Un Normal temps

[wildbilly2k]

Ok i finaly got around to fixing my sk-6 and i through it on my athlon xp 1900+ and when i first bootes here is the tempature it gave me. Does anyone else some times get a higher case tempature than a cpu tempature

[windyridge]

the temps look ok for a program they might be 5 +/-

I get the same thing with my 1800/msi mobo. But it runs rock stable, and I've double checked case temp with two thermometers: an indoor/outdoor and an infrared. Both were +- 1c at most.

So I think its just a sensor calibration or something. Either way, I am not worried about it since it is stable- I just watch for variations.

yeah it just seemed wierd since it usually over by about 4 or 5 degrees but i have this huge heat sink and fan on it and it isnt like my tbird 1200 so i guess ill be fine cause it is rock stable

It would be easier to be scientific if we knew what HSF you're using. With that number you would have to have a very cold anbient temp with a very low c/w HSFcombo. That is not a realistic air cooling temp. It is at least 8 to 10C too low and thats being real conservative.

my XP1600 is overclocked and now my bios says its a xp1800+....
and the temps are like 100-115 is that hot?

PC alert is VERY accurate. I have done massive testing to make sure.

My Athlon 1100 @ 1166 does 43C - rock stable. Case temp 33C

[wildbilly2k]

in bios too and every where my temp stay around 36c cpu and 37c shassis and on load my cdpu is at 40c and case temapture is around 38c. I am using thermal right sk6 with a ystech 40cfm fan on it!!!!

As I type:
XP 1800- 1.533@1725 33c case and 34c cpu under load (Seti@Home)

Always within 1 or 2 degrees, one way or the other.

ThermoEngine (CHEAPO) heatsink with 7000 rpm Delta. Case closed.
