P3 933 Temps and Measurement questions

[leeber303]

Hey guys I just put a Alpha P3125 on my P3 933 OCed to 1037 and my reported temps via the bios indicator is 30C. I'm using no-brand termal compound that came with the HSF. My question is if this is satisfactory and what other steps can I take to get a better measurement of my cooling. Also, what is the most accurate method in measuring temps without using a thermal probe (little wary of using those, too many horror stories). Lastly, if anyone knows what the temperature should be on a OEM 933 with stock HSF.

Thanks,
Lee

What Slotket are you using?

What's your full load reading in windows? Use MBM or (PCProbe...) and can you let us know your loaded cpu temps? As long as you're readnig internal diode temps(your MB is capable of it, need to know your slotket), it is far more accurate since you're reading temps off a diode built in to the cpu core.

And what is your ambient room/case temps?

I'm using an Asus P3V4X Slot 1 board... I'll run the PC Probe Utl. tonight and post the load temperatures.

Are you using a Generic or Brand-Name Slotket?
