0.025v lower, the temp will decrease 1-2C at idle, and 3-4C lower at load (monitor with TAT).

Even with LN2, giving vCore >1.6V will kill your processor sooner or later, or maybe instantly.

Wht u mean??

In other words, even with the best cooling solution in the world, giving too much vcore will shorten your processor's lifespan or even killing it instantly.

But wit i do is decreasing vCore to get lower temp here...

2.8Ghz only? izzit enuff ka fRend?

Can go 3.01GHz so far.. but for 24/7 i running 2.8GHz and vCore 1.275 for low temp.. coz not using 3rd pt. cooling. Only running single HSF for now.

How many HSF you gonna put?

Well i tried 420x7 earlier this morning, after a while system won't boot . When i set the vdimm to +0.3v, it won't boot at all. The 420x7 was done everything at stock, with only vdimm +0.2v. Lazy to try higher again lar, satisfied with 2.8ghz . Anyway my system temperature is damn high, always around 45c, took out that thing applied AS5 already + put a small fan on top, still high temperature .

u wont satisfy one.. bet u will try higher soon
invested good cooling u should go higher ler..

Wanted to try higher but my ram won't take +0.3vdimm, everytime i apply +0.3vdimm sure won't boot . Currently @ F6 bios, see when i feel like OCing higher i will update to F7 bios. My cpu temperature @ET5 always lower than my system temperature lol, kinda pathetic i would say
