    Help Connecting PSU to Motherboard

    but that wasn't a double post really. like the thread i quoted is actually a different problem (which i put in a different but correct area i think) than the one in this thread, but the only reason why i linked it in this thread is b/c the problem from this thread may have caused the other...

    Help Connecting PSU to Motherboard

    Hi, Which thread are you referring please for the double post. I haven't used a dmm to verify the voltages... but i'm not as concerned about the voltages values as I am with the spikes that have occurred - so far it has happened twice. First time, from asus probe it read 0.01V for the...

    Help Connecting PSU to Motherboard

    Hi, I've connected the 8-pin instead of the 4-pin. But now I'm getting weird vCore and cpu temperature spikes .. though i'm not 100% sure it's related to switching the 12V connectors. I've posted the message here if anyone can offer any help...

    Help with vCore and CPU Temperature Spikes

    I recently just switched my 4-pin 12V connector, to use the 8-pin EPS connector on the motherboard, and I noticed a few anomalies when I was monitoring my system with Asus PC Probe II and Speedfan. Occasionally, Asus Probe would report that my vCore temperature has dropped below its threshold...

    Help Connecting PSU to Motherboard

    Hi, I did read the manual but it doesn't really tell you in which case you should connect what. It just says that if you want to connect a EPS12V, remove the cap, otherwise connect the 4-pin. However, I don't even know which one I *should* be connecting - that is my question.

    Help Connecting PSU to Motherboard

    Hi Guys, I have a question about connecting my power supply to my motherboard. Here's my setup: Intel E6600 Asus P5B Deluxe Seasonic S12 550W PSU On my motherboard there's a 24-pin connector, which I have no problems with - there's only one of these things on my PSU, so I'm...

    Conroe System and CPU Temperatures

    Thanks a lot for the replies. Canai: So you think I should get a better hsf? Which value do you think is correct then - my core temps or the cpu temp.. they can't be both right when they are conflicting. your core idling temps are super low.. but your ambient is like cold too. yacoub...

    Conroe System and CPU Temperatures

    Thanks again for the reply. This is confusing to me then... reading some articles, they keep saying the CPU temperature is the temperature taken from the heat spreader between the cores (via a DIODE as you said i'm assuming)... so in effect, this temperature should be LOWER than the...

    Conroe CPU and System Temperatures

    I'm trying to say that the temperatures for TAT, CoreTemps and Speedfan for the cores all agree... so I'm not sure why I would need to make any offsets for Speedfan. It's just that the strange thing is that the temperatures for both cores are significantly lower than the cpu temperature...

    Conroe System and CPU Temperatures

    Thank you so much for the reply. I've done a little reading myself and I'm even more puzzled now about my current cpu temp and core temps. In an article I read somewhere, it said that temperatures on the cores (referred to as tjunction) are always supposed to be around 15C higher than the...

    Conroe CPU and System Temperatures

    Hi thanks for the to the guide, I read it. But the guide doesn't explain why the tjunction (core) can be lower than tcase (cpu/heat spread). So i can set an offset in speedfan, but why is it by default that core temp, speedfan and tat all report the SAME tjunction (core) temperatures? why is...

    Conroe CPU and System Temperatures

    Hi Guys, Sorry if this isn't in the right forum, but i got a few questions about C2D temperatures, just wondering if anyone can shed some light. I'm running E6600 with P5B Deluxe Wifi, no overclocking. 1) In Speedfan and other temp reading softwares, there is usually a reading for CPU and...

    22" LCD Help

    Hi everyone, I got a new 22" LCD with a problem that I hope somebody could shed some light on. I'm trying to run a dual monitor setup with the 22" and another 19" monitor. When I connect the 22" LCD into the DVI, and the the 19" LCD into the Analog, I would constantly see something like...
