What does the TCaseMax thing actually mean? and how come mine says 49°C and nearly everyone elses is higher?

Is this info extracted from my CPU itself or cross-referenced from some database thing based on the stepping?

welshtom · 1 May 2006 at 14:05

I think its something to do with when the CPU was unstable in testing.

the higher it is the better for overclocking i've read.

Higher than expected but it is overclocked, much lower than I thought, cool program thanks for telling us all about it

Nice speed for a 55.9W CPU :cool:

Is that bad then?

The lower the TDP is the better a CPU can run with low voltage (at least that is what I understand)

That you have a failed Dual Core, possibly a Opteron 170 or X2 4400 that is rebadged as a SA 3700+ with one core disabled so you prolly bought a OEM one, your stepping is the same as mine or very close, you run at 2600Mhz so I think you run with 1.40V - 1.425V Vcore and 2750Mhz is the limit with 'normal' cooling as that requires 1.52V or more to run Prime stable.

Vogon · 4 May 2006 at 16:32

Failed dual core , hmmm thats well out of order lol, no wonder its a horrible thing

Yes 1.4v @ 2.6 prime stable ... but not happy with the T1 memory scenario, oh well thats the chance you take I guess

2.75 isn't stable even with 1.53v

So why are some people getting two TDP's? If its because of dual core then why are the manchesters getting only 1. Whats the max. case temp supposed to mean too, is that the max cpu temp?

Yeah I'd like to know too as I'm also getting this:

Dutch Guy · 4 May 2006 at 19:29

Maybe the two TDP's are for the two cores and AMD have a new way to test each one separately when it's a X2-4400?

Out of interest, you wouldn't happen to have the stepping and batch of your cpu would you?
