Is the E5700 experiencing overheating issues?
Is the E5700 experiencing overheating issues?
Ok, i recently bought a E5700, 3.0GHZ, 800bus, 2MB cache Dual-Core CPU. It satisfies me mostly, but a few CPU-heavy games like GTA IV, The Saboteur etc are lagging on high settings. So, i decided to try its performance after overclocking. My motherboard allows me to overclock it upto 3.75GHZ, with 1000bus. The performance increase is easily noticeable. (about 10+ FPS on the mentioned games, and much more on other games), but the problem is the increase in temperatures on full load.
Temps without Overclocking:
Idle: 43-48 Full Load: 60-65
Temps with Overclocking:
Idle: 45-50 Full Load: 70-75
I was wondering if its safe...
And yes, I'm using stock fan.
Your temperatures should be acceptable for general use since you typically don’t run at maximum capacity continuously. However, you might want to keep an eye on them during gaming sessions to compare with your stock cooler performance.
Overclocking without a reliable aftermarket cooler could lead to higher temperatures than those achieved with a proper cooler at standard speeds.
The readings from the cores aren’t perfectly precise, and differences in cooler installation could affect accuracy. The operating system distributes the workload evenly across the cores. You can observe this by monitoring Task Manager while gaming or using tools like coretemp.
Another inquiry: Each core operates at varying temperatures, and the CPU temperatures seem to reflect an average of the two.
For instance, Average Temp: 42 Core 1: 45 Core 2: 39
Is this typical?
Why is the second core significantly cooler than the first?
Are there methods to ensure both cores maintain identical temperatures?

You can observe this behavior by monitoring Task Manager during gaming or using tools like coretemp. You’ll likely see the OS alternating the load between the two cores rather than dedicating it to one consistently.
Let me know if you want to share your thoughts on running it at those high temperatures.
instead of showing frustration if your initial inquiry wasn’t fully addressed, you can easily find the specifications for any CPU online.

intel considers a safe maximum operating temperature of 74.1C.
it looks like you’re reaching your thermal limits without causing serious harm. consider relocating your case to a cooler spot, upgrading the fans, using a better heat sink, or finding a more comfortable environment.
Sure, just another shot. I think I'll go for it.
Thanks cadder.
Does your CPU remain functional during that overclock process?
