A7V133 temps with PAL6035

I have just installed my pal6035 on my A7v133 and Athalon 1Ghz. At first I was seeing temps at about 45c with cpucool and 54c with asus pc probe. My computer was locking up hard with use.

I took off the heat sink and got rid of some of the arctic silver, I used too much. Now, my temps are running at about 38-39c w/cpucool and 52c with PCprobe. So far I havent been locking up, but its still early and I havent really put the system through any stress.

Just wondering, is this normal or am I still running too "hot".


 
My 1.2 @ 1.5 is running at 59C under load according to Asus Probe.

Alpha was hard to get on wasn't it?
 
The Alpha rev2 clips are a joy compared to the FOP clips. 😉

Your temps are in-line with what an A7V series board reads.

You might see a bunch of people come in a post much lower temps, but you shouldn't be worried by that at all, they're using different motherboards usually. It is very common for A7Vs(and boards) to read in hte 50s.

I've noticed that too. Does Asus's Athlon boards use temperature compensation since the thermal sensor is off chip?
 
Yep,

and so does UL bios and later KT7 Class boards. Asus' Compensation is different, since the temp reading chip is their propietary chip, it tends start higher than other mb's(most boards use hte VIA southbridge to read chips).
