    Stopped that when fuel prices went up. Ever see a $541 power bill for air conditioning and a pool pump? I've been trying to keep it around 78F but it fluctuates a bit. It will rise to a slightly higher temp before turning on but will cool to 78. But in the cooler months I do keep it to around 72.

    if aux was nb mines is being reported by speed temp as 127C :O LOL

    so i doubt it haha.

    i wish the P5K-E had a NV voltage and temprature sensor, OR if it does, what proggy should i use to see?

    and why does my realtemp and coretemp differentiate by 10C?

    I doubt that it is a NB temp either but it was a guess.

    It might be a bogus temp because if it is not then your system is in trouble. HAHA

    we were kinda talking about that a few pages back on the old thread.
    it depends on which one is correct in useing the T-Junction temps.

    coretemp says my T-Junction is 105c
    realtemp says its 95c
    this is for the E8400
    and from what ive been reading real temp only gives correct readings when under load. the temps you see at idle may be distorted a bit...

    so hows to say what the true T-junction temp is?

    is that about right Soph?????

    because they each use a different TJ-max.

    it really doesn't matter because the distance to TJ-max is the same either way.

    so if your like 52 away from the TJ-max you have nothing to worry about huh?
    lol

    sammorris,
    Look to the left on your Everest screen, Click on Motherboard, Chipset and the NB voltage is displayed there!

    Unless it looks like below. LOL


    Everest doesn't have support for the P45 chipset yet.

    Sophocles,
    Your version of Everest is older. Mine is v4.50.1330. The v4.20.1255 Beta (which I also have) didn't show the P35 chipset either.

    I've already checked, they still don't have support for it.

    cincyrob,
    No! That just means that the chipset supports it as in the GA-P35C-DS3R. It has 4 DDR2 and 2 DDR3 slots!

    Hi Lp,

    that is great news. I kinda miss my little buddy but I'm sure it is in good hands. I might have a go at a mediocre OC on my Q9450 tomorrow.

    I was reading the posts you guys wrote a few pages back....Sophocles: PLEASE tell me how you keep your CPU temps that cool!!

    Can someone help or explain this to me?...abuzar was puzzled as well: My q9450 core temperatures are just stupid:

    [​IMG]

    One core is almost 10C hotter than the other...I even brought the speed back down to stock, and still the same, except everything is 2C cooler.

    I swear that's one of the weirded things I have seen.

    Did you try installing the stock cooler? Your temps would generally go up, but then you can see if you still get the core temp differences. Then you know whether or not it's due to contact issues.

    I see a 21C difference.. That is a bit disturbing.... The only things that I can think of are your coverage of TP and the possibility of an improperly installed cpu heatsink... ;)

    So did you get a nice thin application of TP?

    Also make very POSITIVE you have the cooler installed correctly and and the fan is turning at the proper rpm.;)
