Please Tell me your Duron and P3 temps...

[Trifecta]

I am wondering if I am ok >

Duron 600 Asus A7V Bios 1004a

Cpu Idle : 49
Mobo Idle: 33


P!!!700e @ 910

Cpu idle : 38
Mobo idle: 27

is this on par with everyone else?

I am a little worried about the duron. I have an Alpha on it and it seems a little on the hot side...

Also, My duron's die is messed up on one side since I was a goofball newbie when I installed it. However, I have had it running at 900 for 1 month without a single problem...i guess i got lucky

idle is fine there on the duron. A better sink will drop it down some.

let me tell you i have this CHEAP A$$ VANTEC cooler from 2cooltek, and it gets up to 56C on a hot day, and the prime95 starts dying.

I just kicked in $13 for a taisol, it better work better

56C is right where the duron starts flaking out. keep an eye on it during full load.

 

[abracadabra1]

better watch out. once it gets to that 56C range, that's when the proteins start to denature and your chip will definately be deemed DEAD

btw, my duron only gets as high as 41C full load after 12 hours of testing- using globalwin fop-32-1.

 

[Trifecta]

yaknow, I think this Alpha was crapola.

They send me some silvery paste and I used it like an idiot...

also, I could see that it wasnt perfectly flat on the bottom, I wonder if I should send it back...

I should really be getting lower temps!

 

[paulip88]

How is the case cooling for your AMD setup? I only have 29C on my mobo and it was pretty warm in here earlier. It seems like a little more circulation in the case could help out your alpha.

 

[Dan]

I've had my system on for 7 hours. CPU temp = 40c.

Relevant Specs:
Duron 600MHz @ 900MHz
Cooler Master DP5-6H11 Heatsink/Fan
Abit KT7 mobo
NEC 128MB CAS 2 PC-133 DIMM
Enlight 7237 Mid-Tower w/300Watt P/S
80mm Dynaeon intake fan, lower front
80mm Dynaeon exhaust fan, upper rear (below P/S)
Rounded Cables

Duron 700@700: 32C

That's on a Global Win FOP32

 

[Trifecta]

I have lots of cooling, but I just got a blue orb and Im about to put that on my chipset, and I am cutting a hole in my door to put a fan to blow straight at the processor.

I think that I just have a crappy alpha. Like I said earlier, I think that the bottom copper plate was not perfectly level. there might be a small air gap inbetwen my heatsink and chip...

 

[mikelou26]

yo guys...
i have a question..
my p3 coppermine is at...
92 F
and my mother board temp is at
91 F
....
err..
that is bad for intel isnt it?
=x
and um..
i spent....200 bucks tried to get alpha p3125 (56 bucks)from 2cooltek.. =(
they gave me p7235 *sigh*...that one costs 43 dollars or so..
*sigh*
=(

RoadRunner:

I got the "cheap" Vantec HSF from there also. Mine runs at 42C - 43C idle and 45C - 46C under full load. I had it running at 800 MHz for awhile at 1.65v, but started getting weird lockups with Photoshop and other programs. I could play Quake 3 for hours without a problem, so I'm not sure what it could be. Temp at that voltage would run at about 46C at idle and 49C at full load. How high are you running yours? How much voltage? Oh, my mobo temp is usually around 29C - 31C.

 

[RoadRuner]

im running my duron 600 @950 right now at 1.85V

53C full load right now

 

[Mikewarrior2]

The temp readings on socket A cpu mb are highly questionable anyways, so comapring numbers doesn't mean jack.

For example, these factors come into play:

Thermistor Placement(every mb is different, even differnet kt7's are different).
Bios Revision(later bios' try to compensate for inaccuracies)

Are the temps you are reporting overclocked temps or temps at 600?

For the people reporting sub 40C temps on o/c durons, your idle temps must be at least 20C for that to be an even close representation of what core temp would be. Again, i know you aren't lying, but its a mb/bios/socket a/amd/via issue.

I'm running my Duron 600 at 800MHz @ 1.85V. Perfectly stable at 100% CPU load (Divx'ing DVDs, running my CFD codes for my research, etc.). Temp is a little high (around 55C at full load), but seems fine in both Win98 and Win2K. I'm using an Alpha PAL6035, and I have a 8cm Delta 4000RPM fan blowing the HSF air out the back of the case, so that might be helping...

Running A7V 1.01, with BIOS 1003. Thermistor is placed on bottom of heatsink, real close to where it touches CPU die...

 

[Compellor]

Mikewarrior2,

I've read on another forum about something called "CPUidle." It was supposedly used in the earlier TL bios of the ABIT KT7, and made the CPU run cooler when at idle. I also read something that said ACPI makes the CPU cooler at idle. I disabled ACPI when setting up Win98 SE because of some IRQ conflicts I was having. Does ACPI really do anything for cooling the CPU?

 

[Mikewarrior2]

ACPI, if I remember correctly from another thread, idle's a cpu helping to reduce idle temp. It does not idle to the degree that the built-into win2k system idle does, nor does it idle to the degree that cpu idle does.

You could use cpuidle to reduce the idle temp, but if your chip is running fine, i wouldn't worry about it. I personally don't worry about it because my cpu is always at 100% Load.

Heya all, pretty new to this. But here's my stats, got my items today:

Duron 600 @ 1000 1.675v 38 to 40c under load
Fop32 (going to upgrade to fop38, don't care about the noise)
Geforce 256ddr
2 * 128meg toshiba pc100 cas2(going to upgrade soon)
Abit kt7 raid
Fong Kai 320 With 120mm front, 80mm rear
Sb live value
MAxtor 13 gig(going to upgrade soon)

If anyone has a deal on a fop38 they are willing to get rid of, or the likes i might be interested. I ordered my fop38 from icompz with next day delivery, sent me it 3 days later, on top of that, instead of the fop38, they gave me the fop32, and i don't know how they're going to handle this, because I am not going to pay shipping to ship back dammit! ::grins:: thanks guys.

 

[Spindler]

wow balael, you got yer 600@1000 at only 1.675v?! mine wont even post at 900 without at least 1.700v simply amazing is there a trick you did to do this?

just for comparison's sake -

my 650@1000 1.850v wont even post!
650@950 1.850v post ok, wont load into win98

650@900 1.850v post ok, load into win98 ok, runs prime95 solidly for 8 hrs, but the true test is in diabloII - where it keeps locking up after 5 mins of play , so not very stable still. temp is apprx 44-46C idle and at 49-50C after playing diabloII. this is w/ the case lids off. with it on, it zooms up to apprx 56C.

650@850 1.750v post ok, load into win98 ok, and runs prime95 solidly, and runs diabloII solidly too!! played for about 4 hours last night without one hiccup. apprx tmp is 40-42C idle and apprx 45-47C after diabloII session. again, this is w/ the case lids off.

this chip is a week23 unlocked chip, and as i've seen around here, the preweek24 chips rarely run stably above 850. each person's mileage may vary tho.

regardless, 850 is still extremely fast for me so i'm content. i am a bit disappointed however that it wont even do 900 as i've seen tons of others doing 1gig and above.:Q:disgust::frown:

 

[Balael]

Heya. I'm new to this whole thing, this is my first attempt and a success at that. I guess i just got lucky, i got a week 29 chip, and i'm sure that must be why from what i've read across the board. I've been running stable at 1.675 in pretty much just about everything, the only thing it will crash is when i'm rendering some serious pictures in bryce4.1, but other than that it runs smoothly at about 37 to 38 idle, and 40 to 41 while rendering for a while. I'm not really sure what kind of temps i'd get from a stress test, just have no need to run it. Just curious, do you think the fact you have 3 hdd's on the raid might have something to do with not posting? i know it shouldn't, but you know how picky these things can be.

Do you also think your thermaltake chrome orb might not be doing a sufficient job at cooling? not sure though like i said, this is my first try. here's everything.

Duron 600 @ 1000 1.675-1.7v at 38 to 40
Abit kt7 raid
Fop32-1 thermal pad
2 x toshiba pc100 128meg
maxtor 13gig, 33 ::gags::
Geforce ddr
Fong kai, 120mm front, 80mm rear.

I'll try and change some things in the bios to see if i can get more stability out of 1.675, and post if i find anything.

Btw, it won't post anything over a gig, but i have tried changing the fsb at all, don't think my ram or vid card will like that too much, but we'll see.

my duron 700 runs at 1016mhz at only 1.65v in BIOS (Although MBM says 1.70v).

with cheapie coolmaster fan and arctic silver i am at 51 full load. getting my taisol soon i hope.....
