Temp questions

[mad_fitzy]

My Barton 2600+ is running at 2.3 and its idle temp is about 38*C and the load temp is 46. My cpu cooler is a volcano 7+ and im using AS5. Why is the idle so high an not much lower than the full load. Thanks

Oh wow. I just opened up speedfan for the first time and aparently my 12v rail is ruinning at 6v. Is that even possible with out the PC dieing.

are you using some kind of fan speed control? what's your room temperature?

it is, because athlon xps dont use 12v rail. I guess the only component tha uses it is the cd-rom.

38 - 46 is very good and I wouldn't worry about it in the least.

oh yeah, i forgot that hahahaah
i had an thoroughbred B 1800+ at stock and it ran at ~47C, so i guess 46C at load for a 2.3ghz is pretty good

but as he asked, i was trying to help

amd make cool CPUs. nothing to worry about.

Well, either way, a load temp below 60 degrees I would consider safe. Since yours is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY below that, nothing to worry about. If you wanted too, you could try a little OC'ing, because with a temp of 47, you have lots of headroom.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Im not sure what my room temp but i would assume its about 25*C give or take. I opened up speedfan and i was like WTF when i saw 6v on the 12v rail so thanks for putting my fears aside there.

I already am overclocked. The 2600+ Barton core runs at 1.917 stock and I have it at 2.3 but ive hit the wall there.

oh, just because your system is working like that, it doesnt eliminate the need for further tests and probably a new power supply
