My E6600.

Post by rackers »

Hi, well basically my specs is the E6600, 6800 Ultra GFX card, MSI Intel 975X mobo. When I start my MSI Core Center it gives me an alarm sound and it looks as if it's doing it because of the CPU fan speed because it's in pink whereas everything else is green. The fan speed is, 800 - 900 RPM. Also the Vcore voltage is in pink, it is 1.18 - 1.19 voltage.

Anything I should be worrying about.

P.S. I set everything back to default includin my memory which I did have @ 800 mhz. :(

I hope someone can help me. :)

Cheers.

the fan is running slow because your cpu isn't running hot. It will go speed up when things get warmer. You should be able to change the CoreCell options to set the alarm threshold @ a lower speed. You should also change that option for the cpu vcore too. Most software doesn't read the voltage correctly on Intel's new cpu's.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless your temps are too high or it's unstable.

What is your CPU temperature when the fan is at 800-900RPM?

its EIST or Speedstep I can't remember which. Basically when the chip is idle, it lowers the multiplier, thus reducing power consumption

Ah I get it, at the moment it is 41 degrees, and the fan speed has increased 988 RPM. :)

sounds like MSI needs to update their utility. The processor temps seem right, so ignore the warning! If you get bored e-mail MSI and let them know their software is out of date!
