Default VCore 1.825V?

[titan18]

I tried something new today: running my system at the recommended frequency. No OC-ing. The T-Bird requires a 1.7V VCore. When I leave the VCore setting to "default" on the bios, the Vcore is 1.825V The CPU temp is 51degC. Too high perhaps?

yep

Temp is a bit high.
depending on your chip code
Example
A0850APT3B...850MHz...P=1.7 Volts..
S=1.5 volts
U=1.6 volts
P=1.7 volts
M=1.75 volts
N=1.8 volts

Thanks a million trancebear!

What I was saying is, should I throw out the HSF now. I am still using the Taisol HSF that came together with the CPU chip. What would be the difference? When I ran the CPU at 100MhzX10 (1000Mhz), the CPU temp was 65degC.

It really does depend on what you are emasuring your temperature with. I use a thermal probe and The highest temps I actually have had with any cooler I've used at any voltage is still less than 50°C.

I suspect that you may have a not substantial method of checking your temperature or perhaps a bad thermal interface between cooler and cpu die.

If I lower the VCore, will the temp stay the same? Will it affect the CPU running normally?

lower you Vc would lower your chip temp but not much, go by the smallest increment your MB can support and test each at full load to verify stability. I'm running [email protected] with the Vc [email protected] and dropped approx. 2 C
