Oh I make sure I have all excess cables tied back. My CPU always ran about
44c. The 55c temps was during the stress test not in normal usage

Your PC is stable and the CPU voltage and
memory setting are in the safe range.

What I don't like is the 55 to 58 degree temperatures,
the variation is OK, but even 55 degrees seems too high.

I need to do some research to see if this is normal for your
CPU and the Heatsink/fan that you had installed.

One thing you can do if you haven't done so already is to
open the case cover and check for dust buildup in the fins
the are part of the CPU Heatsink.

And also the openings in the case need to be free of dust & dirt, too.

Depending on the mfr, it's not that unusual to see 55° or so on the cpu.
Walmart specials always seem to run hot - those are cheapest-bids without
much concern for anything but meeting specs, regardless of how barely they
meet them. I've been told that some companies sort ouf their "junkers" to
fill their orders to the big box stores rather than put it into the repair
lines; I think I believe it. I've even seen two machines, both Walmart
specials, where the cpu's were under-clocked, apparently to meet the heat
specs because the cpu in both was running real hot. At first I thought it
was a clock-down ckt based on temps, but then I discovered the speed
jumper. I replaced the cooling towers, used the right amount of thermal
compound, got a better fan and in both cases clients were ecstatic over
how much better they worked. Oh yeah, and one sink had a bad clamp;
hardly held the sink in place on one side; I could slide a piece of paper
under one side of it.

Cables can mess things up too, especially the wide IDE cables. There
should be a clear path to the vent where the air is intended to exit the
case. In a good machine they're tied so they almost have to be in the
right positions. Nowadays anyway. It didn't use to matter, but ... it
does at the speeds they're running now.

There are two variables to check there, too: The location of the sensor
(internal to the components or actual separate sensors glued to something)
is important and can make the readings questionable too. I've always
thought it was "cute" how you can always get a temp reading on a hard
drive but not the cpu. There have to be reasons for that beyond the
obvious.

HTH,

I just ran the Prime95 for 3 hours and 21 minutes and there was no
errors or problems. The temp got up to 58c the highest and 55c the
lowest, it kept jumping for 55, 56, 57 58, it didn't stay on one
temp. Debbie

Your CPU temp reached 70C, is that correct?
If it is you have a CPU cooling problem.

No I didn't run it yet. After I get done running errors later I
will run it. I did run a stress test in the Everest and the temps
got up to around 53c until the stupid virus scan kicked in then it
shot up to 70 so I shut the pc down.

Your fine.

Did you run Prime95 yet?

The thing is it is considered overclocking by 3%. I have left
all voltages alone, right now the core voltage is 1.192 and
sometimes goes to 1.184, so is that good? Core speed is 3185.0,
bus speed 335.3, rated FSB 1341.1, DRAM freq 536.4

Most BIOSs that allow you choose either an
'Auto' or manually when setting the CPU and Memory
voltages. Since you are not overclocking set it to 'Auto'
(Make a note of the current voltage settings if you have changed
them)
and then run Prime95.

I didn't put the CPU in myself, I had the techs do that, I
didn't want to mess with that. I just bought the part and had
them install it so I don't know what kind of paste they used. I
replaced the stock fan with a Zalman 9500A 92mm. My pc
always ran in the 40c's even with a side fan and I just
recently added a third fan in the front. The case is in a
enclosed shelf in the desk. I always keep the door open a bit
for the air to get around in there. What about the voltage, do I
need to change it?

Did you run Prime95 I mentioned in my earlier
post?

Your CPU Temp (CPU 45c) looks a little high,
are you using the stock Intel Heatsink and Fan?
If you are not using Intel's stock heatsink and
since assembled this system yourself what did
Heatsink and Thermal paste did you use.

Prime95 "Stress Test"
"FREE MERSENNE PRIME SEARCH SOFTWARE"
http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/

Download and unzip. It's a standalone .exe file
when you first start this program you will see
a "Welcome to GIMPS" window. bottom right click
on the "Just Stress Testing" button. In the
"Run a Torture Test" window select the "Blend"
option. Leave the "Number of threads to run"
at 2. Don't forget to start SpeedFan before running
Prime95 so you can monitor your CPU temperature.
When your done running Prime95 use the menu to stop
the test, if you don't and just X out it will still be running
in the background in which case you will need to open
Task Manager to Kill the Prime95 process.

I Personally turn my PCs off at night even though each
PC has it's own UPS power backup unit, why keep the
system running when your sleeping.

Oh my I would never clock it up that high. Now since I did
all this I don't have to adjust any voltages do I? My temps
right now are CPU 45c and MB 42c. I have a fan on the side
and one in the front. One in the back and a new one on the
CPU. Now I usually keep the pc on all night, should I shut
it down instead? The processor is running at proper speed but it
is still
calling it overclocked. I think I read on some reviews that
some people had to adjust it to get the right speeds. So
I'm good to go then? Debbie

Also about half way down this page:
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/intel_e8500/3.htm

You will see some screen shots of just how fast they
were able to overclock their test system.

I do not recommend overclocking as you may
void your warranty. So if you are happy with
the performance now that the processor is running
at the proper speed, leave it that way.
