Well this is not a thread for posting stuff bad about intel and scan. I would simply like to know who is actuly having problems. I for one am having the heat issue where my cpu will hit around 63C load and the second core would hit 58C, idles at around 45-55C. I know 72C is there max temp but im most concerned that this product isnt living up to what intel have said. Cooler then the old 65nm, yeh only the working ones, annoying really.
I will be emailing intel but it would be nice to know how many people are actuly having these problems. May i also ask you email intel too, more email the more likely intel will do something.
@Admins/mod's please dont close as this is research and flaming etc shouldnt be here.
Thanks for getting answers previously though@scan.
edit: googleing i found this quote from intel....
The maximum operating temperature of the Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor E8400 is 61.4 degrees Celsius. As long as the processor is operating under this temperature it is operating within specifications. We recommend setting any thermal alarms about three degrees below the maximum recommended temperature for the processor. We do not have a normal operating temperature for the processor as this temperature will vary depending on the chassis and other hardware installed on the system as well as the actual load the software is placing on the processor
(found here Overclockers report heat problems with E8400)
And mine runs up to 63C, sorry but that clearly shows a fault there.
