I'm running my q9450 at 1.34v at 3.76Ghz, and I find that my full load temps with an Apogee GT, MCW30 on the NB, MCP655, and dual MCR220s(4 fans each) climb eventually to 60C. I posted regarding this on the XS forums, and am told that temps on the 45nm chips are higher than equivalent 65nm chips. What kind of temps are other 45nm powered quad-core rigs seeing?

The truth is, no one knows how to read the temps of our processors. It's all a big ballpark figure.

hows your temperatures?

@mkosem

use the latest coretemp...99.3 is adjust for the 45mm procs

Temps on 45 are higher than 65? That doesn't make any sense.
The 65 put out more electricity.

My temps, well, I can touch it under load so that's ok to me.

Motherboard tells me I'm at 26-30C idle so I'm guessing no more than 50C load. Using all of the other programs, coretemp, real temp, IDDC, I get different numbers from all three. I suppose I could just enter my TJmax of -1000000 and see some better temps. lol

As far as I'm told, the heat isn't transferred as efficiently from the CPU into the water on the 45s. I've been using RealTemp so far. Now Coretemp is the right one? Sheesh!

My QX9650 at 1.344 (in windows, 1.425 in Bios) @ 4.0 hits about 55 under full load.

Ill get in on this, as well on air my idle seems to be near the 40 on 1 core 2nd core 30 3 and 4th cores 35/36
i have reseated my h/s and rotated it and re applied paste no change tis weird .
forgot to mention hottest it has got with adjusted real temp is 60 - 62c on the hotest core. but i have no idea how accurate that is

You're not running water, this is better for the air cooling section.

55C at 4.0 on an MCR320 and Apogee GT with a video card in the loop too? Impressive. Any mods, or anything else in there? Mine sticks around 55 initially, but over the course of 8-12 hours it climbs up another few degrees. I take it you're not running very quiet fans?

I have all my fans on a fan controller. 3 fans on push on the rad, 3 fans in front of case, 1 on rear. All around 1500 rpm. Not loud at all. My stock Rocketfish is much louder. The video card stays at 35 - 45 degrees (idle-load). I was rather impressed with it. My ambients are around 68-70 degrees F (my pregnant wife keeps it chilly in the house). No mods what so ever, not lapped. I am still testing the WC loop right now, so it may very well climb a little bit.
