XEON 2630L running 70C @ idle !!

[Sara321]

Hi, new builder here! I am little worried about my cpu temperature. Should I remount the CPU or buy a better CPU cooler? Is there something to change in the BIOS causing the temp to go up?

 

CPU..... Intel Xeon E5-2630L v3

Thanks.

As your CPU temperature under stress isnt much higher, i assume it is the fan curve that lets your CPU idle that high. 70C is not a problem for any CPU, and 74 under load is a good temperature. In the pictures i can see that your cooler is still running at 1166 RPM, which is not a big difference to the 1274 RPM.

 

You should still try remounting your cooler and repasting. The cooler is definetly sufficient for the CPU, so that is not a problem.

Firstly, what are you running on the server? secondly, what type of cooler are you using? low profile? tower cooler? is this a rack server? tower server? workstation?

Your 70C isn't at idle, that is under load, which I would consider to be perfectly fine.

 

Your idle temps are around 35C, which I would consider perfectly fine again.

 

You have nothing to be worried about here, unless you absolutely need it to be running cooler.

For the Xeon Chips max temp is about 60.4C, over that is not good.

My bad, I was thinking more about consumer chips where 90C or 100C is often the limit.

Not to worry. xD

Tcase refers to the IHS temp which users normally don't monitor. Core temps are usually 10-20c higher during operation.

You're probably thinking of TJMax. I'm not sure what that value is for this cpu but I'm guessing it's at least 74c.

Temps seem normal.

workstation with a tower case 
cpu cooler is hyper 212 evo

 

i tried to put too much thermal paste. stil 65C-70C

I also tried to stress the cpu for 1 hour, cpu temp 69C-70C, 1200rpm, no shut down!

I touched the cpu socket/ heatsink/motherboard @ full load, they are not hot.

what is the issue? damaged cpu? damaged motherboard?
