Athlon Low!!!!!! Temps?

[RAID-UA]

well im new to O/C ing and i have a 800 athlon with a ABIT KT7-RAID and i clocked it today to a great 1000mhz after bridging the L1's.

what software do u guys use to test CPU TEMP?

I use SISOFT 2001 and 800@1000 says that cpu is 23 celcius thats awesome isnt it?

Also what is the max u should let ur cpu get to?

BIOS TEMP CHECKS ARE WRONG ARN'T THEY!!!???????

Motherboard Monitor 5 (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) To measure temps, Fan rpm's, ect... And to find out your load temp you can use folding@home, Prime95(will also test stability).
All temp readings can be wrong. Oh welcome to the forums:D

That MM5 is the losyiest piece of **** out!!!!!

Thanks for the welcome :)

ne other progs

and wat is the GOOD CPU TEMP AND IS MINE RIDICULOUS????

Welcome to our little slice of home. :)

I don't trust Sandra to give accurate temps...I think it looks at the wrong sensors or something. Any temp that you're getting is looking at you BIOS temp, anyway, so I don't really see where getting a program would help alleviate that problem.

i have an abit kt7a and it came with a driver disk that had the VIA hardware monitor on it which is what i use to measure my temps. your mobo should have come with something similar (being abit and all)...if not you should still be able to find it somewhere

theres a program called Vcool that will tell you your temps

ud better take that back.. mbm5.1 is the best thing that came to overclocking (well myabe 2nd or 3rd) but i didnt like it at first either, only cuz i didnt understand how to use it. im kinda ****y when it comes down to that.. usualy i wont do something unless its easy or if ill know how to do it.

under the cpu socket should be a thermosistor, pus it up so it toughes the bottem of the cpu

[tacobell]

48-53c is too high for idle temp using a tbird 1.2? (Bios temps)

I have 1 80mm fan in the front and 1 in the back.. the one in the back is functioning as an exhauster.. plus the psu fan..

Using a Volcano 6cu..

woah, this board "*" a word that isnt even bad :rolleyes:

I think the best Hardware monitoring software out there right now is Hmonitor. It allows u to do all the basics, specify Celcius or farenheight but also has built in software cooling and voltage regulations, system tray icons and all sorts of neat stuffs. I didnt like MBM 5 but Hmonitor was small easy functional and practical.
