Normal temps for E8400 stressed

I'm a bit worried about my temps for the E8400 when it is stressed. So i*m curios to know what is normal. When I stress it in Everest its 65C when max. It is overclocked to 3.4 is this a normal stress temp?

My idle temps are 32C and 36C are they normal aswell? I've used RealTemps.
 
The E8400's seems to read incorrect core temps. Try real temp, also try looking at your "CPU" temp sensor and see what it says. What heatsink are you using?

Arctic freezer 7. I'm using RealTemp.

BTW how did you get yours to 4.0 ghz? I've just begun reading about overclocking and I wonder how you got yours so high. I have E8400 aswell, and I want to overclock it more than I already have. Therefore I'm curious to know how you got yours so high :D
 
In your bios be sure that performance enhance is set to standard. Then start by overclocking .1Ghz at a time up to 3.6ghz until it needs more voltage, then go up by .05ghz. Gradually work it up to 4Ghz and start using orthos to get it stable. Some of these don't need alot of voltage, and some need alot for 4ghz. Just depends on if you have a good chip or not.

Thanks you. I've got the exact same setup as you exept I use DH3870X2 instead
 
It says memory multiplier

you can try setting your ram timings manually to their spec. Disable CIA2, EIST and C1E

Also, for the CPU you'll need to start changing the voltage manually. Depending on if you have a good or bad batch, for 4ghz it could take anywere from 1.25v up through 1.37v. I happen to have gotten luck and have a really low voltage chip, it only take 1.25v in bios for mine to be stable. Which is 1.21v on load in windows

How do I change the voltage manually? Can't find where to do it.:confused:
 
why 60 on full low on air?

why 60 c on air? i thought the e8400 could run at 4.00 ghz on air? without over heating under full load? thats what i heard or is that only with water?
 
After hours of research myself I have come to the conclusion that you are to read the overall cpu temp as the thermal limit set by intel. I have a q9450 ( amazing) and the cores are 36-36-41-42C and I was worried about that and no one would ever give me an answer on what temp to read so like I said I researched it and came the conclusion that you read the cpu temp not the core temp.
