I just upgraded my EX490 with a E6500 CPU. I used Artic Silver 5 on it. On my first OCCT test temps hung around 62-65 while under full load and 37-40 during idle. Do these temps look good? Please give me your input. I will try the test in a few days and report back on the temps. From what I hear the AS5 will take time to breakin and temps could be a bit lower. |

The temps look good. I use an E5200 and I run 39 degrees C at idle and 63 degrees C at full load during boot up. This only lasts for about 20 minutes while it rescans a large media database. I had used an E7500 and saw temps up to 78 to 84 and I went to the E5200. I have 2 HP servers and have built several others and your temps are ideal, especially if most of the time they are in the 40 degree range. |

Yes, those temps look good. I run a Q8300 and the temps are very similar to mine and should get better as the Artic Silver cures. |

Hey, did you have to find any specific stepping for the Q8300 to make it work in your ex490? I ask because I just picked up a 490 and was looking at all the CPU options. I hadn't seen anyone else using the Q8xxx series Core2Quad chips though. I have seen some Q8200s chips on ebay for around $120, was considering picking one up if it would work. Thanks in advance, Eric |

Nothing special needed to be done. I had an extra Q8300 laying around and used it. |
