Hi
Finally decided to try AMD. Just built 1ghz Tbird on A7V, and I love it, no probs at all.
Although I do just wanna check my temps with yous guys.
I remember Mikewarrior2 say in a thread that some newer A7V bios 'compensate' for inaccurate thermo readings. Any idea which ones ?
I have a fairly new bios - 1005b - but wasnt sure if it was just 1004's that did that ??
OK, my temps:
Im using basic Cooler Master HSF - DP5-6H51 (removed pad and using arctic silver)
Idle temp about 45-47c and underload max 52c
MB temp reported at 26-28c (not sure if this is case temp or not tho ?)
Room temp 19-20c
Case cooling I have Enermax psu with its 9cm fam pulling air right off of cpu and another 8cm case fan pulling out about level with cpu.
Now, bearing in mind bios, do these temps sound reasonable ?
I would go for better HSF but noise is orimary concern.
Thanks for any input.
