Hello everyone,
One month ago i formatted and reinstalled Windows XP due to a virus issue. I never had any stabillity problems with my PC then and now. What troubles me is the temprature readings i get now, since i'm planning to overclock a bit.
Before what i was getting usually was: Idle-->CPU 36 C, System 30 C, under load-->CPU 40 C, System-->33 C.
After i reinstalled WinXP i noticed these temprature readings: idle--> CPU 51 C System 31 C and under load-->CPU 53 C, System 33 C.
In BIOS when i restart i get 44 C for the CPU which is what i get when Windows load second time (after one restart). The tempratures then are CPU 44 C, System 31 C for idle and 49-50 C and 33 C under laod.
I was monitoring the tempratures with Winbond Hardware Doctor but recently i installed ABIT EQ, no changes though since a restart is needed to get the same temprature readings that i get in BIOS.
I'm running an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ at 12X166 (temps are the same as 15X133). I'm planning to overclock to about 12.5X166 or 13X166 for the moment (not altering the FSB yet) but i am wondering if there is a problem with the sensor measuring the CPU's temprature?Are the BIOS readings trustworthy?I didn't touched anything on the motherboard, nor a BIOS flash-nothing at all.
Is there another way to measure the temprature on that CPU (for example a sensor on the heatsink how close tempratures to the CPU's could give)?
Just for your information, the pc case is always open and i have fan next to the Graphics Card for ventilation.
Any advice, opinion on this would be much appreciated.
