Hi
This is my first post here I've already seen some familiar names from some other forums I frequent.
Anyway...I picked up an Abit BD7II with a P4 1.6A. I did the Wire Mod on the P4, and I threw on a thin coat of ASIII before installing my Alpha PAL8942 (Thermaltake Thermal fan).
I would like to know what average temps of a 1.6A are at Default Vcore after the Wire mod.
I have my FSB set at 132, fixed PCI 33mhz, 3/4 ratio. It equals out to 21xxMhz. (I'm writing this from work). My idle temps are at 47C, and after 8 hours of Prime95, 55C.
I have read numerous posts here and elsewhere about Abit motherboards not displaying Temps/Voltages correctly. At Default Vcore, I get 1.61-1.65v.
What is odd is that If I touch the heatsink, it is cool to the touch. maybe a little warm, but hardly noticeable. When my AthlonXP2000 was at 55C, my Thermalright AX-7 would be hot to the touch.
--One quick note...I have two AMD boards, an Abit AT7 and an MSI K7T266Pro2-RU. At default speeds, same processor, same heatsink/fan...the AT7 was at 43/49C, and the MSI would read 37C/44C. Odd.
I have the Fan blowing onto the heatsink. Also the Thermal fan is a variable speed fan with a temp sensor. Possibly this may be an issue also. When I touch the temp sensor with two fingers and wait a bit, the fan speed does increase. I have a spare Mechatronics 80mm 53CFM fan I'm going to try tonight.
Cheers
