Burning Barton?
Ok, here it is: I have an Athlon XP 2500+, which I overclocked by changing
gradually bus speed from 366 up to 400. Everything worked well, until I've checked CPU Temperature reported or by BIOS or by Everest... I have Idle temp around 88 C !?!? I doubt this is valid measurement... until there is something strange like motherboard reporting it in Fahrenfeits instead of Celsiuses... Why? Beacouse without overclocking the standard temp was about 60 degrees... I've used some Volcano Cooler, then Alpine 64... and currently Thermaltake X-blower combo. I've run 2-hours stress test in the Everst... keeping core temp around 93 degrees... It did not burned... Manual investigation (touching :-)) reports that no radiator, nor motherboard around CPU are hot as shall be expected... much hotter are area around Chipset (not mentioning it's radiator) or Graphics... Well the heatsink of the CPU cooler is rather cold... only near bottom this is measurably warm. And yes, I've used thermal paste. I'm not receiving any suspicious behavior or system unstability (well, no different or more often than before). My MOBO is Gigabyte K7 Triton. The bios is latest version. Motherboard temperature is reported 32-34 C... Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. |

My 1st thought is that Everest may be using the wrong sensor or
misinterpreting it. I would download the Gigabyte EasyTune utility and see what that says. --- Ed Light Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Nay, as I said - same results come from BIOS. But according your suggestion
I've also tried GET... but results were same... "Ed Light" wrote in message ... My 1st thought is that Everest may be using the wrong sensor or misinterpreting it.
