Vista - Intel E8400 Temp problem

**smarteyeball** · 04-11-2009

Fingers crossed it works for you. Because running at those temps long term is really bad for the CPU

Well it seems he Intel Speedstep is enabled, which would explain the CPU downclocking when it's idle.

As for the temps, he is using a stock cooler in a place that is generally hot. Having a warm room all the time won't help temps on the PC much. Better cooling will be needed in general.

Exactly. I read on Intel, they wrote 72.6c temperature. Mine is running at 69-70c. My mobo dosnt allow me to disable Speedstep

. Intel DG43NB SUCKS :@

But not that hot

Speedstep is not a bad thing. It only downclocks when when it's not under a heavy load.

See guys, i only applied thermal paste. Only one outlet fan and stock cooler. wow my processor is not faulted

**Everlong18** · 04-12-2009

Much better

Now all you need is a new CPU cooler, add a couple of more case fans (one for input and another exhaust) and you'll be sorted

**smarteyeball** · 04-12-2009

It's still a little warm and I bet the temps rise to the 60-70 range under load, but that is a BIG improvement in comparison

Well done

Is it still lagging?

**saeen** · 04-13-2009

Not at all lagging any more. Under load it reaches 50-55. I added a fan in front of case. When I'll get a little money, I'll buy a cooler master.
