amd overheats?

Nope, if you dont overclock the stock hsf is perfectly quiet and perfectly adequate.


ANything else is FUD bs.

:wink: The Cash Left In My Pocket,The BEST Benchmark :wink:

the reatil fan are adequate enough if you are not overclocking, but you should also keep your case temp as low as possible

this is true. also, even if you're not overclocking you need to watch your temps and depending on where you live, it can contribute to your pc's overall temps.

AMD cpus are notorious overheaters you can't shake this rep, this is a fact no matter what matisaro or amd_man or eden or any mongrel says(these ppl live in Canada or the upper NW go figure).

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"

That's odd, considering that my .13 NW ran hotter at stock speeds than my .18 Tbird ever did, even OCed. And I've got a much better heatsink on the NW than on my Tbird.

Much of this is due to a difference in where the temperature is measured. The P4's temp is measured on die, whereas the Athlon's is measured at the socket except with the latest Athlon mobos that use the Palomino's thermal diode. Obviously the P4 will generally show a higher temp in this situation.

Anything other than on-die measurement is quite meaningless as an empirical value, but the socket temp can still be used to gauge proximity to instability. For example, 60°C *at the socket* is generally considered "too hot" for an Athlon and will usually result in a reboot when running an extremely stressful application like CPUBURN. But 60°C at the socket usually means well over 100°C at the core.

There's where your reasoning is flawed. At 100C, the Athlon would be destroyed. You seem to forget that the thermal sensors under the CPU calibrate for the space between the sensor the CPU core. The accuracy of this calibration, however, is questionable. Asus seems to always overestimate the temp of the CPU, for example.

Meltdung is the biggest troll this forum has.

Athlon processors run just fine with the stock HSF. If you use arctic silver you can even overclock with it. I have a 1700+ (1466MHz) running as a 2000+ (1666MHz) with the stock HSF and Arctic Silver II, no problem. If you do heavy OCing, though, I do recommend the Volcano 6cu ($13). Steer clear of the "6cu+"; it is extremely loud. The 6cu is not noticably louder than the stock, but cools about 7 degrees C better.

Pentium 4 processors actually run hotter than Athlons (and require much larger HSFs).

I thought a thought, but the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I had thought.

If you are not OCing its fine. I have a 1400 Tbird (the hottest Athlon based chip made, the new XPs are much cooler) and the retail HSF along with 4 10000 RPM drives and the case is cool, the chip is cool (50 max), and its perfectly stable......

Jesus saves, but Mario scores!!!

Yes, it would be destroyed, if it wasn't for the reboot.  

What happens if doesn't reboot? The abundance of Athlon keychains should make that point clear to ya.

Ritesh

what's your specs again? and where is the placement of your system: desk or floor? I'll tell you where you went wrong.

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"

Hmmm, I ran my Athlon at 60c (overclocked with the retail HSF) for 1 month and there's not even a scorch mark on it. You may notice that my first post was about my system being unstable due to the temp, but a couple of days later, I realized that I had bad RAM adn there was nothing with the CPU. As a side note, according to Sandra or MBM, my CPU runs at 24C. According to VIA HM, it runs at 38C.

On the floor, but with 4 case fans, two PSU fans and an aluminum case.

Did I mention that with my Tbird I only had on case fan, one PSU fan and a smaller, steel case?

Well, the 24°C is probably the socket temperature. The 38°C could be the calibrated guess you're talking about, which in your case is apparently 14° higher than the socket. Or it may be more, who knows? But my point is, that when running an extremely intensive application like CPUBURN, the core temperature may be rising at a much faster rate than the socket, so that when the socket reports 60°C the CPU may be around 100°C or more when it reboots. Chips can usually survive such high temperatures for fractions of a second.

When I was overclocking my P3 to its limits, I would get around 95-100°C before the reboot. In actuality it was probably much higher than that for a fraction of a second. This was core temperature. Now I've backed off for the sake of stability.  

Well, you're right, of course.

Man now it's 3 times Melty's really been proved wrong today in big hits!
I dunno how will he respond to that, he simply will try to make up more FUD.
And btw Melty, stop stereotyping us Canadians you jerk, it's not cuz it's "up here" that it's necessarily cold. It was over 27º in Hull Québec, the cold southern province, and last I heard, the only places very icy would be the northern territories as well as the north of Québec such as Rouyn Noranda. So please stop your stereotyping, because soon you are going to become a racist to me, and I do mean it.

lol, a U.S. person racist against Canada, we're practically the same country! 95% of our political, economical and social beliefs are similar.

Stereotyping Canada as a cold barren country is like stereotyping U.S. citizens as evil and arrogant (as Kennyshin said, lol).

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

No not implying all US, that I would never say! I love US, but Meltdown is so annoying, his stereotyping sounds easily like racism, since he also disregards us Canadians because he thinks we live in a cold country and are not trustable in system temperature reporting... so in a way he is seperating us from the society just cuz we live in a so called Cold country, which to my book, is pretty racist.

4 casefans!
good god!
im suprised your sticks of ram havnt been sucked right out their sockets! :wink:

seriously though, try turning off the front fans. if the rear fans are of any strength then case flowthru will still be quite acceptable.

They're low-speed ADDA fans. Not much airflow. The ones that come with the PC7.

<font color=blue>If you don't buy Windows, then the terrorists have already won!</font color=blue> - Microsoft

hmmmm. well in my case i started with 2 thermaltake 2900rpm units (37cfm's).
now, i removed the front one alltogether due to noise, and the rear one is attached to the same rheostat that controls the cpu fan, and the rheostat is at minimum unless its really hot, so the sole casefan is probably only doing 1900-2000rpm, and the temps are very similar to what i had in the beginning. maybe 1-2C gain for ALOT of noise reduction.

also, ive taped up some of the passive holes at the back. so if one puts one hand up against the front intake you can still significantly feel the draw effects of the rear fan and psu fan.



My tech advice here is not free. Email your credit card detials to mynic@hotmail.com :smile: :wink:

6 fans? you have too many fans that recycle the hot air, two psu fans and a front fan would be enough to blow out the hot air.

make sure you tuck in the cables or get rounded ones but you know this already right?

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"

Why should that matter? I didn't have rounded cables with my Tbird system.

And yes, I've tried it with fewer fans and it didn't help.

well all I can tell you is to check your thermal paste and the hsf contact, if it matters at all.

heck, you probably know this already but you're just trying to discredit me to make the mongrels happy.

anyway good luck with your sys.

This is so funny, the guy is still trying to help you, as if he knows so much...I mean after all, you're the one with the 800MHZ overclocked system not him!

Not sure about the retail HSF, but a cheap-ass GlobalWin FOP32 works great here in Texas, even in the 110-degree summers. I've installed temp-monitoring software to perform auto shutdown if things get too hot, but that's never happened except when I unplug the fan header.


I suppose that if anyone claims to have a problem-free AMD system, you assume they're full of BS?

LoLoL...if FatBurger makes a claim, it's 99% certain the claim is correct. As it is, there's no point trying to discredit "the mighty AmdMeltdown;" you do that on your own without any of our help. :tongue:

Getting back to your point, shmeggegie, I have an AMD T-bird 1.2GHz @ 1.4GHz (multiplier OC only) using the HSF that comes with the retail package. Granted, I don't get the greatest temps, but when my room temp <i>isn't</i> 30C(damn dorms with no A/C and a 31C/90F day in Minnesota in April, of all months!), my CPU will run around 51C idle, 55C load. This is MBM getting info from a temp probe on a Asus A7A266, so the temps could be as much as +/-5C, if what I've heard is correct. So yes, the retail HSF is more than adequete.

-SammyBoy

and thank god for them overestimating. I'd gladly accept the innaccuracy to know for sure that my hardware wasn't about to sizzle off this mortal coil.

hey, by the way, if anyone can tell me, where IS this "Fatburger Challenge" I keep hearing about? I checked all the forums (I used the search engine with the "all forums" option, I don't know how thorough that really is.) and didn't find any original challenge, so I don't really understand.

sorry, pal, that doesn't go to you, even if you are canadian. That goes to a bunch of very dedicated and talented japanese individuals.

Meltdown, you dont need fatburger or anyones help to discredit you, you do a bang up job of that yourself.

Dude, I live in the desert of Arizona with no air conditioning (swamp cooler instead). It gets hot here. No overheating problems with my Athlon XP.

If you like Intel, great. But stop spreading FUD about AMD, especially since you've probably never used an AMD system in your life.

No, I'm trying to disprove the myth that Athlons run way hotter than P4s. I'm completely happy with my P4 system, eveyone knows that. But it does run hotter than my AMD setup did.
