my cpu is E8400 and on core temp the temps are

Core#0-40C
Core#1-42C

and when its on prime load the temps are
Core#0-67C 40-80% load
Core1-65-40-70% load

but in the bios my temps are 60C idle?

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

The bios is normally the most accurate. Run this program and see what it says:

CPU CORE TEMP

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

Sorry, didn't catch that one, just thought you had used some other monitoring program. Darn, that program is pretty darn accurate as a rule. Are you having any trouble with the rig. If it isn't shutting down from heat?

If this were mine, I would redo that thermal paste, because if the Core Temp program is correct, you are getting too warm on the high end. If you decide to do that, use these instructions and don't forget to clean it before you reapply the paste:

Applying Artic Silver Thermal Paste

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

Do you have an aftermarket Heatsink and fan? Otherwise, if you don't, why would you have to remove the motherboard unless there are some special screws or bolts that go on the bottom of the motherboard that are not normal? I just need to understand why you would need to remove the motherboard to change the thermal paste.

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

No, it is not if you are running it at 4.0.

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

They are good temps. What I dont get is why the adapter plate falls off the back when you remove the cooler. That shouldnt happen at all. I understand there have been fitting issues in the past with the socket, but havent they been fixed yet?

Re: cpu high temp or wrong temps?

but in the bios it says 60 C idle but this has to be wrong cause everest nad core temp report 40 C.Is core temp and everest correct or is the bios more accurate than both of them

Have you recently/ever updated your BIOS?
