temp problem solved,i exchanged a brand new cpu with diff batch#,now my cpu temp is 29-33C core0 temp is 27-32c core1 temp stays 42c unchanged,when i stress test cpu temp max at 57c core0 at 57c core1 at 56c,much better than 6xC before.runing at 4.05ghz with 1.30v,i am happy cause i can match other people's cool temp now,but there still some people can get their coretemp at 40ish C under load.
my chilltec cooler reader reads idle is 24-25c,load at 27c.seems too low to be true.
i also had a voltage jumping up and down problem with my zalman zm600,replace with a corsair tx750,voltage much stable now,and i also get a much more accurate +12v and +5v. output.
the only problem left now is my chilltec cooler fan still speed up for a sec then slow down for another sec,doing this loop most of the time.
Hmm, anna99 did you get your CPU at a store? I got mine from microcenter and have since destroyed the plastic box and such but have retained the cardboard box itself. Maybe I should see if they will do an exchange as my temps reported by coretemp are about Core 1:68c Core 2:64c max. That seems a little warm to me and I would guess they're probably closer to 60c or so max, but that seems to be a large margin of error.
Hmmm, I got the E8400 the other day for my ASUS P5N32-E SLI mobo, after having the E6750 chip already, installed it, updated the BIOS and found that it isn't compatible with my mobo! How disappointing for sure. I had called ASUS before I ordered the CPU and they said it was compatible. Go figure! I called them again yesterday, got a different tech person, and was told this CPU is NOT compatible...even if it is a socket 775. The tech person said that even though it's a socket 775, it is not compatible across the board with all 775s mobos. So, the new CPU was boxed up and sent back to MWave.com for a refund. Again, how disappointing.
your board has to say support 45nm cpu
While it sucks that people are having temp reading issues with the 8400, they overclock like a beast, I finally hit 4.0+ with very low voltage. To RMA this chip because of temp reading issues to me would be stupid. I am hitting [email protected] 19 hrs orthos stable, [email protected] 8 hrs orthos stable, [email protected] and [email protected] orthos stable for 8 hrs. With my luck Id get a chip with good temp readings that oc'd like poop.
I say burn em up boys. Im going to enjoy it as long as it lasts and not worry about it. No offense to anyone but never heard so many people complain about a chip hitting 4.0 on low voltages before.
Well i need 1.4375v to hit 4ghz and i cant get temps to read properly so i think i have cause to complain
at stock speed my E8400 reads 59/53 idle
That doesn't sound right...Are you using the latest version of coretemp? Make the heatsink is seated correctly. Sounds like it might not be making good contact.
