Athlon II X3 435 - 10,000 RPM stock fan!? HOT? Help!

[chico_pr]

Hi guys,


I have a Rana X3 435 and unlocked the 4th core lucklly with the L3 Cache to 6mb. Stock HSF unit. No OCing.

Ambient temp is 31c (Puerto Rico). I played Grid for about an hour and left CPUID on to monitor temps. I noticed it maxed 51c but what really surprised me is the fan that maxed to 10,887 RPMS!!

Is the right?

Can it be that unlcoking the 4th core i have incorrect readings?

Right now it's idling at 33c and fan is at ~3,100 rpms. It's pretty hot in here too.

I tried Prime95 and it got to 61c amd 4000rpms before I stopped the test.

I dunno, at idle I think it's okay but under stress it's getting really hot. I am positive the heatsink and fan are seated and installed correctly...

Any reccomendation for an aftermarket cooler? I wish for best value.

Thanks for the help!

HW monitor spits out random crazy #'s , sometimes double a real reading.
The fan can spin up to 5K, I believe.

I'm not sure about the fan that comes with Athlon II, never used it, but the copper one that comes with Phenom can hit 5,200rpm.

I highly doubt your fan hit 10,000, I've seen HWMonitor spit random numbers in the 30k range on me a few times. It's usually accurate, but ocasionally bugs out.

hmm, i see. I was damn worried. My temps are okay?

60C under heavy load is maybe a bit hot, but then again it's well within specs for the CPU. It may be because your ambient temperature is a touch high.

I am using an Arctic Cooler Pro 64 on my system with no problems,although AC has renamed it ,it is still the same beast works great...

Hwmonitor shows my fan reading as 38000RPM!!!!

ReCheck with speedfan...

Must be a frictionless magnetic bearing then...

Buy the Titan Fenrir HSF from FROZENCPU.COM.....it kicks ass

Back to the unanswered part of his original question - I think the cpu temp is allright.

 

[lowjack989]

Yeah its just alright thats the problem.....I never use a stock HSF.....You want cooling you buy an aftermarket HSF and Thermal Paste. I achieve just at 8 degrees celcius above ambient idle and 18 degrees celcius above ambient @ 100% thats with overvolting and overclocking C n Q disabled... BTW my system has never seen above 45 degrees celcius... My ambient temp are between 26 celcius and 29 celcius

 

[elel]

That's certainly nice. I'm just saying I don't think he has to be worried.

 

[lowjack989]

No he doesn't, your right. I was just saying if he wants it chilly hes got to pay the piper

 

[saaiello]

The stock Athlon II x3 fan is a delta 10,000 RPM fan so the speed you saw was probably rite.

 

[chico_pr]

I see. Thanks for the info people. I'm thinking of getting an Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.

I actually have one intake and one exahust fan. Plus the PSU has a really big 120mm fan too.

Again thanks!

 

[elel]

Because it's cool! :lol:

 

[lowjack989]

Yeah man its so cool, you just got to get an aftermarket one.....no please chico stick with the stock one. 60 degrees is perfect in 30 degree ambient<sarcasm>. Go ahead and turn the clock up a bit too, it'll be fine. I am sure your CPU vendor will be happy to sell you another processor after this one goes into meltdown mode.

 

[chico_pr]

I'll maybe get one if I OC but for now I'll have to settle with the stock one. It idles at 31c now...

Plus budget was compromised with a new PSU, web cam, and a case fan.
