i have a new water loop on my AMD phenom x 2 560BE and the temps was 29c idle it o now idling at 14c, is there a problem with my temp monitoring program? or can it real be that low?

Unless your room temp is 14 degrees or lower, I'd say theres a temp monitoring issue.

Water cooling can have great effects don't be surprised.

Even under water at normal room temperature it wouldn't be as low as this, unless its outside in a garage or a very cold room. What is the temperature in the BIOS? Perhaps try another temperature monitoring programme like Open HWMontior. Is is at stock speed also?

Open HWMontior is showing the same temps.

I did a bit of a search and found out that some AMD processors have a buggy temp sensor

lol i mean i like AMD but no matter what they make there's always a little bug in it somewhere

Sounds like a dodgy sensor thermal sensor. What was temperature in BIOS out of curiosity?

Dave0w · 11 Feb 2011 at 20:10

Just rebooted and lit's reading 29c? that cant be right it running @ stock

that is probably only a few degrees over ambient temp (unless your house is freezing

) so it's probably right, what are the load temps like ?

i haven't run any i am removing the CPU tonight to post to HeX, and i have a phenom II X4 955 coming soon witch i will clock a little and test

my phenom 2 555 runs at the same sort of temps, 29C idle and 55C load with stock cooler its overclocked to 3.8ghz. These temps are when all 4 cores are not unlocked
