@VT-Ten
it could also have been because u recently updated ur BIOS?

Apparently, when a TIM has already sunk in, the temperature reduction is only about 1-2'c..... unconfirmed reports but has been observed by many forumers....

Anybody has any news on the inaccurate temperature readings of the E6x50 series?

So far, I've read newer reviews that state that the more accurate app to use is core temp 0.95 which as a "Delta to Tjunction" feature. This feature is good as it shows how many degrees (celcius) to go before the temperature reaches Tjunction.

As the Tjunction is unknown, this is supposedly the most accurate estimation.

From what I can see, the Tjunction for the E6x50 series is still probably 85'c. For example:
Core 0/1 temperature : 40/40'c
Delta to Tjunction : 45'c

Tjunction = 45 + 40 = 85'c......

If that is the case, then the E6x50 series are really really cool processors

dont think so...
a couple of days ago, it went down to 36C cpu, 20C core0, 22C core1 when idle. tot it settled down, but today it shows 41C cpu, 27C core1 & 29C core2 idle. .

Note: the temps were monitored between 11pm - 2am. room temp shd be ard 27C maybe. no AC installed in this room.


@kmarc,
english pls....
do you mean there's nothing wrong with the temp?

i tested my shop customer's E6550 & E6750... i gotta say... they are fast... but not cool... i did touch the heatsink and the E6550 is not as cool as my E6300... i also tried to undervolt it and it seems not stable after doing so... needs , more voltage to stabilize which is quite bad...

Errr..... can you give a more "concrete" proof rather than the heatsink is "not cool"? Rather subjective, don't you think? Maybe an Intel's TAT reading or "Delta to Tjunction" on Core temp 0.95?

Remember that every CPU batches are different in terms of overclockability, although I haven't seen anybody keeping track on which are the good E6x50 batches for overclocking.....

Added on August 19, 2007, 3:16 pmWhat I mean is that it is possible that the load temperature is correct. Some sources indicated that the idle temperature is incorrect as the temperature sensor are inaccurate at idle temperature.

All these are unconfirmed reports so I guess we still have to wait and see...

Anyway, it has been about 2-3 weeks since I emailed Gigabyte and there is still no reply!!!

err... 33 on core temp... concrete enough...?

where can i get a thermometer which is good for measuring the heatsink temp....?

No no. What I mean is objective proof when you say the E6300 is cooler in temperature as compared to the E6550 or E6750 - both idle and load temperature...... Try to use core temp 0.95 "Delta to Tjunction" to compare them....

gosh..im planin to buy E6x50 proc...now dunno still wan to buy after reading dis thread..

hehe...........just get my 1 e6750 Go STepping.current at 8x500Mhz 4Ghz.blend test 2 hours pass.still abit unstable.cool by noctua heatsink.will post up y screen shoot...

current at 1.57Vcore.full load under 70c every time

Not like that la..... it's just that current temperature reading programs does not support the new CPUs yet. I think everything will be sorted out once newer updates come out.

So, while awaiting for that, it is best not to OC these new CPUs too much as we don't really know the actual temp!!!

Wow! What's your vcore and core temperature?

current at 1.575.everest read 1.6.hehehe.....check my sceenshoot...

Wah! So high! And I mean everything!!! High OC, high vcore and high temperature!!!

What is the vcore and speed you're planning to run 24/7?

And I thought the general recommendation is not to allow the core temperature to exceed 60'c....

hmm...u guys use wad temp monitor software to check the E6x50's temp?

plan to get it 4.1ghz...and wan to try 1.575v.it is best try.intel recomend under 75c still save for this core.

You can use a lot of programs. Remember that the temperature problem is still not corrected until newer updates/version comes out:
Core temp 0.95
Intel TAT (thermal analysis tool)
Speedfan
Your own mobo's software

OIC. So, what vcore are you planning to run 24/7? I'm interested to know this as I'm running my E6750 at 1.425v at 24/7.....

so has it been fixed? hands feeling itchy liao.. but takut.. motherboard monitoring software reposrts that my E6750 is roughly around 32C.. is this possible?

What's your rig's spec? 32'c at idle or load?

So far, no new updated software. I guess nobody knows what is the Tjunction for the E6x50 series yet. Seems like everybody is assuming that the Tjunction is 100'c which I don't think it is.....

umm..

C2D E6750 G0 Stepping @ 2.66ghz
P35C-DS3R

32C idle..

Just found out that a new beta for core temp has been release. It's core temp 0.95.4 (beta). Apparently, the Tjunction has been adjusted to 100'c for the E6x50 series instead of 85'c.

I'm thinking of emailing the author to find out whether it is confirmed that the Tjunction for the E6x50 series is truly 100'c or just a guess. Even Intel is not telling!!!

ZOMG Rei and i wish to OC my E6750 before my hollidays end!
