Lightspeed+E6700+ASUS P5W DH=255 Degrees?

[ckbrame]

All,

I finally got all the pieces to my system and have got the system to post. Im looking in the BIOS and it says I my CPU is at 255F or 127.6c. The temp never fluctuates which seems to me a bad reading espically with the evaporater head temp. The LS LCD panel says -48 as usual. The system seems fine but have not done anything with it yet. and the motherboard tray does not feel warm at all. I am wondering if the temp readings are just not calibrated correctly for this chip. Any suggestions would be be great!

Intel E6700
ASUS P5W-DH BIOS 903
2 GB og Corsair 8500 DDR2
7900GTXC

Please let me know if anyone else has seen this issue.
Thanks,
CK

Your processor would have melted long ago, if your temps were anywhere near 127°C. Besides, you have phase change, it isn't even possible, unless you forgot to attach the evaporator head.:shocked: I wouldn't worry about it at all, since you have sub-zero cooling. It's us air coolers that have to worry about whether or not the temps we're seeing are correct.

well, i'm guessing that its a reading problem. besides, the reading of 255 is suspicious - 255 is 2^8 - 1 or a reading of FF assuming that the sensor is 8-bit with 1 degree Fahrenheit precision.

Be sure to post your top (stable) results with the LS....

I may have to break my VapoChill PE out of mothballs to see what it can do with a Conroe...

use speedfan as well.

Both 127 and 255 are maximum amounts of data that can be held within a byte. 127 is the maximum value that can be held in a signed byte (-127 to 127), and 255 is the maximum value that can be held in an unsigned byte (0 to 255).

In all likeliness, it seems that your temperature sensors are reading wrong spewing out crap, and overflowing the byte.

Yep, you temp sensor on the mobo isn't designed for sub-zero readings, and its obviously flipping out, I've seen this before

Wouldn't that be -128 to 127?

i have the same problem and my temps is like yours when i saw +127.6 oC in bios i stopped pc at once and unmount the ss head to see if it is a contact problem but it was ok!!!! the contact was perfect. bios use is latest 1101 cpu e6600 mobo p5w dh deluxe ...
is there any tip to see the right temps? im afraid to start up again my new pc !!

If the head gets cold and has a good connection then the CPU must be cold enough to be used. Boot it up and if it actually hits 127.6C it will shutdown in a few seconds. I have an E6600 and P5W DH Deluxe and a home built cooler but I'm moving up to MIT tomorrow so I won't be able to post my results for a week or two.

Ah, so that's how you get those big overclocks

Mothballs, who woulda thunk?
