cpu diode???

wtf is this and what are normal temps for it, i have my 2500 clocked to a 3200 right now about 2.2 gigs, everything is running fine, voltages is at 1.85, but what is cpu diode, says the temp on it is 116 degrees celcius????

Cpu Diod is the internal thing in the cpu that tells u the cpu temperature.

116f is about 43-44c, youre fine.

he said 116c though
he may be burning his socket

if thats really celcius Id say something isnt right!

Yeah, if that is C, it's way off. I don't think that Athlon XPs like to be hotter than boiling water... You're doide is messed up.

its a regular barton, it would have melted @ 95'C. He meant F or reporting is waaay of.

i guess the program is messed up cause it said C... oh well its still runnin so i guess nothigns too wrong

not all motherboards can read off the CPU diode. That is why you might be getting crazy temps.
what program are you using? If its MBM5 look at the website for what sensors to choose for your motherboard to get the correct readings.
CPU Diode is a special diode that is placed somewhere inside the core, and supplies a certain voltage level depending on temperature, if measured correctly that voltage will represent a dead on accurate temp monitoring system, or overheating protection as it is very fast. Many motherboards use the thermal diode to protect your CPU from thermal damange. only some motherboards can actually read the temprature from that diode.

If that is degrees C, he has burned his socket

Bartons are specified for thermal failure at <85C.
