Here's come my not-so-cold e64+ultra120

A screenshot should be more better

@vassalle

better to include what kind of fan using on the hsf if it is not come with a stock fan coz the results may vary from a low speed to high speed fan

@frank_fusion

ur idle and load temp is freaking high.. check whether u apply thermal paste and the heatsink probably not.

maybe this 2 links can help ya abit:

Measuring CPU Dual Core Temps
http://www.overclockers.com/articles1378/index02.asp

THE HEATSINK GUIDE: Maximum CPU temperature and maximum CPU power usage
http://www.heatsink-guide.com/content.php?...t=maxtemp.shtml

Try to use Everest, Speedfan. buthen u can just specify ur vcore according to ur bios vcore setting.

if just really test the proc ONLY, TAT is ok. buthen daily usage won't be able to reach the temp by TAT test. so TAT just can see how high ur temp can go till.

bios/cpu temp is measured by the mobo's sensor and this sensor measures the temp on the cover of the CPU. means the IHS of the cpu (61.4c).

core temp is the temp measured by the cpu's diode which inside the chip itself. so there won't be any difference if u are changing different mobo. the core temp still gives u the same reading with different mobos. BUT the bios/cpu temp is vary among different mobos. why? i already explained that the bios/cpu temp is measured by the mobo's sensor and becoz of that it is ok when u seeing ur CORE temp is higher than 61.4c this value. as this value is used for the max case temp (cover/IHS).

Just some of my understandings. correct me if i was wrong

the default vcore is 1.325
