Post Your Athlon XP Temps Here!!

[BD231]

Hey everybody, I figured I'd start a temp thread for the Palamino!. So post your chip speed and temp's. I'd start but I dont have mine up and
running yet.

XP 1800+, 1.53GHz @ 1.725GHz (150x11.5). Air cooled by Swiftech MC462-A (Delta 68.5cfm). 36C full load.

Why?

AthlonXp temps are gonna be even more inaccurate than T-bird temps. They will do nothing but lead to further confusion. What's worse? The boards that previously got good contact with the cpu-pcb backside will no longer do it.

I dident know this, but just because the temps are inacurate dosent mean there's gonna be 10 degree C difference between what readings
we do get. I simply posted this so that everyone who wants to know what kind of temps are being seen, can have this thread for refrence.

That's the whole problem? One particular motherboard will read 10 or more C lower than another particular motherboard. Factor in case temps and you can see a wide variance in temps even though both chips are likely similiar in "rise over ambient".

A reference without Motherboard type, Ambient case temp, and Socket-thermistor location is useless and ADDS to confusion. That's why we see all the "why is my cpu temp too hot" threads. Because they are comparing their own temps to people with motherboards that "read lower" than theres. And yes, some boards read significantly lower than others. A bi-product of AMD not forcing motherboards to read the XPs internal diode.

When I get all my goodies, I think I may just bore a hole in my HSF like I see in some of the comparo's, and bury a sensor in there.

Any idea on a distance from the surface of the chip/hsf interface? Maybe if we had a standard(say 1/4"), a number of us could do that and create a baseline.

 

[Mikewarrior2]

it should be as close as possible....


Even then, it won't read "cpu temp" it will read "heatsink temp at cpu junction"... even the best heatsink thermocouples read 70% of actual core temp rise over ambient.

so... your best bet is to find a mb that will read hte diode

I guess we'll just have to wait till boards that can read the Xp's diode are wide spread enough to make a good comparison. I think it really
bites that AMD dident force mobo manufactures to produce a product that could utilize such a standard feature. :disgust:
