Cool N' Quiet

Hi

Regarding the AMD64 3000+ (not OC'd yet) on a MSI K8T Neo-FSR mainboard.

I've been experimenting with CNQ and noticed that it runs pretty cool
(CoreCenter reports 26C) and only gets as high as maybe 36C when playing a
full screen game (Day of Defeat in the instance) or running at full
capacity. I'm wondering what would happen if I were to run something a bit
more intensive. Would the CPU fan compensate for this?

Right now, the CPU is running at 1000MHz at 25C with a fan speed of 2721
RPM. Is there a fan "chart" that corresponds to temperature, or does the fan
just kick on when the chip gets overly hot?

TIA,

Jeremy

To amend this...

Late last night and today so far, the temps have gone up. This happened
after I set the max DDR rate limit to 333 in the bios since the memory is
DDR333. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, though.

Temps right now, with CNQ enabled (no OC'ing): 1000 MHz at 45C with a fan
speed of 3183 RPM as reported by CoreCenter. This is with OE and a few web
pages open. It gets as high as 54C during full speed operations.

What changed the temps? The DDR setting?

Furthermore...

Temps have now returned to the previous cooler values again, probably due to
changing that one setting in the bios again. It's called "memclock mode" and
while set to "limit", the temps were higher according to CoreCenter. I have
since returned this value to "auto" and CoreCenter reports a much lower
temp. I'm not sure which is accurate, although the current readings are:

1000 MHz at 22C with a 2596 CPU fan speed.

Any ideas on this? It's quite a discrepancy.

Yes, top posting is easy. I just wish my reader didn't keep giving me
these warnings when I post.

Hell yes, everyone else does. Who cares if it doesn't make sense.

The answer to your problem could be a simple bios upgrade, or the cooler
isn't installed properly.

Quite possibly a problem with the temperature reporting hardware or
software. I have the same motherboard but with a 3400 CPU. My CPU
temperature was reported as 15C idle and 25C stressed the other day and now
it's reporting it as 41C idle and 50C stressed, having changed absolutely
nothing on it.
