Title changed from

"Too many of you are too worried about CPU temperatures!"

to

"Info regarding high temperatures, causes/solutions, and reading from the CPU diode"

by @mdOCer's request. -- macklin01

Thanks a bunch macklin01!

I felt like changing the title thanks to the input from a fellow forum member that made me realize how that previous title sounded kind of arrogant.
 
Im real glad that this thread is easy to find as by now i think i've refered
around fifty to a hundred people from all over the place who are real worried
about their temparatures that are usualy in the mid/high 40's & 50's.

Nice work and also, BOOKMARKED!

Thanks. This probably could use some updating as cores have changed and the Maximum Casing Temperatures (I think Tcasemax) are slightly lower now.

From the AMD64 technical documentation:

All 754 and 939 ending in EP4AW, Max case temperature is 70C.

All 939, ending in EP5AS, Max case temperature is 65C (excepting ADA4000, which is 70C).

AMD has not yet put in information for the dual core units.

Posting and you? what?
Never mind, outside joke attempted to come inside.
 
Well, I got a ASRock K7-NF2-Raid, which is an Nforce2 Ultra based board,

I can't read the on Die Diode, although I have an Athlon-XP-M, barton based...
:(

any suggestions (the board is not in the MBM5 list, but I tried to select several other boards with no success...)

regards
