Hi, I have built an HTPC with an Asus P5K-VM and a Pentium Dual Core 2160 1.8GHz (200x9) and I am wondering about the very inconsistent temps I'm getting. I have mildly OC'd it to 2.25 GHz (250x9) and have EIST and C1, auto voltage, but this also was an issue at stock clock.
TAT shows temps in the low 50's and high 40's even when idle, at 1500MHz (250x6 via EIST) and Vcore at 1.30V! (what Asus PC Probe and Speedfan 4.32 show, CoreTemp 0.95 shows variable voltage from 1.1875 to 1.3250 and CPU-Z from 1.075 to 1.288. I assume PC Probe is right, but also shoudn't C1 be changing Vcore as the processor speeds up and down?).
Core Temp also shows somewhat high core temps, but not as much. I only have it in the high 40's with 3-5 °C below those reported by TAT. But Speedfan 4.32 seems the one that's right, reporting low and mid-30s temps when at 250x6 in both cores, which are separate from the CPU reading, which is what the mobo reports, and it's in the high 20s in this case, the same as reported by PC Probe. System or Mobo temp is also the same in both, at 38°C.
So anyone knows for sure that TAT isn't reading these new chips' temps correctly? I think not even CoreTemp gets them right. They are just too high.
By the way, this is with the Zalman CNPS8000 cooler, and upping the fan does not much for lowering the temps in TAT, it seems that it's pretty much cooling very well at the lower RPM. It was also an issue with the stock cooler.
Any suggestions or info are much appreciated, thanks.
