AMD X2 4400+ Temp Confusion?

keogh · 31 Mar 2007 at 13:40

Howdy,

Just a quickie really... I wanna know the max temp for the AMD X2 4400+ and I feel the best place to tell me that is amd.com themselves.

Well they do just that, but they list 2 X2 4400+ CPU's (skt939) on there, each with a different max temp? So how do I find out what one is mine?

2: http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/details.aspx?opn=ADA4400DAA6CD

Apart from the core temp and wattage... what is the difference between them? I mean how can I tell what one of those I have? On the AMD box maybe?

Any help will be appreciated!

Run Coretemp, it'll tell you for your specific CPU.

I do run coretemp... I run it whilst running Orthos to tell me my current temps... but it wont tell me my max temp thou will it? I agree with elfy... once it reaches 65c I think I will stop, but if I can handle 71c.. there could be room for more clocking greatness! Also if the max is 65c then 61/62c will be my limit!

Sorry guru... what do you mean by stepping?

In one of the fields above the temps it should say what the max case temp is. It's typically in the range 55-65C for X2s.

Ah I see that after you posted, but mine is blanked out/disabled and doesn't show a value? Should it?

Whats the "Ordering P/N (Tray)" on the AMD site? Cos they differ from each? Also "Thermal Power/Wattage"... how do I know if mine is 110w or 89w?
