Hello,
The other day I figured out how to properly use Prime95 to stress all 4 cores, (My original thread had false temps) here are my results using torture test on all 4 cores using small fft's for 10min on my Q9450 (stock speed 333 x 8 = 2.6Ghz) all my specs are in my sig.
Ambient = 22c
SpeedFan v4.34
Idle
CPU = 18c
Core 0 = 32c
Core 1 = 31c
Core 2 = 44c
Core 3 = 43c
CPU-Z = 1.232V
CPU-Z Vcore (Idle) = 1.232V
Load
CPU = 33
Core 0 = 47c
Core 1 = 46c
Core 2 = 57c
Core 3 = 55c
CPU-Z Vcore (Load) = 1.200V
I have an “Ultima 90†as my heatsink with 92mm Noctua fan inside a Cosmos S case with 6 120mm fans. Heatsink is lapped as well as IHS of Q9450. Looking at the temps you can see that there is about 12c difference between cores 0,1 & 2,3. I tried reseating the heatsink & I tried using stock Intel cooler, but the difference in temps stayed the same. (RealTemp gives the same 12c difference)
What cores do u think are giving proper temperature? Let's assume its cores 0,1 is 47c on full load at stock is high? How far do u think I will be able to OC this processor? I am very upset about all this, obviously I can't return the CPU now that I lapped it, and spending $360 on a new one doesn't sound 2 appealing. What are your general thoughts and suggestions?
Thanks.
