amdxp2000+ cpu temp help =(

Zigma · Jul 26, 2002

my friend has a amdxp (note topic) and a thermaltake volcano 7 heatsink and his temp is temp is 67-70C is that ok?

JSealy00 · Jul 26, 2002

that is quite high.....perhaps more specs.....

Zigma · Jul 26, 2002

we monitor the temp in the bios.. some dude runs seti@home at that temp. i dunno what else i can say, with the dragonorb it was at 68all the time....=(

How are you acquiring these cpu temps? Are you getting them from the sensor on the mobo or other? That really impacts how true the readings are that you're getting. We need to know a little more about what you're dealing with basically. What mobo, how the temps are being read, etc... Some mobo's don't read the temps very accurately. But those temps are really high.

Edit: Btw, is he by chance using a thermal pad or silver thermal grease? If he's using the pad or not using anything then that would explain it. I would recommend that he laps the heat sink to a almost mirror finish, and reapplying with some arctic silver 3.

Those temps are high....

but if you believe AMD (http://139.95.253.213/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=67,E=0000000000024173602,K=2988,Sxi=0,Case=obj(3737)) then you think that 90 deg C is the limit..

har har har...

Standard questions:
are you using thermal goop? (preferably asII or asIII)
is the heatsink clamped down correctly and tight?
was the heatsink base perfectly flat?
what mobo are you using?

he said in bios

but tweaked is right, every motherboard gives different temps, but regardless of the motherboard, that sounds really high.

what kind of thermal paste are you using, is it possible you might have chipped the core a small amount when you mounted the heatsink?

JSealy00 · Jul 26, 2002

bah. i quit.

eh? · Jul 26, 2002

those temps are way to high i never let my cpus go over 45c, try to reapply the thermal paste and make sure you have the heatsink on correctly, and if that fails then you might wanna looking another heatsink. BTW welcome to the forums

no luck, we tried all of the suggestion you guys said. we just popped the orb back in =( 60C ShaZboT. we used thermal greese (cheep stuff i belive) i dunno... but if its running ok then let it be.

I was having a problem with my Volcano 7+ with a p4. The onboard temp on the p4 was reading 71 on full load with asIII. I couln't work out wat was wrong. I then put the stock heatsink on and my temps dropped to 40C at full load and 35 at idle. I dunno why such a good heatsink is giving me such high temps, but anyway.

are you saying you used thermal grease both times, or just when you put the orb back on?

you never said what model mobo you were using either
