Tbird / duran Cpu temp survey

[Guest]

Which Cooler Master are you using, BatMan? 'My' system is similar.
-Bought last week Duron 750. Will overclock this weekend.
-Got a Cooler Master DP5-6H51
-Abit KT7
-28ºC normal, 40º after 3 hour gaming session
-One fan on the back to extract air, next to the processor. (Planning to put one in-take on the front).

My TB800 clocked to 1000 is currently running at 52C, but never gets into the 60's. I have bios 1005a, 4in1 425a, and promise 1.60 build 33...these are the latest drivers. However, using the latest version of Probe, these temps jump by 10C. I'm hoping the version of Probe that came with the mobo is correct!

Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight. Oh

Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride

Thats what I have too...

CPU: T-Bird 1ghz (blue core)
Heatsink/fan: Globalwin FOP38
Motherboard: KT7
Temps: 86F idle & 98-105 under pressure
(i get 90-120 when overclocked to 1.3ghz)
Core voltage: 1.75v

I get these temps w/o using any thermal pastes or tape.

 

[Guest]

Duron 650. Not overclocked. Generic el-cheapo fan. Quiet but 44 Degrees C idle, 48 degrees C operating.

 

[Guest]

I overclocked the Duron 700 last night. At 900 Mhz I ran 103F and at 950 it jumped up to 111F. The el cheapo HSF I'm using is a Coolermaster. I'll need to get something better I think.

Duron 750, not OC'd. 26C idle, 35C under load.

Using Global Win FOP32 w/ generic thermal paste.

 

[Bandit]

Update:
Just OC'd 750 to 950

GlobalWin FOP-32 1.75V
27 Idle, 39 Under Load

TB 1 gig to 1.1 with FOP 38 + Artic Silver, A7V Bios 1005a, 1.75 volt, open case with 150mm AC fan blowing to the MB, room temp 29C, idle 44C, full load (CPU Warm or Prime 95) 49C, Highest 53C when room temp 33C.

It seems you got a 5 degree improvement when you switched to Artic Silver where I only got a 3 degree improvement using readily, available, Radio Shack, thermal compound. I originally had thermal tape. What were you using before you switched to Artic Silver? If you don't mind.

I'm thinking of switching, myself. My system is just teetering on the brink of 1000 Mhz at sub-50's temperatures and I was wondering if Artic Silver will get me into the 40's.

Besides, OCZ.SAFESHOPPER.COM will sell a 1.5 oz capsule of Artic Silver for $2.50 + $1.03 shipping (for those of us that don't need 6.5 oz. They'll also sell that 6.5 oz amount for $9.99 + $6 for shipping but I hope that is a typographical error).

Before the Arctic Silver, all I had between the processor and the HSF was that pink junk that comes on the bottom of the GlobalWin FOP32. I don't know what it is, I just know it sucks.

Hey Guys,

one thing with socket A temps, they're hard enough to use as comparisons on the same mb, that comparisons with different mb's/cases should absolutely NOT be done.

Errors include the following:
a) General(varying to wildly)inaccurate temps recorded by socket-thermistors(the problem isn't with the thermistor, but with where they measure temp).
b) Measuring temp from a secondary pathway that shows only a portion of full cpu CORE temp change.
c) Measuring from a secondary heat pathway that is not isolated from air contact(in best cases, only touches the cpu at one spot, leaving 90+% of it touching air)
d) At best, compensated BIOSs do a good job of "approximating" cpu temp. At worst, even compensated BIOS can be off very significantly(10-20C too low).

So it is important to take these "comparisons" and temp surveys with a grain of salt. Often times, they are reading temps that are lower than that of the cpu core.

Yes!
When I started this thread I had just built my system.
But since then I have tried 3 different fan/heat sink combos.
FOP38/delta (too loud)
Coolmaster (too Hot)
Copper hedgehog / Sanyo Denki (just right
But my temps were reading cooler with the coolmaster then with the hedgehog?
And I had to run the CPU at stock just to load windows with the coolmaster.
Why? With the A7V the temp reading varies depending where u mount the probe.
I stuck the probe on the bottom Hedgehog before I installed it right next to the CPU.
That made my temp readings jump +25F.
But the Hedgehog gave me the most overclockability (is that a word?) for the least noise.
My temps now read 53/127 which I think is close to right.

What my point!
Most of these temp readings are way off so just use them to give u a ball park number.
And for all u A7V owners, take of your heatsink and mount the temp probe on the bottom right next to the CPU and then let me know what your temp readings are.
I doubt anyone is under 45/113 with air cooling.

Thx 4 the read & Cya

Well, with the KT7, you'll see under 40C readings even wtih the UL bios. Its cause the temp measurement is screwy.

1. TBird 700@850 on ASUS A7V; GlobalWin FOP-32; idle 38°C to full load 47°C.
2. TBird 700@850 on Abit KT7-RAID; GlobalWin FOP-32; idle 25°C to full load 38°C.

Before I installed my Duron a bent the sensor upward so that it would come in contact with the base of the chip. (I read about this somewhere but I can't remember where). I get temp readings from 39 to 47 running at 910Mhz, 107Mhz FSB X 8.5.

 

[cellbiogeek]

I've got a TB800 not OCed and its running at 45C idle even though I have a FOP32 and I used artctic silver between the die and heatsink. I just noticed that my enermax PS is blowing air the wrong direction (into the case, oy). Could this cause the temp to be so high?
