srtdodge05 · 12-20-05, 09:30 PM

Ive been playing around with my x2 4200+ and my temps seem a lot higher then other peoples. i got it running at 2.6ghz 1.5v running dual prime i get a max of 122f. Do my temps seem high?

Rattle · 12-20-05, 09:32 PM

thats 50C

not to bad try and get them lower, use that as max

srtdodge05 · 12-20-05, 09:35 PM

Would help if you told us what kind of cooling you have.

Thermaltake Big Typhoon fan for cpu. i have a 120mm in back, 2 80mm in front and a 80mm on the side.

what TIM are you using ?

if the big typhoon is on correctly with AS5 or other good TIM you should be sitting around 30C idle give or take a couple degress....

i took the IHS off my cpu and that didnt help at all.

As Rattle just said, what kind of TIM/Thermal Paste are you using? The lack of TIM or crap quality will cause some pretty bad temps.

srtdodge05 · 12-21-05, 04:20 PM

im using artic silver 5.

Rattle · 12-21-05, 05:06 PM

OK what motherboard are you using and what are you using to check temps ?

srtdodge05 · 12-21-05, 05:14 PM

Giga-Byte GA-K8NSNXP-939, im using speedfan for temps also used the one that giga-byte uses.

Not a big deal really but I would start quoting your temps in Celcius... Even us American guys are more used to celcius when it comes to cpu temps.

I just updated my bios on d 830 and it fell over 20 degree C to the high 30s/low 40s (jumped about 5+ degrees with the heater on). My mobo temps rose about 10 degrees. Maybe next bios update will fix it.

My Big Typhoon just arrived. I was wondering about how much Arctic Silver 5 to use. I noticed that the BT uses alot for there thermal compound in this installation (covers the CPU) vs. the little used for AS5.
