hey there, just a quick question. since this is my first a64 chip im a little concerned about my temps. i've got my 3200+ skt 754 mildly oc'd to 2417mhz right now. this is using 1.55v. i idle around 35 degrees, but it get's up to about 65 when i load the chip up with prime 95 and games. now to me that seems a little high. im using a zalman 7700cnps-alcu cooler and my case temps virtually never read above 30 degrees since my system is in my cool basement. any comments?

how are my cpu temps?

Don't know about your volts as you can see I don't have a a64 and know much about them, what you can do to lower your temps is to get as5 on the cpu if you haven't cone so, organize your wires inside the case, and check to see if dust is obstructing airflow thru the hs.

Yea I do. Ive got an AV8 and its innaccurate as hell. On uGuru EQ do you have a PWM temp measure? If so THAT is your true CPU temp becuase it is taken from the socket and not the on-die.Shuzzy said:
Their sensers are notoriously higher than actual. This holds true for any Abit.

maybe my zalman cooler is not making good contact with the cpu or somehow the as5 was'nt applied right or got all messed up when i was screwing on the cooler.
do you apply as5 the same way to a a64 as you do to a pentium? i know you spread it on a regular athlon. what about an a64?

I personally doubt you put AS5 on wrong... BUT, it is possible the heatsink isnt sitting right. I think the 60+C is a little high. I am personally now getting about 30C idle, 45C MAX load. I have a 3200 Winnie with a XP120.

Lol, you spoiled Athlon 64 people with a high temp being ~60C.

P.S. 2.8E o/c'd to 3.6 dual F@H 24/7 stable --- 79C.

That is not OK man - 79 celsius.....holy shatsamuraisam said:
Back to the topic at hand - mobo temps are notoriously CRAP. Take my ABIT for instance, I recently flashed to the newest BIOS and one of the changes was "re-calibrate temp sensor"..........it dropped my CPU temp like 10 friggin degrees C. What Im trying to say is they program the damn thing at thier best guess and sometimes (read most) they are wrong. Sometimes more wrong then others.
Get a external temp probe and forget about the onboard sensor. Also I understand the Zalman is a great product but its primarily for noise reduction.....you may get better performance from another cooler as well. Not sure as Im not AMD man.......
My prescott (and they run hot as hell) runs 47 degrees full load (two copies of FAH running while 3dmark05 for 2 hours straight) with my ThermalRight XP120 and PanaFlo fan. Its unaudible over my PSU but my system isnt about quiet either.
Before that on stock I was running about 68 to 72 (but never no crazy *** 79).......

I would also would like a good answer as to how to attach external temp sensors to various devices. Where to put them, what to adhere them with...etc.

BTW Shuzzy you might want to try using cpu-z to get actual voltage info etc. I know that on my gigabyte mobo the cpu voltage is set to normal which is around 1.5v and acording to cpu-z the chip is actually pulling 1.6v

Thats incredibly high. My load at 2.52 only gets up to about 48°C.
