Awesome writeup, this clears up a lot of questions I had when fiddling with my e4300.

Thanks! =]

is there anything like TAT for an AMD cpu?

Great guide man. Would've written one myself, but you know my dilemma

Reply to dasickninja

Hi.
Thanks for the good posts. I understand it. Just wondering.
For a E6400 to idle is 40c and 45c at full load ( from Asus utilities) - is this good?
I have a good heat-sink and I am well within range, but I thought the temps will be lower.
This is the first time I am running a C2D.
Just wondering..
Thanks!

Maybe I need to get better thermal grease.

No, although still quite cool, a 5c range is far from normal, as illustrated by the temp scale in the Guide. The typical range between idle and TAT 100% load (measured with Core Temp) is 15 ~ 20c. In order to analyze your temps, please verify that "idle" doesn't include SETI or Folding, etc, and define how you've tested your C2D for "full load".

Thanks, Comp 8)

Thanks for the info. I'll keep reading.

Question for you Pros. Here's my hardware:

E6400 OC'd to 2.4 with 300 FSB
MSI 965Platinum
Zalman S9500
OCZ DDR800 running at 667, thus OC'd to 750 (is that even a good setting to be at?)
All voltage at default settings

I'm worried and confused about temps. My bios shows 30c, which seems drastically different from the 55-65c that I get with TAT. It doesn't matter if I run my FSB at 266 or 300, I still am 30c in bios, ~55c in TAT at idle, and climbing to as high as 75c under stress. I tried remounting my S9500 with little change. My case is the Antec Superlanboy and seems beyond well ventilated and the room is probably around 65f.

Should I be concerned? Am I basically limited to this mild overclock with my particular E6400? Any suggestions?

Well first thing this morning I remounted the heatsink again. I used a slightly different technique of spreading my silver compound, but I'm still idling in Windows at just a hair under 50c. When I pushed it at 100% stress with TAT one of the cores climbed as high as 77. Just so frustrating when I see that other people with my fan I getting low 40's.

Contact doesn't seem to be obstructed by any other piece, however it can wiggle on the CPU if I push it. Although that seems bad, given the indentions on the bottom of the heatsink and the way these things bolt in I'm not sure if that's not normal. Seems normal. I guess I can contact Zalman and ask for another heatsink.

The only other thing that I can think of is if my silver thermal compound has gone "bad." Or if it's possibly that my sensors are simply making bad readings, or maybe I just fail at Zalman S9500's :? ?

I wonder how good the TM1 and TM2 are calibrated. My TM2 reading via Asus probe is higher than TM1 reading from TAT and CoreTemp.
Idle: TAT= ~28C, AP= ~36C.
15min@100% from TAT: TAT= ~43C, AP= ~46.
*CoreTemp and TAT shows same readings for me. E6300 REV B2 @ stock clocks right now.

Something doesn't seem right to me :lol: I am more inclined to believe the TM1 reading, since TM2 is just a guestimate I am getting a E6600 as soon as the price drops. I guess I'll find out if it is just something screwy in this particular chip.

Reply to chiadog

Wow, what a day. Besides work and a birthday party for a friend, my copy of Vista arrived in the mail, so naturally I had to dive right in. Bad idea. Several hours later, here's the scoop

Quote :

As previously asked, what's the temp from MSI's motherboard monitoring utility or SpeedFan? We need to know what the TM2 socket sensor is reading for an additional reference.

MSI's Dual Core Center is showing 25C at the same time that TAT is showing 55C. Huh.

Quote :

As previously suggested, try flashing your BIOS to the latest release, and check MSI's forum for other users with temp issues on the 965 chipset, and the Zalman 9500 on your motherboard.

Meh. Flashing my bios AFTER loading vista was a bad idea. Eventually a Boot CD and a Boot Flash Drive put that problem to bed. Upgraded from version 1.2 to 1.3, which from what I hear doesn't affect much. Still, it makes me warm and fuzzy instead knowing it's up to date.

Anyway, given that everything seems to be running stable even at TAT's 55-75C, I'm hoping that the MSI utility is more accurate. Even if I was square in the middle of them I'd be happy.

Thanks a ton for your help CompuTronix, I appreciate it.

Edit: LOL, after just posting this and shutting down explorer I reached down to my computer to turn my fan dial down slightly and the system bluescreened. Perhaps I'm not out of the woods yet. However given that it never did that in XP, I'm hoping it's just Vista.

Reply to dasickninja

Actually, my thread doesn't meet the requirements to be a sticky. First off its a review, not a guide. Take a look at most of the stickies and you'll notice that they all help you "do" something, whether that be overclocking or managing the correct Core temps or building a water cooling loop. Segundo, stickies are general in nature, not specified like my reviews. Besides, this deserved it more, especially when I saw many people asking for it. Heck, I considered writing my own guide, but finishing the Thermal Interface review took first place. Thats why I told you to make this into a thread, and why I recommended it.

Besides, one sticky is enough for me for now. I don't want 2 or more that I have to constantly maintain or update. Enjoy it man. You earned it. ^_^

Reply to dasickninja

Great Thread! But I do have some questions involved, which I believe will help many others understand this in a more in-depth:

1. The core temp is derived from a Digital Thermal Sensor on the core which saved the data on the register. So I'm not sure I understand your claim that the Core Temp reading is some kind of function related to the "bad-old' TM2 sensor temp(Diode sensor)?

2. Would you care further explaining the TM1 and TM2 sensor part? As far as I know, there has always been one temp sensor originating on a diode near the CPU. This diode sends an electrical signal to the sensor on board which will provide the reading to the BIOS/software.

I saw several cases where BIOS/software(Everest/speedfan etc) has reported normal temps, and TM2(and even TM1) were activated(throttling). This means that they withdraw their values from a different source.

This is a bit confusing, since I understood that TM1/TM2 rely on the same sensor, which is much more accurate, but unavilable to 'the public'(I.E - Software/BIOS).

3. Regarding the temperature. the 15-20c differences seems awfully a lot to me. Usually I see a 10+- C difference. Which is one of the reasons I never recommend others to go beyond 60c in TAT. According to what you say, 65c is also fine(which is understandable), but what about 70c and above? that sounds too extreme to me, especially since 80c is already throttling mode.

I would truly appreciate your response on this matter, as it seems that despite the great information, this thread has triggered some confusion on my part.

Reply to GGuyZ

Thank you once again. I still wish to clarify my queries some more, if that's ok with you. I want to get my terms right so I don't confuse myself(and others).

Regarding questions 1 and 2: In short, do you mean that TM2 temperature reading is basically the ordinary Diode reading? And that it also stores the tables for TCaseMax temp(Which is the max temp on the external central point of the IHS that guarantees stable work when TDP is at it's max)

In addition, I understand that TM1=DTS(The digital reading from each core)?

I assume you're referring to the ordinary TM1 and TM2 technologies from Intel, which also cause throttling. If so, I wonder why this is the way it only works on Pentium M based CPUs? TM1/2 were also available in the later models of the Pentium, but in these models only the inaccurate Diode reading is available.
In addition, I have personally experienced and seen cases where TM2 cause throttling, despite having rather low temp reading by the diode. It is not unlikely however, that the real temp was higher, and the sensor was giving an errorenous temp.

In regards to my 3rd question, which should be the max recommended Core Temperature for stable, long overclock, that will not endanger the CPU in the long term(more than the obvious). I have always thought staying below 60 is required, or atleast 65.
I understand that 75 is high, 80 is throttling, and 85 is shutdown temp. However, I'm trying to refer to the recommended general temp for long overclocks.

Thank you again for your explanations.
Best Regards.

CompuTronix I'm still a bit confused. Take a look at this screenshot.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/yildun/Core2.jpg

This is at 95% load for about 30 seconds. In case the text is too small, the Motherboard Utility shows a temp of 41C, right where I want to be. Still, I always get about 30C difference between TM2 and TM1, aka Bios, Dual Core Center, and TAT. I tried using Speedfan but only seems to see the Hard Drives.

Core Temp is showing similar readings to TAT, so I guess I have to assume that they are both accurate. Which leads me to believe that perhaps I have a defective CPU? Increased cooling would lower TM2 readings below reasonable levels, given how low they are already. TM1 readings are still way hot, which makes me think that the CPU doesn't conduct heat properly. The other option is that TM1 simply is not taking accurate readings, which seems plausable given that I was running quite stable when I took that first screenshot of 74C. Hrm.

30+C variance between TM1 & TM2 seems rather nuts. Should I be concerned with these readings?

It's important to be specific, so without knowing your specs, I would guess that you're running a 965 chipset. The 71c indication you see with TAT, (which is fairly warm), is believable. Assume that the TM2 socket sensor measurement is erroneous by -12c to -15c. It may be possible to correct this condition by flashing your BIOS.

Hope this helps. 8)

Heh... sorry chief:

E6400
MSI 965 Platinum
Zalman 9500

I just flashed to version 1.3 yeserday, with no noticable difference. Not sure what else to try. I have a default clocked (or 300FSB) E6400, silver compound, a very well ventilated case, and the best aircooling heatsink money can buy. Unless that CPU is defective either by non-conduction or bad readings, I can't think of anything else to try.

Thanks a ton for your write up though, I never understood the difference between TM1 and TM2 before.

Details are important, and Vcore is one of the 4 variables; frequency, Vcore, load and ambient room temp. There are many posts regarding temperature anomalies with 965 chipsets, particularly Gigabyte motherboards. Some users report inverted values between TM2 socket temp and TM1 core temps. Check MSI's forum for more information regarding temperature problems.

Not to pop your bubble, but the Zalman 9500 isn't any longer the best CPU cooler money can buy. (Sorry). If a Tuniq Tower will fit into your case, you can reduce temps by ~ 5c, and by using G751 rather than AS5, you can further reduce your temps by another ~ 4c, as shown in the following review:

Thermal Interface Shootout

Hope this helps. 8)

Sorry, that information is kind of what I meant by "default." 1.16 is what's showing on Dual Core Center. Room Temp is 18C. Granted I guess that Zalman 95 isn't the king of the hill anymore, but 70+ TM2's?

Do you think a defective CPU is worth looking into?

Reply to Nyloorb

Thank you again, now most things are cleared up.

I've been doing some more reading on this matter and found that on the Presscot 90nm models, the Thermal monitoring sensor(it is unclear whether this is TM1, TM2 or both) is separate than the Thermal Diode. I'm uncertain whether this is the case with C2D or not, but according to what you say, they've integrated these two sensors into one sensor(Only diode sensor is now present for TM2). In any case, this explains why throttling might be activated on Pentiums without reaching extraordinary temps according to the sensor(I.E - Diode).

In regards to deriving the Core temperature. I wonder, why do we need to have TCaseMax temperatures saved within the BIOS? Is there any correlation to the Core Temp(I heard that deriving the Core Temp is a certain function invloving Tjunction max temp actually, and not TCaseMax), if so - what is it?

Quote :

A considerable difference of the new mechanism is that TM2 (as the manufacturer claims) can control the frequency (to be more exact, FID – FSB frequency multiplier) and CPU voltage (VID), while TM1 modulates CPU clock. Due to reduced voltage, TM2 allows to retain better processor performance in case of overheating at the same reduction of power consumption level

According to the same article(http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/intel-thermal-features/atmm2.html), Pentium M uses the same type of TM2 as well, which does cause throttling. C2D is based on P-M as far as I know. So how is it that TM2 doesn't invoke throttling in C2D?

Reply to GGuyZ

Thanks to your explanations, I've got most of it covered.

However, I am trying to to understand all of this more in depth than the scopes of this guide. In addition, there are still several minor issues that seem to contradict your explanations. While I believe your explanations are more accurate(since they are more informative), I wonder if you could refer me to places where I can find more information regarding this?

I do not wish to 'spam' this thread and make it unnecessarily long, so I'd appreciate it if you could refer me to certain places where I can read some more(I've done all the research I can, and I came up with this guide and a few others which doesn't seem thorough enough).

If it is alright by you, it would be great if we can discuss this further.

Best Regards.

Reply to GGuyZ

Once again I appreciate your help. However, I'm not doing this research for my own built, but just to expand my general knowledge.

Since I don't want to trouble you, I'd be thankful if you could refer me to more in depth sources to learn more on the subject. I am actually concered with how the micro architecture works in regards to the discussed subjects, which is why I'm so eager to find out more about it.

If you think my questions are suitable for this thread, then I will continue to ask. But, I really don't want to spoil this wonderful thread with long queries.

Best Regards.

Reply to GGuyZ

CompuTronix, Thank you for the wonderful article. But I'm afraid, that this article tends to contradict many issues we previously discussed.

Quote :

Extended throttling in action! In reality everything was exactly as it was described in theory — TM1 snaps into action, when TM2 is insufficiently efficient.

Quote :

Indeed, the outdated TM1 technology, which controls only the effective clock rate, but not the core voltage, cannot maintain CPU temperature like TM2.

According to this article, TM2 is the first to invoke throttling. The way it works is by lowering the FID and VID to minimum. When TM2 is not strong enough, the less efficient TM1 takes place simultaneously and tries to help by inserting idle cycles. This article also stresses that TM1 is hardly as efficient as TM2 when it comes to throttling and maintaining normal temperature.

It also seems that TM2 invoked throttling at about 80c core temp, which makes me believe it relies on the DTS sensor, and not on the analog reading from the diode(that isn't A-D converted at any point).

I'm not trying to contradict you or anything, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. I would also truly appreciate it if you could link me to a resource which talks about the temperature sensors themselves and how they are related to TM1/TM2. This article mainly spoke about the throttling itself, and not about the temperature reading and sensors.

Best regads,
Guy.

I also am having the problem where my CPU loads only increase ~5c when going from idle to load.

I will try shutting everything down in Vista to see if the sidebar or something else is using cycles.

Right now I am clocked at 3.15Ghz (9x350) @ 1.40625vCore. I would like to go higher, but I need to sort out some cooling issues (45-50 idle, 55-58 load).

Is it normal to have one core slightly higher in temp than the other. Usually my core 1 shows 2c more than core 0.

Thanks for the help and any advice. Right now it is Orthos stable for at least 2 hours, Havent run it overnight yet.

Reply to dasickninja

Well I read a post above where it said that the delta from idle to load should be more than ~5c so I wasn't sure.

After some more reading, it looks like I may be able to get away with a little less vCore if I lower the multiplier and run higher FSB. I have good ram (Patriot pc6400) so maybe 400x8 or 450x8 at a lower vCore would result in less temps... or just work on the case cooling, since it sounds like everything is in check. The room is probably ~27c and the PC sits in a desk with an open back ,but is still very close to the wall..

Thanks!

my temps are only change about 4 or 5C from idle to full load with my asus board even with the latest bios i think its 1107. with pc probe/ai suite/bios temperatures range from 47-51 or 52c. with core temp i only have an idle reading of 37-41c.

setup is

A-DATA 2 X 512 ddr-800
big(maby too big) cooler master cooler w/ AS5

all at stock speed/volt

room temp is about 72 F

and HDs are usualy between 18-28c

which reading should i trust? the asus board and utilities or coretemp?

Reply to s14racing

My e6300 runs at around 62 on full load.
E6300 = 61.4c, Vcore max = 1.3525, TDP = 65w
Is the 61.4C the max teh processor should be able to take?
I have the stock cooling, so I guess I may need to look into some artic silver.
Just didnt think it would be a big deal with the cooler design.

I notice in your jpeg that the ACPI Thermal Zone is 0 degrees C.

Have you resolved that? Does anybody know how to fix this when it happens?

I'm running a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 (F10 Bios) with an E6600 in it under XP Pro and for the life of me can't figure out how to get this fixed. It looks as though ACPI isn't exposing this through a "Thermal Zone" variable. I get both CPU & system temp in bios, so I don't think the sensor is faulty.

thoughts?

Hi guys.

New to the forum.
I have a question or 2. I am running an Asus p5bdeluxe, 2x1gb kingston hyperX ddr2 800, thermaltake purepower 560 and just bought an x1950pro.

My prob is that when i got the ram i immediately oc'd to 2.8ghz via 400*7 at vcore of 1.4volts. Stable without any issues except that my machine is much slower. Especially in gaming and 3d benchmarks.

I have been reading and checking post and forums with no luck at all.

Reply to ak22

I'm having a TCase/Tjunction issue concerning TCase being reported higher than the TJunction. First, I'd like to determine which temps are being erroneously identifed. So, here's my situation:

Tcase = 37 (32 in BIOS upon restart) & 55 (up to 62 with TAT)
Tjunction = 32 & 50-55

Ambient = 20
Chipset = Nvidia 680i
C2D = e6400
CPU Cooler = Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 7/Ceramique
Frequency = OCed to 3.2 (linked/synced with 1600QDR)
Load = Orthos/TAT/OCCT/3DMark2006
Motherboard = EVGA
Vcore = 1.25

I'm wondering, of course, why my Tcase is higher than my Tjunction. Is my TJunction more likely to be being reported incorrectly than my TCase? That is, is it likely that my Tcase is correct, meaning my TJunction Idle/Load values are really more like 47/70-75. The Tjunction values reported above are consistent across TAT, CoreTemp, and SpeedFan. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Reply to jagatucci

Hello, i must say before i start asking questions, that u have invested a great deal of time and that im greatful that you have decided to share this knowlege to us here in the forums. Nice job on the guide, kudos!

OK, so from what i understood from the guide is that some software including Motherboards (in this case asus probe2 for me) reading utils may show inacurate temp results and that with the help of this guide you can fine tune the temps with the help of TAT and Speedfan. So in other words TAT tj is 97% acurate with the internal temps? and that with the use of the TEMP charts that u have handed, u can use this for a guide and finetune speedfan to get actual temp readings, right?

Ok, digested that, i have a p5b deluxe Rev c1 mobo and a 6300 c2d Rev L2. now i just want to double check something, I was using Asus Probe 2 to see if there where any -+ offsets so i can configure speedfan to acurate results so i got this readings:

IDLE:
TAT: Idle 43,
Probe2 cpu temp: Idle 39

LOAD:
TAT:Load 59
Probe2 cpu temp: 55

now from what i understood from the guide and looking at the chart is that if idle my tj temps from TAT are 43-45 then my proc Tc should be 30 range, then this means asus probe2 is 9 higher right? and at load if my temps from TAT are 59-63 then my proc Tc should be at 40-45 and not 55 like asus probe reported?

if this is true then i must adjust speedfan offsets (in speedfan i was getting from default instalation the same resutls as of probe 2 execpt that the core1/2 temp was far more lower than TAT readings..i was getting 27 idle) so yeah i adjusted the core tems to an ofset of +16 and gave the CPU temp an offset of -10. Now with these fine tunes i made i get a speedfan and tat reading:

IDLE
TAT:43
Speedfan CPU Tc: 30

LOAD
TAT:59
Speedfan CPU Tc: 46

now heres the real question ^^... im i doing this right? lol

thanks for youre time, and great guide!

Reply to xodius80

I get similar results as you... and I understand it to be that TAT is measuring directly from two diodes within the chip, and the mobo's sensor is positioned as to the heat is already transferring and losing energy before it is read on mobo sensors.
Also, the TAT program was programed for Meriom mobile chips, and states it is only intended to be used on like processors.
So it could be a design difference due to different voltages being read from C2D's diodes, within the formula to calculate the thermal coefficients which are causing such discrepancies.
