Hi all heres a Pic of HWmonitor now what one is the real CPU temp? i see theres CPU and then theres Cores.

and are they good temps for Idle CPU?

19c or 30c??

Thanks it gets to about 42-44c when under load is this too hot? i'm using a amd phenom II x6 1090t with a antec kuhler h2o 920 the problem is i cant get the chill control software to work its a nightmare so the Cooler runs at its slowest speed i'm guessing not sure how it works.

ok i just ran prime 95 for like 10mins and got these results , CPU 58c and Cores 47c .. and thats where they would sit didnt seem to rise any more.. and i know 10mins isnt a lot.

Oh and im Running stock with the auto turbo option in the Bios.. so would normaly run @ 3.2Ghz but with the turbo i belive it runs at 3.7Ghz...

Thanks Almighty

That's more then fine.... AMD CPU's tend to loose stability above 55c so if you're overclocking try and get it below that.

Forget the software, the pump runs at a constant speed, it's only the fans that get adjusted but change them for some quieter fans like I did.

Or take the stock Antec ones and run them on a fan controller.

Here ya go Almighty look at the CPU speed when i run Prime 95

and DXdiag says this is my CPU AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.2GHz

I never once, seen my 1075T turbo up a level... AMD's turbo implementation in Thuban was broken.

Oh i see the Bios is set to Auto and the CPU is the Black Edition so maybe thats why not too sure , my motherboard is a asus m5a99x evo r1.0 and i have it set to the Asus Optimal option (performance) theres also one called Energy Saving and another called Quiet so i'm guessing this is the overclock..

That's overclocked dude... AMD's turbo implementation on Thuban an doesn't boost all 6 cores, it only boosts half of them.

So your board must be applying a small factory overclock.

Heres Core Temp with Prime95 Running

And heres Core Temp with system idle

so i'm guessing its a turbo setting.. only ramps up when all cores are needed? or when more speed is needed? or it would be 3.7Ghz all the time right?

ok thanks almighty

No, only 3 cores will turbo up to 3.7Ghz and only when the other 3 cores are at idle, that is how turbo works with Thuban based CPU's.

As yours is applying turbo to all 6 cores your motherboard is applying a small overclock/tweak.
