Well, if you're stressing once the temp rises up to x-amount, it's not going to fluctuate much. I'd trust core-temp, that's what I use.

Yes but I get the same Temp at idle in coretemp and reatemp.

The gigabyte software is the only one that drops down to 20 - 25C at idle.

Indeed...My face exactly

On my E8400 Coretemp and Realtemp never drop below 38 on the first core and 35 on the second core at idle. As soon as i start running orthos they will go up to whatever the temps are, and when i stop orthos they go down to 38/35. So you are not alone.

Adrev my E8500 is exactly the same the ET6 reads the temp off of the mobo where as the other programs read direct from the the chip sensors. My Chip Sits at 42c on the sensors and doesn't show a change till its heated up and then never drops below 42c its very common for my chip at least from what I have read. Its possible that if your temps go up your sensors will show the change and since they should be closer to accurate when working then your ET6 it may just need a little more of a raise than you have given it so far.


On a side note to my previous post on my OC. I ran OCCT again for 8 hours and had no errors. Seeing as no one responded to my thread. Should it have been posted under the Intel chip thread and not here? My apologies if it was posted improperly.

Quite often the 45nm chips have problems with their temp diodes and they won't actually start to read until the temp they are stuck at is reached, only then will they start to read correctly. Intel say this is not a problem with the chip sensors as they are not intended for the lower temp ranges anyway, they are actually more for dealing with the chips thermal cut off limits and only really start to become accurate at high temps. I would say if you prime test your chips and the temps start to rise properly (after the stuck settings) you should be fine.

EDIT :- Two of my Q9650 sensors are stuck at 37*C

Chees guys youve put me at ease.

Currently running Orthos at 3.9GHZ with 1.216vCore (cpuz).

Realtemp and Coretemp have suddenly burst into life but they have only gone up to 45C max ! It seems I have to running a stupidly high OC for them to wake up haha

Failing. I can't run orthos for more than 25mins before it locks up.

Currently trying 1.248vCore with 1.1NB @ 3.9ghz.

Fingers crossed.

Bump the NB, I run mine 1.3v+


Cooling is a factor as well (if we're talking NB stability) I've found out peeling the blue metal plate that covers the NB off drops temps a bit. The top plate is really restrictive of airflow, and it's only held on my tape.
