[AMD900*]

i have a 900 AMD t-bird and im running hardware sensor monitor version 4.0.3.3 pro but i dont know which is the temp for my processor it saids mobo 75.2* cpu1 95.0* cpu2 86.0* so what is the right temp and is it too high or ist ok also what is the highest temp it can take? i want to o/c and what would be a good heatsink ?


thanx

[wildbilly2k]

well i love my great sk6 with ystech 40cfm fan on it but what are your temps in celcius cause that is how most oc'ers work with

[AMD900*]

about 35c cpu1 and 30c cpu2

[wildbilly2k]

yeah my mobo gets 2 readings too but one says 0c
that is wierd so i think your fine just follow the high on
there and a good heat sink is termalright sk6 with a nice noisy fan on it!!!

Welcome to The Forums!

I agree that the 35c temp is probably your cpu temp.

If you know what mobo you have, you could post this in that forum, and you might be more likely to find someone else with the same board.

Here is another suggestion for you: try MotherBoardMonitor, you can find it here (http://www.overclockers.com/topiclist/index27.asp#UTILITIES)

There is also a wealth of information in the articles and Beginners' Guides over here! (http://www.overclockers.com)

MotherBoardMonitor shows up to 3 temps (that I know of) depending on your mobo's sensors, usually the lowest is the case temp, middle is mobo temp and the Hottest is cpu.

You can also usually confirm which temp is which (and which sensors you have) in bios: the temps are usually in there somewhere!

thanx

The (CPU1) is your processor temp, if you overclock you want to try to keep your temps under load below 45C....temps above 50C will shorten the CPU life and possible damage may occurr if you exceed that by much.

how do i ckech the load??

[Placid]

Run a program that gives the cpu 100% load until the temp stops going up.

Prime 95 will work ok.

[AMD900*]

is there any more??

Toast,cpu burn,folding,seti,burn6.
