Hey all, I'm eager to start testing my E8400 but I have a problem I need to resolve first.
Nothing I've ever used to check temperature works with this chip. TAT says invalid processor. Coretemp and Everest report 40/38 (no fluctuation) no matter what I do. Everest even has a "CPU Temp" (not core temp) option that started out around 32-35 and bounced around. I was going to use that, but after my first PCMark05 run the temp is at 82C and won't budge.
So, what are my options? Before you suggest anything know that I am using the most up to date drivers available for EVERYTHING in my system. I did a fresh install of XP last night and have been updating it ever since. I am also using the newest version of CoreTemp and Everest.
Thanks.
