Duron Temps a Bit High

[Dunga Bee]

I got the Duron in my sig up and running and everything is good, BUT (always a 'but'), it seems the temps are a bit high.

I have no idea what the idle temp is but the load is 55 and occasionally touches 56 (Load is from Folding). Yeeeooow.

I have one intake fan, 1 exhaust, plus the PSU fan blowing out. Taking the case sides off drops it maybe a degree, but not much more.

I had that Volcano 6Cu on my T-Bird before I got my Glaciator2 and it would be around 51 load. I used ASII to put the Volcano on. I did scratch the base a bit when scraping off the original goop from the HSF, but not too much.

Does the extra voltage from me closing the L7s raise the Duron temp that much ?

Anyone else have temps to compare to mine (hopefully with a similar, slightly above average HSF). ?

Thanks,
DB

my volt. is at 1.85 (1.87 in sandra) and it crunching happily at 42c, I just changed to a 39cfm 80mm fan (used the delta 38 with the 7v mod. and load at 45c)and I only use 1 case fan + ps fan(a 80mm blowing out)
Guess because of your hs the temp a little high.

Oh no, it's not your hs, it's because you got 27 mhz more than mine:mad: that's why your temp is so high:D

why did you close the L7's?

yes it will sense now you have to despence more heat

maybe try lapping,reseating(make sure it has good contact) and maybe buying a better cpu fan

no need to close the L7's did you do it with a pensil? if so erase it

what does mbm read for the Vcore?

I noticed a substantial temperature rise (11F/6C) when I bridged the L7s. The odd thing was that I was already running at 1.75 via the BIOS before I bridged them. I didn't notice a dramatic change in temps when I changed voltages in the BIOS, only when I did the bridging. So now I'm searching for a fan upgrade. :)

I thought connect the L7 bridge to get more voltage to help your comp post when you oc, and the voltage in the bios only kick in when you already post. :confused: might be wrong

wow you learn something new everyday


I would still get better cooling before you overclock though

You are correct, but I didn't know that fact originally. Initially I tried to OC by raising the vcore in the BIOS. Using that method I wasn't able to POST beyond about 940 mhz. Then someone suggested I connect the L7s. After that I was immediately able to post above 1gig, and run stably at 975. However, the temperature rise upon connecting the L7s was more than I expected.
