Could the reported temps of my Brisbane be correct?

Speedfan reports the temperature at idle to be about 25C, as did another program I used (recommended to me by another forum member here but I don't remember what it was called). I assumed it was incorrect, but when I touched the heatpipes of the CPU cooler where they come out of the base of the heatsink, it felt only slightly warmer than the ambient temperature (which would correlate to about 25C). So um, does it sound like it's reporting correct temps to you guys? I haven't checked the temps at load as until this weekend I didn't have internet access at my apt so couldn't even download anything that would push it to load, but I can post them later today.

Idling at 25 at 1.4vcore seems to be very very cool. Unless you're running a thermalright 120 extreme I doubt it could idle at 25c. My x2 3800+ at 1.35vcore idles around 37celsius, and I have to leave the PC alone to do that, don't run anything so to speak, not even browse. That's at 2.6ghz btw.

Load temps don't go over 55celsius. Using a arctic freezer 64pro, 1 case fun directly pulling the hot air out.

yeah that's why i think it's weird but i mean if it were significantly hotter wouldn't the heatpipes be significantly hotter? I'm using a freezer 64 pro as well, by the way.

I haven't tried touching the heatpipes, only the cooling fins. But I can't say for sure. Your ambient is 20ish I guess ? Try cpumark to measure temps and/or nTune ?

 

[f4phantom2500]

yeah its like 70F so thats about 21C. ill try those when i go home.

It's theoretically possible, but keep in mind that if you're looking at core temperature, that nothing out there can accurately report on the core temperature of a Brisbane.

If you're talking about a temp reported by one of the motherboard's sensors, then it's a different ballgame. My motherboard reports temps that are about 30-40C too high, but I have no idea which mobo you're using (mine is the Abit NF M2-nView).
