Curious what others are getting ...

I just built a new system using the MSI nforce board with an Athlon XP1800+ and Thermaltake Volcano7. I'm getting temps around 38C at idle and 43C to 45.5C under full load. I'm using SiSoft 2001te to obtain temps.

you really cant compare temps unless its to other people with the same motherboard, as different mobos adjust the temperatures differently. For example, Asus boards are known to read high, while others read lower.

But just for kicks and giggles, I get 38 idle, 41 full load on an Athlon 1.0 @ 1.3 and an Alpha PAL8045 with a 50cfm Sunon fan.

If you really want more accurate temps get an LCD monitor. Like this one! I am using it. Mobo says cpu @full load is 37c but LCD shows 43c. This alone shows what a difference the mobo shows. Even LCD is not 100% right. But much closer!

<< you really cant compare temps unless its to other people with the same motherboard, as different mobos adjust the temperatures differently. For example, Asus boards are known to read high, while others read lower. >>


not only that, but the thermal probes don't accurately measure the cpu temp period. i have 2 thunderbirds on kt133a mb and 1 palamino on a kt266a, i think they're really great computers for the price, but they can't read cpu temps accurately at all. worst one:
amd xp 1600+@1.4
epox 8hka+
alpha pal8045
case: 22c
idle: 35c
load: 37c
temps taken with mbm5. 2c difference from idle to load is unreal. as MoFunk said, an external probe near/touching the cpu would yield better measurements, but internal cpu thermistors would be best. if you ask me, motherboard readouts are total bs and show little, if any, relevant information on gauging cpu temps. i don't think comparing temps between systems with the same mobo are any better.

GlobalWin WBK-38
Enlight 7237 with 2 Sunon 80mm High speed fans 42.5CFM each (1 intake / 1 exaust)
EnerMax 365 PSU

Here in Florida right now , it's 19C/68F outside & about 21C/71F inside .
PCAlert3 & Bios read the same = 40C/104F (CPU) ..................... 35C/95F (Case) ------------- All at idle .

It seems my case temp is much higher than it should be but don't know if it's just the MB reading it inaccurately or what ?
I've heard that MSI MB's read higher for some reason . Anyone have any ideas ?
I did do a small mod to the case by enlarging the front intake holes to a litte over double the size that they were .

We should have a thread similar to this one but have it broken down to each MB Manufacturer & Model . Even with all the diff. mb's , cpu's & hsf's that are out there , it would be a very helpful tool & I bet it would'nt take too long to build a database with the newer setups that people have .
(or is there a site that has a similar setup already ?)
