precision 470 cpu temperature

i've got a dual 3GHz precision 470 (xp sp2), and using both motherboard monitor and the boot diagnostic software, the cpu temperatures are reported as being around 59-61C for cpu0 and 51-54C for cpu1 at idle (20C/68F ambient). at full load, the temps for both jump to 70-72C.

the fans pass the diagnostic (high/low), and i can hear them speed up a bit (but nowhere near the diag's high fan speed) when the cpu load is high. so i suspect that part of the temp control circuit works fine.

i'm wondering if the temperatures reported in the diag are accurate, as 60C seems extremely high for a cpu at 100% utilization, let alone at idle.

anyone else seeing temperatures this high?

HI,

Yes I have a precision 470 with Daul 2.8 CPU's , and I get the same readers as you. And from what I have read, that is a little to high, because those temps under full load is reaching the Max temps of the cpu's according to intel, which means that ours cpus will burn out quicker.

Did anyone find a resolution to this issue please? I am having the same issue - and with my ambient temp at ~27C, the CPU is at 65C under low workload conditions. AM surprised Dell hasn't posted an update/post/resolution for this issue.
