Re: Core i7 Temperatures said by beerbum:I wouldn't worry too much about those "low" temps. Heat kills, not cold. I know but looking at the temps most are showing here when idle, mine looked abnormally low.
said by beerbum:FWIW my i7-860 when idle the temps hover around 19°C - 22°C, and there has been no ill effects. Good to know. Because I'm running with Intel stock HSF.
I guess the good thing is that the box is as noisy as a digital Casio watch  |

said by Martinus:said by koitsu:Your BIOS shouldn't have anything to do with this; the data comes directly from the CPU, assuming PECI (not a typo) isn't used in this case. I don't think Real Temp uses PECI. Can you run Real Temp 3.40 and CoreTemp 0.99.5, at the same time and provide a screenshot of the two side by side? Thanks OS is W7 64 bit. In BIOS, SpeedStep and C-State are enabled. CPU cooling is Intel stock cooling. What CoreTemp is showing you is correct, what RealTemp is showing you is incorrect.

Stock Temperatures | |
It was just a minor overclock that made my temps go through the roof. I dropped it down to stock temps and they don't go over 70 under load.
my vcore is @ 1.27v on "auto". It was running at 1.30v overclocked. i dont understand why +.03v will make such a big difference. i must be doing something wrong.
i noticed someone was running the i920 with a 1.14v vcore @ 3.5 ghz.. is that just a good cpu or is it the motherboard? |

| I locked the voltage to it's default 1.2v, it's showing 1.14v because of vDroop. With a bClk of 166 and turboboost, the CPU happily goes to 3.48Ghz on my setup. If you're going to overclock, you need to control voltages yourself. 1.3v is too high for 3.5Ghz. |

i'll try locking it to 1.2v.. i think my default is 1.27v for some reason. |

It goes up to 1.3 when the CPU hits turbo boost (1.27 with droop). It's designed to be that way and It's perfectly safe when your CPU is at stock. However, when you overclock you're going past the CPU's TDP, therefore controlling voltages yourself is a must. |

If your chip has the DO stepping it will take higher OCs with lower voltage which means less heat.
