do i have a great chip?

[SupermotoMX]

just wondering about my max load temps... them seem tiny for the crappy cooler i have on it. only thing i have done is bump FSB up to 229, fans are on auto so dont even fully ramp up (pwm)

Core temperatures in AMD chips are inaccurate. You should be reading the motherboard's CPU sensor further up.

that looks about right, i have a x2 250 running at 3450 with 1.45v with a phenom stock cooler and it doesn't break 40c under load.

i use the cpu temp in hwinfo32 as the temp gauge.
