A64 x2 Temp

Pilgrim57 · 11 Dec 2006 at 13:00

I am running a x2 4600 @2600MHz [220x12].
At full load Folding & BOINC 1 core is always 3C hotter than other, by Core Temp utility, with stock HSF.
Is this "normal" for dual core A64's?

Thanks

Mines similar, usually 5 degrees different. Core 1 is hotter too.

that is right mate as the cpu gas got two cores, so one will be running more info than the other so the temp will be higher on one !! some times 8c or a bit more .!

Same here, 5C hotter on Core 1.

Not sure if you any of you guys has the same problem, but if I run core temp in the background it will shut my pc off randomly, I mean completely off like someone pulled the power cord, usually during heavy load (i.e. 2* F@H, video encoding, whatching moving at the same time).

Same - getting 49c on core 0 and 55c on core 1 full load.

Have you put tick in "disable overheat warning" in settings?

Thanks for the info guys :cool:

Thought it might be a TIM problem.

My core 1 runs a good 12 degrees hotter than core 0!!!! it's getting on my nerves actually!

Same here, core 1 is hotter than core 0 though the difference never goes above 3 degress. Good IHS contact I guess?!
