i use Everest ultimate. does that miss read temps as well?

 

[Nagasama]

i have the everest ultimate trial version and yes it reads 10* too high.

 

[philbar71]

that's good cause it reads for me about 40c on all cores at idle. i'll try real temp.

 

[Nagasama]

yeah the trial version may be wrong. if you have a retail version it may have been updated to read correctly.

 

[Viscin]

well i use realtemp and compared it with coretemp they were all the same im pretty sure the tj max is 100

tj max of wolfdale/yorkie is 95* i believe.

 

[Viscin]

Nope I just found out its TJ Max 100, im gonna try 1.33 vcore and gonna add AS5.

 

[Nagasama]

used to be 95* but i see that intel has released this info:

Intel®Core™2 Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series: 100°C
Intel®Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 and Q8000 series: 100°C
Intel®Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650: 95°C
Intel®Core™2 Extreme processor QX9770: 85°C

OK I added thermal paste for my first time ever. Here are the pics tell me if I should put less or more or w/e.


I remounted the heatsink really good. But still 48C idle 75C on OCCT full load. I dont get it, I really think that my sensors or messed up or the true TJ max is not 100C. Even with everything stock I idle 43C which is way too high for stock settings with aftermarket heatsink, the ACF7.
