Who's ready for overclock fail?

You guys think theres a chance the thermometer is broke? I mean i click run and in 5 seconds it go's from 44c to 61c, thats insane. Thats gaining heat faster then some jet engines.
 
I think its a software misread, cause thats a pretty decent cooler, and you should only be getting those high temps when your really pumping the voltage through that cpu.

Anyone want to give me a few software to test with? I've tried cpuid hwmonitor, and some other one i already got rid of, both showed the same temps.
 
I think there's little chance it's a software misread or faulty sensors. Maybe if your idle temps were reading 20C or 60C, but an idle temp of 44C is probably accurate, not ideal, but probably accurate. The very fast rise in temps when the processor is fully loaded is normal, what's not normal is that the temps don't start level off around 55-60C. Can you hear or verify with software that the CPU fan speed increases as the temps rise? It should double or triple RPM as the temps go up. BTW, Intel specs indicate an upper limit of 67.9C for that processor. I know people take these chips to 75-85C, but that's well outside of design specs.

The fan doesn't pick up speed at all it stays around 1770 rpm. I can set it to max which is like 2200rpm and test and the temps still sky rocket.

Today I tried another cpu stability test, it loads all 4 cores 50-70% the entire time and temps never got passed 60c unoverclocked. I think im just gonna ignor prime 95, The most demanding games don't load my cpu anywhere near 100%.

LOL, we do prime95 so that we KNOW, our overclock is COMPLETELY stable, i would rather have a completely stable cpu running at 3.7, than have a cpu clocked at 4, but it BSOD's everyother time i play a game.

Like I said i have no problems with games only prime95. But lets just wait, bringing it in to work tomorrow, I'll update you guys tomorrow night, and what is tim for the guy who keeps saying that?

Alright well got my rig back and they insisted the temps where wrong, and that if the thing monitoring temps on the board is borken its not worth replacing. I still think thats not the problem because idle temps seem on par. If i let prime 95 run is there a point were my computer will shut down before something blows? I wanna let it run for a long time and if nothing happens then the temps are bs, if it shuts down then there not.
 
If the temp sensors were broken completely they'd be extreme temps... these are reasonable for an overclock on load.
