I wonder if the cooling of the processors in my new pc is sufficient. At the moment that temperature varies between 50 and 54 degrees C. The room temperature has not been above 25 degr. C. yet.
Hot summer days of 30 degr. C and higher seem to be far away in Holland at the moment. Nevertheless I wonder what will happen to the temparature of the processors if it gets hotter.

Would someone share his experience and kwow how on this matter? What temperatures do you have on Intel duo core\'s?

Thx!

I\'m running an E6700 with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro on it. The cores are running 45 and 42C with an ambient air temperature in the room about 24C. With the stock heatsink/fan, the cores ran about 50-55C with about the same room temperature. This is on a Gigabyte P965 motherboard (if that matters). I didn\'t have any stability problems at 50-55C.

Hi Leendert

Do you ever air clean your heat exchange? If you do all well and good, I tend to clean my older model duo with only two cores , every month. I only run at 42, 44C. I would only worry if it crept up to 60, 65C. But it has never exceeded 65C. Use air duster or a product like it to keep the dust buildup down, clean all fans, and if your cpu exceeds thermal tolerance, the throttle on cpu temp should close it down. That is normally above 70C on a Intel.

Just clean regularly all fans, PU, case, and cpu. Hope that helps. If your box is off the self, and a good make then you should have a multi speed fan, or fans as standard.

Leave a planet to those following!

My machines run above 65C, room temp 32C outside temp ranges between 35C to 50C. Sorry i am in the Arid Zone. Blow clean them every month or so. One of my computers trips about five times a day but what the heck ;-)

i have an E4300 cpu oc\'d to 2.4, on G965 DS3, so it\'s basically an E6600 with half of cache, and at room temperature 30C, core temp shows 70-72 with stock cooler and i know that it can\'t get any hotter than this.

Are you having any stability problems? I haven\'t dared go over 2.2, with a 1.8 Core Duo. Everything else is the same but the temp, it\'s at 45C.

You should check your CPU voltage or modify your case cooling.

Quad core Q6600, with Scythe Infinity cooler running 4 models at room temp of about 26C gives me a cpu temp of 48-50. Which seems generally OK to me.

i had only 2 errors (i think) in over 4 months running boinc 16-24/24h at full load....vmods&cpu cooler default....cheap case&ddr2

I have an E6600@ 3100Mhz and i do not have any stability problems with 50 degr. c. at 100% usage of both cores !

My new Q6600is running 24/7 at 65 C. Is this too warm?
My MB is steady at 46 C. What about this?
Should I do something or is it acceptable?

It\'s a little high. Adding a couple of extra case fans should help, and is very cheap.
