CPU temps and vcore limits

[Greg]

For an Intel processor on a Northwood core keep your CPU temps below 55C and the vcore should not go higher than about 1.7

For an Intel processor on a Prescott core keep your CPU temps below 65C and the vcore should not go higher than 1.575

i dont give a fuc* about that temperatures im killing my cpu to the edge, so if he will work he will, if he die wtf new one go inside @ the moment cpu is 39 and v core is 1.34

Yeah, they're made to be thrashed interesting advice though, all the same.

i'm having problems with my rig at the moment.

Ever since i installed my new mobo, i've been getting idle temps of 55oc under water cooling!!!!

I reseated the water block and re-applied as5, but its not helped

I'm gonna try changing the mixture of water/zerex to see if that helps, if not i might try lapping my waterblock again.

Wonder if lfluctuating 12v rail would affect it at all.....

Or just a dodgy reading

Have you measured with a probe or just the mobo sensor readings?

That definentally sounds like the temp reading is off. In fact it IS, unless you didnt mount the waterblock right but you reseated it. Try a BIOS update, man.

I've got my Prescott 3.4 oc'd to 3.75 and my idle temps at 31 C. When I first put this computer together I was idleing in the low 70's. So I got a Tower 112 and two tornados. Now I'm good to go.

ya thats way high for water i dont hit 55c on my air cooling with cpu overclocked 600mhz. Try to update bios for sure
