Hi folks :-) I bought a new cpu: xeon E3-1243 v3 sensors show me the follow data (normal use): Physical id 0: +46.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C) Core 0: +46.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C) Core 1: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C) Core 2: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C) Core 3: +42.0�C (high = +80.0�C, crit = +100.0�C)someone can tell me if these data are "normal"? or should better change heatsink?thanks for help :) Pol
I do not see that model processor on the Intel specifications web site. I see E3-1240, -1241, -1245, and -1246, for version v3:
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75055/intel-xeon-processor-e3-1240-v3-8m-cache-3-40-ghz.htmlThat particular page does not show a temperature rating, but 42 C should be acceptable. Your listing above shows a high limit of 80 C and a critical limit of 100 C.
I use Xcfe and the Sensor plug-in to monitor whatever temperatures and/or voltages are supported on a particular machine. When I put my Intel processors under load, I have seen temperatures above 70 C. I would be concerned if any temperature reached 80 C.
Your computer may have an accumulation of dust in the heat sinks, fans, and/or air ports/ filters. Power down the computer. Disconnect the electrical cables for all fans. Clean all fans, heat sinks, filters, grills, etc., with a vacuum cleaner. (The fans will spin, may act as generators, and could damage your motherboard. This is why I disconnect them.) Reconnect the fans. Boot the computer. Test.
Another possibility is that the heat sink compound may have dried out. Power down the computer, remove the processor heat sink and fan assembly, clean the fan and heat sink with a vacuum cleaner, clean the heat sink compound off of the CPU and off of the heat sink (a plastic gift card or credit card works well), clean the mating surfaces again with rubbing alcohol, apply silver heat sink compound, install heat and fan, boot, and test.
