Phenom II 720 temperature?

[Guest]

The problem I faced is that I unlocked the 4th core, and it was stable, but if I shutdown the computer, and tried turning it back on, the computer won't even POST. I had to reset the CMOS for the computer to boot.

Do you think that I should raise the voltage to 1.4 in order to get the computer to coldly boot with the 4th core enabled?

Please let me know as you expertise with the 4th core seem to be pretty high.

Thanks,

Hi, I have the same problem after i unlock the 4th core, when i get into bios and try to tweak a little, after i save the setting normally it will restart the whole dos, right? but mine , it just black out and nothing happening, and i need to switch off my PC and turn it back on to boot in dos....is this normal?

another problem is, I can't see my temp in any of program on vista? speedfan show o'c, amd's drive also show zero degree... none of the core is showing the correct temperature.. how can i fix this?
now, i switch 4th core off and just OC the tricore to 3.6GHz... well idle on 43c. is it good enough? I am using xigmatec cooler~ cheers~!

Exactly what I experienced... I too would like to know how to fix the temperature monitoring problem as well as bios booting problem...

I have just installed this chip and the fan that came with it. Bios reads the temp at 51C is there an issue with the heatsink or should I just buy a new cooler or case fan??

not normal.... my idle CPU temp is 33C, and core temp is 10C lower. Check your core temp, CPU temp, MB temp, then you will have an idea what's wrong
