I love AMD

What is the set up, on board or a sound card ?

Well it's definitely not the speakers. I just plugged in my new head phones, and they too make the same noise when playing the music.

At first it was on-board sound. Then I turned that off and plugged in my Creative Audigy SE 7.1. No difference

So if it's not the speakers, not the sound card, then it must be drivers or playing software, right?

I'm using the latest version of VLC
 
Found the sound problem!

It was VLC!

Installed latest version of Winamp Lite and the sound is perfect!

Wow. And I always thought VLC was the best :(

21c in Core Temp! Exactly the same reading as on the motherboard.

Told you :D

And that's after 6 straight hours of being powered on

Scythe rocks.

Edit: Oh, and I have like 5 apps (including Photoshop) running with that temp

Comedy. :)

I have very same cpu cooler, been using it a while going from both dual core AMD to Intel builds, and can tell you now that's not the true temp in BIOS and even core temp seems tad off, unless you have two 120mm 4000rpm fans in push pull set up on it...:eek: More like somewhere bewteen 28/32 per core and upwards at stock with coolers stock scythe fan, dependent on your case airflow. ;)

Dont get me wrong, this is one great cpu cooler, but not the 'best', just one of...

Then Cool Temp is a useless program.

Know any that show better CPU readings?

Core Temp just showed the first core dip to 20c, and then back up to 21.

I totally understand this isn't a 100% precise reading. My only point all along was that my motherboard wasn't faulty, or giving temps that were too far off what a dedicated app such as Core Temp would

what a classic thread, some people just do not want to learn and instead want to live in their little bubble of ignorance. Defend it all you want Ad, your sensor is off and so is your understanding of this subject, so you two pair up quite nicely.

What's your problem? :rolleyes:

I've already said that I acknowledge the reading my not be 100% accurate.

I installed every app people told me too. Core Temp is still showing a stable 23c, and that's after my machine has been on for a solid 12+ hours.

When I run stress tests the temp goes up to 35c, and sometimes 45c+

So the sensor is working. It's not broken.

Perhaps you should read some of my other posts before trolling

Regardless of what you say 16c is too low even too be idling in the bios. That's not even considering if you have cool 'n' quiet on ( which I don't think works when you're in the bios).
Click to expand...

It's obvious that 16c was a one off temp, that only lasted for a bit, and may indeed have been a few c off.

As one poster said, the CPU cooler was brand new. The cooper plating would have been ice cold, and probably brought the reading down a bit.

However, I've posted screens from within Windows showing a Core Temp application reading of 21c, even 20c, so the motherboard wasn't THAT far off.

Yes, Core Temp may be wrong too. But then the discussion is flawed any way

It's quite obvious you don't know how heat transfer works or you would know that 20c idle temps are just not possible in a normal home on air cooling (even watercooling really)
Click to expand...

If you say so.

Quite a few people in this thread have already said it's possible. Especially considering that it's just 7c outside and I have no central heating on

20c is very rare on Core Temp. It's usually around 23c to 24c on the first core, and 27c to 28c on the second core
