Please don't triple post, just click on the edit button if your the last poster.

Anyways 33-37c with stock cooler is actually pretty damn good, I would say there is nothing wrong with your CPU. You MUST remember that bios temps are not very accurate and can change between BIOS updates, I have found 1704 to be close to what windows is reading. At the moment Im idling at 33/36 in windows and in the bios it is around 37/39c which is not far off considering that the CPU is not actually idling in the BIOS.

Your chip is fine, I would invest in a aftermarket cooler for that baby and start overclocking it. The Coolermaster 212+ is a very good budget cooler that can easyliy get you to around 4.5ghz depending on your abmient temps.

Here are some good guides that should help you out:

Good luck and hope that helps

Dont know if this will help any but here it goes.

I sat in bios for like 20 minutes and it again

went up to 80c with the asus optimal settings on so I just dont know what to do with all of this. Im probably going to be on the phone with asus all day tomorrow trying to get it ironed out as well as ordering the EVGA cpu cooler to see if it makes any difference.

Secondly I will be playing around with some drivers for my nic card but will probably end up gtting a new one of those to see if that will make any differece. If anyone has any good wireless pciex1 card that I can get thats a good price let me know. I will be looking as well to see. Thanks for all of the next again, this is really starting to make me feel aggervated as this whole ordeal.

Trying to call Asus all day today. I hope that ill get ahold of them and they will help me figure out whats going on. Same story going on today as yesterday. The cpu is refusing to overclock yet still telling em the same stuff in the Bios and windows. I am going to be switching the cards between the wife's computer and mine to see if that solves my nic card issues. Anyways everyone, thank you for the help. if you have any more information or help it would be greatly appriciated.

Besides the network card what seems to be the problem?

If you are getting good temp in windows, why do you care so much in BIOS CPU temp???
You do not do anything in BIOS other than changing settings.
Could be faulty sensor. Idle temp in windows looks good if its under 40c like you stated.
What's the max temp do you have under stress?
Like prime95, IBT, LinX test max temp. If it idles under 40c in windows with stock HS, it won't give you ridiculously high max temp especially with stock clock.

I've said it countless times but I think he choose's to ignore it.

ditto

The issue is that my CPU cant overclock if the BIOS is reading such high temps. My cpu is supposed to be OCed as its a 2600k version. If I cant overclock it and it wont start with it OCed then somthing is obviously wrong.

The tpu thing is is on as well as the turbo boost thing and that isnt working. Im not so much worried about the actual tempature as much as I am about my CPU not being able to overclock at all. Thats my main concern right now, is if one thing isnt working right it seems on my motherboard then the rest of it is not working properly.

 

[munaim1]

Okay, I will try and help you out from the beginning.

Firstly what mobo do you have? Asus P8P67 Deluxe
Secondly what bios are you running?
Exactly RAM do you have?

Please put as much info as possible when filling in your system spec. Take a look at mine.

 

[james73084]

I filled out the system specs again. As far as the small voltages are that you have munaim1 on each thing I really dont know what the they are. I do know that my ram is not running at what its supposed to as its set to I think 1333mhz or somthing like that as that is what the mobo set them at. I can go look into the bios and see if that will do anything to help you and list all of the voltages.

The graphics card however did show me some information on it when purchased and ill list it right now.

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1461-KR GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
GPU GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi)
Core Clock 850MHz
Shader Clock 1700MHz
Stream Processors 336 Processor Cores

Please understand guys that I am a noob kinda, I have built around 4 computers in my life, this being my fifth computer with no one here to help or make sure I dont screw up. I really dont trust my hands with electronic equipment but I thought I may as well give this a shot. It IS working but it isnt able to overclock that I can see, nor is it able to do anything net related that is probably a stupid driver issue that is unrelated. Anyways, thank you again and I am going to try again to get ahold of asus tomorrow as there phones were down ALL DAY today -_-

Thinking i should just rma the board, get a new one, and microsoft will give me another cd key for the oem version due to a mobo defect and not just an upgrade.

 

[james73084]

Ok so after getting off of the phone with asus here is what they told me

1. its a grounding issue. They want me to take out my mobo from my HAF X and see if the temp thing still contiues with it outside of the case.

2. Its a PSU issue and they wanted me to test my system with a different psu. I dont have a big enough psu to test with it so I dont really know where to go from here.

One part of me just wants to rma the mobo back, get a different brand and start all over. Another part of me jus wants to keep plugging away at this until it can OC so I really dont now how to go about trying to diagnose these issues.

This is your problem.

I used this bios on my p8p67 pro and it caused all kinds of problems with my VGA and my OC was no longer stable at 5 Ghz.

I regressed to the previous NON-BETA and all went back to normal.

Try it and see if it works for you.

Thank, I will be doing that today as well as swapping the nic cards and seeing if that does the trick. If not, after getting off of the phone with asus and coolermaster i will be rmaing the board back and see about getting a new one or getting a totally different brand all together, probably the evga ftw.

ok as far I know you can set the i7 2600k overclock but while it is idleing it will not show it is clocked, the overclock only shows up when the cpu is under load

for your nic card have you disabled the 2 onboard lans on the motherboard, I had an issue once b4 with having a seperate pci wireless and the onboard connection
