    Vcore two high?

    Yeah, that's not the best CPU cooler. It should work fine at stock voltages and clocks but I'd never expect it to properly cool an overclocked/overvolted CPU. Are you at stock settings?

    Yep, I cleared cmos couple days ago

    Ok, what cooler are you running? but that shouldn't have an impact on voltage, I still think Speedfan is just showing you sth that's not true, but for the sake of it I'm going to test that with my system...exspecially for you :P

    You could definitely try applying a better thermal paste. Stock stuff that's pre-stuck on heatsinks is almost never proper. It'll get air bubbles or just not spread fully, and is meant to be stable without drying out when it's left out in the air on a shelf for 5 years.

    The cooler I have isn’t the stock cooler, when I bought the cpu and motherboard used it didn’t come with a cooler, and apparently this combo was used in extreme ocing

    LIQUID METAL EVERYTHING no don't do that...stick with ic diamond...just stay away from it...it's a pain to apply...but when the addiction kicks in

    I haven’t touched Tim that’s better than cp15

    that doesn't impact just run a stresstest

    Is prime95 fine?

    Other sources say it's the chipset voltage...what a mess. Could you do me a favour and open cpuZ and HWmonitor and set the CPU under load? just for like 2-5 minutes AIDA64 extreme. maybe with those values we can figure out some more

    I also only have the trail version of aida64

    The bios says it’s 1.236vcore

    Can you try HWiNFO64 and see what that says? You might see 3-5 different vcore voltages so look at all of them.

     

    If you're getting very high temperatures I'd lean towards the highest reported voltage being accurate.

    It’s 1.120, the cooler I have is from China with crap paste, could that also be it too?

    As far as i researched, speedfans Vcore2 is actually you ram voltage, maybe check you bios what is set to what

    I’ll check my bios

    I’m getting two different numbers from two different stat things, it’s hwmonitor and speedfan 4.52, on HWMonitor I’m getting 1.216 and on Speedfan I’m getting Vcore2: 1.52. Would this be a problem why my i7 is over heating on a cooler that’s very comparable to the stock cooler, my specs are i7 920, Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, EVGA 450BV.

    I don't know about the EX58-UD5. The X58a-UD5 and -UD3R work very well with the Xeons.

     

    If the motherboard says it's compatible with the 32nm chips, that means it'll work with the 6 core Xeons (update your bios first).

     

    Try it and see?

    Its version F12 and I dont have the xeon it'll be a month or two before I get it into my hands

    Did you read my post on your thread?

     

    The board doesn't play well with Xeons (well, at least mine didn't). X5660's are cheap enough though that it wouldn't hurt just to try it.

    Yes I did, thats how I got here, but I dont want to have wasted money, but there is a guy local to me with an LGA 1366 board too, I'll get the model
