Duron 700 and A7Pro question.

[MAIA]

I have my Duron 700 running at 900 (8.5x106) 1.75v. My iddle temp is 41ºC and after running 30 Sandra Burn in rounds (Only Cpu and CPU Multimedia benchs enable) it stays at 47ºC. Do you think this temperature is OK?
Another 2 questions goes to AsusProbe.
1- Why when i set voltage jumpers to 1.75v (as it is in the manual) AsusProbe says i'm in the 1.80 range, why'ta hell?
2- I have my 3.3v treshold set to 10%, sometimes it says i'm going up to 3.6v and the line becomes red but it imediatly goes yellow, is there any problem if i leave things running this way?

Many thanks in advance, you guys are great!!! :)

Cheers,

47C is ok - it could be cooler, but you're a long way away from damaging the cpu, just don't let it get much higher (stop once you reach 50, or get better cooling). That extra voltage you're seeing is normal for the A7v, it's apparently due to the 3.3v line being set to 3.54, and as the core voltage is achieved by cutting this down to the 1.5-2 volt region, the core voltage is raised too. This is great, because it means the A7V's voltage maxes out at about 1.94V, whereas other boards only go to 1.85. This also explains why you're seeing the high values for the 3.3V in asus probe - 3.6 won't damage your components, I wouldn't worry about it.

You should be able to raise the voltage to 1.85 (which as I've explained will be a little over 1.9V) and take it to the gig. You might even not need 1.9V. Just remember to keep an eye on those temps :-)
