Hi,

What is the ideal Idle/Load Temperature of Phenom II X6 1100T ?

For me Speedfan is showing 51C at idle (~ 15% CPU Load). I am using Hyper 212 (in Push & Pull mode). Is it too high? As I know it should be around 45C, correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Adhip

Idle 51 Deg with 212 EVO is a little bit on Higher side. Whats the ambient temp?

First of all, stop using SpeedFan, it's known for reporting incorrect readings. Use CoreTemp and re-report the temps.

Yeah
use core temperature [by pressing "delete" (or other key acco to your mother board)during booting process]
Also can try "CPUID HWMonitor Pro"

Make sure you've disabled CPU QFan Control in the BIOS and the CPU fan is rotating at full speed all the time.

for reducing idle temperature try the following :-

1. set your CPU vcore to 1.30 V [by pressing "delete" (or other key acco to your mother board)during booting process]
2. clean your sytem (specially cpu and psu fan)

May be issue with the speedfan as in bios it is showing as 45C. But CoreTemp and CPUID HWMonitor Pro is not able to report any temp. (it is showing as 0C). Please advice.

Please find the attached screenshot of HwINFO for your reference.

Last update.. HwInfo is showing 43C

Are all temperaturers being reported now?

CoreTemp and HwMonitor Pro is not reporting any CPU temperature. Check the attached screenshot.

core temperature in bios gives best reading

you are using trial version of HwMonitor Pro
This may be the reason of 0C temperature

Also your cpu vcore is high
reduce it to 1.30 V
it will definitely reduce temp further

core temperature in bios gives best reading

Not necessarily as some BIOS report wrong temps

Here in my BIOS the CPU temp is reported as 40C~ where as in reality it is around 36C~

My bios always reports cpu temp above 70 whereas it actually is 45. Incorrect temperature in bios due to bugs is quite common.

I have reduced VCore Voltage, to 1.3 V now temp is showing 41 at idle in HwInfo. But Core Temp is still not reporting any temperature.

Temps look fine now in Summer. I don't think 41c is a matter of too much concern.

Try updating the BIOS and all drivers.
