hi guys im running a x2 6000 with a thermaltake mini typhoon cooler and no matter what i try i cant get the temps to come down its @ 45 on idle and 66 under load ive got case fans all pointed the right way but it still runs hot.
any and all help welcome

bump for help

Have you applied the thermal paste correctly, and not too much paste used? Also 66c under load is warm but I wouldn't worry about it.

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 00:54

the threshold for this chip is only 62 so its running really hot from my point of view, i used akasa grey compound and applied it correctly (ive done hundreds of others with no probs) i have temporally under clocked it to 2ghz but the temps dont seem to be comin down that much, i have only had this cpu for a few weeks and i cant afford to buy another yet.
im still at a loss as to what i should do, thanks for the reply

Is the fan on the CPU cooler running at max speed or is it turned down without you knowing? Or some CoolnQuiet option running keeping the fan speed low?

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 01:09

the fan only has the one speed so its @ 2500 rpm, and cool and quiet is turned off, the cpu is @2ghz at the mo and its 55 under load.

Is the voltage going to the CPU high?

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 01:20

core voltage is 1.440 i dunno if thats high?? its set to default in the bios

greywolf · 12 Sep 2009 at 01:27

Yeah I believe that is default for that chip. Im not sure what else to recommend, hopefully someone else might think of something.

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 16:16

anyone else got any idea's
?

BigBruiserAl · 12 Sep 2009 at 16:46

Vcore is waaay to high my 6000+ runs o/c at 3.4 with 1.325 vcore and default speed runs at 1.225. Mine is the brisy and i assume yours is the winsor however cant see why it wont run 1.35 at stock by trial and error.

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:03

mine's a brisbane core too, so u think the voltage is far to high??

Defo mate if its a brisbane core try stock which should be 3.1Ghz with 1.350, Run through orthos or prime for an hour at least then report back

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:17

i just looked at my bios and it wont let me go lower that 1.440 it will however let me go higher

BigBruiserAl · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:19

really have very odd..well not much you can do unitll you change boards mate. What board it it by the way

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:21

abit kn9 mobo

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:43

i still have my old mobo an asus M2V-TVM, think that might be better??

If its the original Amd 6000x2 those cpu's run extremley hot anyway. That temp is quite cool considering.

while the winsors where very hot chips the brisy's were not much better but are 65w and 66c load with a aftermarket its not cool at all in any way shape or form.
@op yes m8 if the mobo allows you to lower the vcore it will be better for the chip an dthe heat output

ok guys i been reading that its possably a problem with the bios verision im using but i dont have a floppy drive to change it any thoughts how i can do it without a floppy drive???
