AMD Power Monitor Version 1.2.0 - AMD Site Corrupt
"pc" wrote in message ... If any of 'yall could email me AMD Power Monitor Version 1.2.0, or an uplink to same, I'd appreciate it. The AMD site http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9033,00.html is a wee bit hosed. tanks pc Hi, I am not sure what you are expecting from that download but I think it is pretty mcuh a waste of time, windows task manager shows you the CPU usage and the other stuff CPU freq and voltage, well they are pretty much fixed, well you would not want to monitor them, these are things you set (if possible), 'monitoring them' will be akin to watching paint dry, without the fun :O) What you might find useful is this http://www.hmonitor.net/ Which allows you to monitor the temperature of your CPU, which is much more interesting (relatively) and useful. I had real trouble finding something to monitor the temperature but this appears to work, mine has not yet dropped below 42C. I found a site which said normal rest range is 35C - 45C which makes mine seem a little 'hot'. But I think I read else where that this was pretty normal. I did get it up to 60C at one point. After several minutes on full load I heard the fan kick in. Temp stayed at 60 though!! Is that normal?? Actually I noticed that the burn in utility "hot potato" lol nice name, had finished its 7 minute run at that time. Mind you it is still saying 60%C Weird!! Well I just restarted hmonitor and it says 45C now. Mine is a 64bit Sempron 3000+ at 1.8GHz and 1.4V according to AMD power monitor. I saw one place which said it's Sempron was 28C idle which i find hard to believe (too low) but that was a earlier model IIRC, an Athlon at 1.5GHz so maybe it was correct, but 28C is not much above room temperature so I am suspicous. I am at 44C now oops 42, 43 42. Maybe that burst of the fan blew away a few cobwebs :O) Not sure if I can overclock mine and not really into it anyway, I would not notice a 10% increase in speed really, and I like my PC to be quiet!! Silence is golden :O) http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...3100-oc_6.html "We'd like to note that working at its nominal frequency and voltage (1.8GHz and 1.5V) the Sempron 3100+ was 47°C hot in the idle mode and up to 60°C hot under load in our system." |
