Do temps normally jump so fast?

[Caeberos]

Okay I recently finished my watercooling system, and having a mobo that is not well equiped for overclocking i have pumped my FSB to 150mhz. and a v-core at 1.880v (that is knida high i realize) But anyway my question is why does my temp shoot up 9 degrees when i run prime95? and the moment i stop it it drops back 9 degrees, is that normal, or is somthing wrong with my mb's temp reporting?

What MOBO is it? Mobo's that read the on die sensor within the CPU do that, they jump very quick.

sry it is a gigabyte GA-7VRXP

Mine does that, a good 9-10c when I Fold

thanks guys i was just worried, seemed like a huge leap in a few secs.

That doesn't seem normal to me, mine only goes up a total of 5C. First jump is only 2 or 3C, then slowly creaps up till it is 5C over what it was idling at.

Its different for every system. It would be expected for a processor dissipating higher amounts of wattage, like a processor like yours with a large vCore increase to have greater differences between idle and load temps. 10°C sounds quite reasonable to me.

I should add my external radiator/shroud w/ 120 pulling, sits in front of a window A/C unit.

only at 1.8v vcore? i'm at 2.2v and topping out at 55 celcius... (2.5ghz barton)


and thats high?!?!?!

i am talking about a 1800+ and i am pretty sure the original voltage was 1.5v someone correct me if i am wrong, since i am new to overclocking, how high can i go :D?

My mobo can only go up to about 2.0v :(

welcome to amd, where our chips don't burn cause of SNDS or some weird voltage problem or whatever...

most of the amd chips will do 2.3v without any problems whatsoever, and most three phase boards will also do that too....

if you have a two phase, you're looking at maybe a max of 2.0v, and if you got a true four phase, then you're looking at maybe 2.5v....

amd's DO NOT die cause of voltage, they die cause of heat... so just watch ur temps and you should be fine... you're looking at a max tolerance of maybe 55-58 celcius for stability and maybe 120 celcius before it catches fire/dies/blows up/whatever/etc....

so you should be binge-ing till it blows and catches on fire (or maybe 55 celcius) and shooting for at least 2.5ghz....


edit: that DOES NOT mean go volt modding for a 3v vcore or feeding a direct 12v on there or something cause then it WOULD burn.... just be kinda careful... you might not even need anything that high either... but its there if you need it though... just to let you know....

that is awesome, that means i still have over 10 degree load play room, and my heater core fan isn't even on high!

Love those Rotron Major's :D

[fafnir]

remember though, you might also wanna go pin modding more "solid" voltage also... might get you higher... and a few re-seats of ur whitewater once you get it might also help too....

[Caeberos]

yea... i have been meaning to change that... well anyway, it would be a good idea to resteat my block a few times, maybe this winter, school is about to start and my parents think i am wasteing too much time on my computer :D. I might as well unlock the multiplier on my cpu at the same time.

Thanks

edit: what are you talking about? a core voltage of 12v sounds great!:beer:
