A question about case cooling and temps...

stonedrhino · 23 Sep 2006 at 15:03

This is my first post so bare with me pls,
Firsty my spec:
AMD Athlon 64Bit 3000+ 2.0Ghz
512Mb RAM 333
ATI 7600XT 256Mb
Asrock K8 Board
The gfx card is over clocked bt not CPU.

Firstly Id like to ask if these temps are ok, i use speed fan and im woryd about this core temp, i am thinking that its wrong but i need advice thx,
Temp 1: 32c IDLE
Temp 2: 32c IDLE
Temp 3: 31c IDLE
HD0 : 35c IDLE
Core : 82c IDLE !!!!!!! :confused:

Temp 1: 33c LOAD
Temp 2: 36c LOAD
Temp 3: 35c LOAD
HD0 : 35c Load
Core : 84c
I have a Thermaltake Soprano case with defualt fans and setup.
Thx.

Download Core Temp from here and see what it says.

My guess is that 82 degrees is the chipset (Nforce 4?) Other than that looks ok

assuming the chipeset is the gfx card then its at 37C(idle) and its overclocked and monitord with ati control centre i got an ATI 7600Xt 265mb i also downloaded coretemp and that also said 82C core temp gettin worried

or in speed fan it says chipset Ali M1653 not sure if this is what u mean :confused:

What does your BIOS say?

stonedrhino · 24 Sep 2006 at 10:41

my BIOS is telling me that my CPU is 34C and my MB is 33C so i suppose the bios is correct, so as my temps are ok as far as i know can i over clock my machine?
as i said i have a
AMD Athlon 3000+ 64Bit 2.0Ghz with Asrock K8 Combo-z motherboard, ive increased the voltage to 1.55V before but this only increase to 2.01Ghz and extra 11 Mghz

ive also disabled Cool 'n' Quite.
Thx for adive n help

Chipset is not the videocard, it's the IDE/SATA controller and southbridge. If it's a Nforce they do run that hot.

As for overclocking, as you increase CPU speed you need to drop memory otherwise you run the memory faster than recommended speeds.

in speed fan it says chipset Ali M1653 not sure if this is what u mean ??
i get confused when it comes to south n north bridge, i know that north contrs cpu mem and gfx signals or summit and south bridge ide sata are these underneath the heatsink on the mb?? (obv the 1 wit fan is cpu lol)
also im complete noob with overclocking and i understand small parts of it is there a tutorial to overclock the 3000+? so i can understand fully

thx
