Yellowbeard Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 15/16 is realistic. Perhaps, but 3c - 9c is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Mine is only like a 10c difference.This is idle and playing cod4 for an hour.And far left temp is because im still in cod4 typing this.:biggrin: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5363/codtemps.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I understand what you guys are saying. I'm not disputing what you are seeing on your screens. My point is, from idle temps to full 100% load on 4 cores for a 125w CPU, you are going to have more than a 3c to 10c change in overall temps. I don't care what the software says. You cannot defy physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytech22 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I understand you clearly Yellowbeard, i know that the temperatures will definately swing much more. I will run Prime95 for one hour with room temp at 31C (Australian weather ftl..) and will report back here if my PSU makes it in these temp's :D.

SeanG Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Here is about a 15 minutes of running prime in stress test.It doesnt really get any higher.And my cpu is 125 watts too. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8730/prime1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytech22 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well here is my Prime95 benchmark temps, i started running it before posting my last post. NOTE: Room temp is 31.6C and stayed 31.6C the entire time. And yes it was run for one hour. http://fgclansite.zoomshare.com/files/updated.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well I think theres something wrong with either your cpu senser or your motherboard senser,because theres noway it will only go up 3c running prime95.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonDa5 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well I think theres something wrong with either your cpu senser or your motherboard senser,because theres noway it will only go up 3c running prime95.:confused: I agree. Any problems with your system in general? Can you show all your core temps? I see core 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 1. a phenom 2 only has 1 temp sensor, hence core# 0 is fixed and there are not 3 others to show. 2. if i load core temp while prime 95 is running it will only record the lowest/highest temps from the point that i opened core temp. 3. while y'all may be right, lets get a few questions answered first before scaring the poor guy for no reason, ya?

Didn't know that. I have never used a AMD cpu. Thanks. 2. Open up core temp when your cpu has no load and then start Prime95 to measure load temps.

campbelln97 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 sorry mate, i understand point 2, i was just making clear its a qustion that needs to be asked before assuming that the low temp displayed is idle or not, therefore we dont know if it only increased by 3 degs from idle. sorry for not being clear about that. i find that its best to let it run idle for 10 mins or so to make sure it has settled to true idle temps.

joytech22 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sorry guys i started coretemp late, but the idle temp lowest was actually 37C low, i had speedfan running as soon as i booted up. I guess these temps are really what i should be getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 yeah 37-50 is about spot on, now time for you to overclock it, right? :P u got another 12 before it starts getting damaged, im not going higher than 55-ish is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytech22 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hmm, i know i have a BE phenom, but i have only ever overclocked once, my first pc, AMD Sempron +3400 from 1.8GHz to 2.0GHz.. I never damaged it, or had stability problems, but i dont really like the idea of overclocking. I might try to overclock it once i get a decent PSU (most likely from corsair!) so i can plug in the additional CPU power thing.. or is that for 140W only.. Well thanks everybody i feel much more confident with my brand new Corsair H50 cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 ok, ur not sure about overclocking, if you change ur mind then here is a guide that i found useful: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1327003 as for the 4pin 8 pin... i found this discussion informative: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-264573_10_0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytech22 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks for the links, i'll check them out now, as for this thread it would be best to let it die now, thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havox Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I idle at 45 with my i7 with a TRUE Black. Terrible temps especially at stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Meh, I'll see your 45 and raise you an idle (e.g. web surfing) 56C with my TRUE Black :) I use my PC to heat up sammiches :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
