Hello everyone,
I'm a new member to the forum and a relatively new person to overclocking. I recently built a new rig with a q8200 ( I know bad choice but I am new to this). I've been working on OCing this chip but the only thing that is holding me back is my cores temps.
Right now I am at 400MHz FSB (2.8GHz) and the hottest core it at 70C after 24 hours of Prime95 even after I minimized voltages. The odd thing though is that my cores temps vary by 15C or so core to core.
Idle Temps:
C0 - 51
C1 - 29
C2 - 50
C3 - 43
Load Temps:
C0 - 70
C1 - 53
C2 - 66
C3 - 60
My case is a COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 with two more 120mm fans in it for a total of 3. I also just installed a Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Big Typhoon CPU Cooler which did significantly lower my temps as opposed to the stock HSF but they are still very uneven as shown above.
Has anyone run into this situation before, do I just have a bad chip?
Thanks in advance!
