newcastle temps

[angryswede]

i just put together a budget 754 solution yesterday and i am OCing just slightly so far. my vcore is only 4% over stock at around 1.52. On my newcastle I am idling around 42C and the load temps were around 55C while running prime95. just now however smartguardian reported it at 60 degrees and that seems high to me. i was wondering what my temps should look like and how accurate these measurement tools are. also the room temp here is about 70 75ish.

EDIT: stock HSF by the way

I get the same thing. Stay under 60c and you are safe. Try bumping up fsb without raising volts. You should be able to get that proc up to about 2400mhz. After that you will need more volts and better cooling.

i do stock vcore 2.41ghz 35-36*c idle 45-49* load.

If you are using the stock bios for your board, it is reporting temps about 10 degrees too high.

anyone know the margin of error on smartguardian?

You should update the mobo bios, your temps should drop a bit. Anyway, software temps are inaccurate and vary from board to board, even with same manufacturer, same board.

P95 will fail if your proc gets to hot. Use P95 to gauge temps. If you can pass P95 for 24 hours, I would say temps are fine.

I bumped up my sempron 3100 @ 230 fsb. Giving out 2.069 Ghz. My temps in a nice cool day is 35 idle, and 48 load. On a really warm day, usually it is 39c, and 55-56 load. It gets pretty noisy, especially with a stock fan So far, my baby is going well. Anything under 60 c for me is fine, always to have really good ventilation at the same time (handle that already =D )

Newcastle temps on this board is way off,not 10c more like 15-20c too high.

I get full load test 60c + seen as high as 72c , it idle with cool & quiet with heatsink COLD to the touch it still reads 43c so the temps on this board are WAYYYY off.

So dont worry about your temps unless you see 80c with a newscastle on this board. (DFI LanParty nF3 250gb )

 

[angryswede]

wow i didnt know they could be off by that much. i just saw smartguardian hit 60 occasioanally in P95 and i was getting worried because i m still at stock voltage which surprised me because my case has good airflow.

touch your heatsink,if it was really 60c then you would burn your fngers on it.

I bet you 20$ it's cool to the touch at idle as should be.

My 3400 is running 2.6Ghz with a 42c temp running Folding for hours, idle it drops to the low 30's with my water setup. You can get a lot more out of the NewCastles with water cooling, no doubt about it.

 

[rhk0327]

I don't about the new newcastles, but temp misreadings is a common problem with the old 2800+[what i got]. People found it reading 20c too high sometiems. I'm like 42 idle 60 load. Sometimes, I read my like 46 cpu, 45 case temps with my case OPEN and tilted upwards.

I'm using DFI Lan Party nF3 250Gb and AMD64 2800+ (newcastle). I have the same problem as angryswede. The bios upgrade will help for sure?

Temperature is:

Idle: 42-43 C
Stress: ~50 C

I touched heatsink and it's not hot. I've got Zalman 7000Al and Artic Ceramique. Before I had read this topic I thought that my termopast is wrong put on procesor. On DFI homepage there'is nothing about improving temperature reading: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/...CATEGORY_TYPE=MB&STATUS_FLAG=A&SITE=US

So.. Upgrade will help for sure?

Thanks for help.

the 3/10 bios reports my temps more accurately than the factory-installed bios.; ~26C idle, ~43C load. assuming the HSF is seated correctly, the fan hasn't failed, you only used a tiny amount of thermal paste (didn't spread it over entire heatspreader), have decent case cooling AND you're prime stable, then i wouldn't worry about temps too much.

 

[danrok]

Heh, ok, ok. Prime is stable, but I'm just asking. I just want to know what is my real cpu temperature. Do you know if upgrade bios will help me with this?


EDIT: I've just upgraded bios. Temperature is in idle 31C and in stress about 40. Thanks!
