This is what I'm !

cpu volts and the temps are sweet ass low!

Was playing Dirt 3 at full high end settings and low cpu temps to boot!!!

 

[Super XP]

I have a question, I too have very low CPU temps. Are these acurate?

Im running 32- 46 C and what are you running?

For those of you who knew him, Shaun (JrRacinFan) is in surgery today. He told me to let you guys know.

And whats his problem bro?

 

[Chicken Patty]

He was undergoing an Appendectomy.

Ah I hope he gets better soon!

I have around 8C to 27C, and the load never goes over 35C. Just doesn't look right to me. I use the AMD Overdrive to check.

nope! for those clocks, the socket. and cpu, are well below the standard temps.... Nice going man!

 

[Irony]

Its hard for an appendectomy to go wrong.

@SuperXP: That's not right; unless you're outside during a siberian winter, or the equivalent.

Yeah Amd overdrive reports the TEmp of the cores which reads like 14C-26C for me always jumping around.

However if you get another tool you will see the CPU temp which for me says 35C.

I used OCCT to read temps.

Now my question is which one do I worry about? Should my Cores not reach 55-60C? or should the overall CPU not reach those temps?

 

[DrunkenMafia]

I am still trying to find a correct cpu temp app that is accurate for my 8120. So far I have tried:

Core temp - BAD!! do not use, I was even getting crashes as OS was loading up coretemp on startup. Also inaccurate.
CPUID - Inaccurate, was telling me I had like 18c idle at desktop. My fridge hardly gets that low this time of year lol.
AIDA64 - Close but seemed to be buggy.
AOD - Surprisingly inaccurate and not just the temps. The NB freq and mem timings all screwed up sometimes. Funny thing is I am using an AMD cpu, AMD gfx cards AND AMD mb.. Come on!!!!
GB easy tuner - seems to be close but a lot of the other features don't work or display correctly. This app even came with the mb. :shadedshu

What is your opinion on the most accurate temp recordings. I am finding GPUZ on my gfx cards the closest and seems I only have one loop I figure all temps will be close to the same when gaming. ie GFX cards same as CPU.

Updated my motherboard to the latest beta bios as it fixes the down-clocking under-load issue how ever voltage requirement for the cpu ( even stock) went up a lot so I reverted to the f5 bios, now my over clock settings from before are not stable, the rig either randomly shuts off ( no bsod or anything) or I get a blue screen saying that a clock interrupt was not received ( to a secondary processor I believe)


Any ideas how to fix this?

Quite annoying really, having looked up the error seems other people get it on steam games, I get it when running prime 95 large ffts, before it even passes one test.

Before I wouldn't crash at all even if I left it for a long time.


Help me TPU as I have a sad : [


Managed to "fix" it by running my cpu nb and HT back at stock speeds, but have I suddenly developed this problem? :S

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Use F6 BIOS for overclocks and the like. That error will still come up in some DX9c games that attempt to lock 1 core for use. Best I can guess is that attempt to lock 1 core includes the L1 and now shared L2 cache which creates an interrupt conflict and crashes your system. That is completely a guess by the way. Especially since L4D2 is suppose to scale up to 6 cores and it crashes as well.

I simply stopped playing those games and Deus Ex for a while. I see the Beta F7 BIOS is still not fixing this issue so I will wait for them to be stable.

 

[pantherx12]

But the f6 bios has such bad v-droop : [

Need to put volts up so much higher for the same clocks.

Temps are up 5 c even on stock settings as well.

Hopefully another beta or finished bios comes out soon.

 

[DrunkenMafia]

I have had some major drama running my HT above 2400 with FX. I was sitting happily at 2700+ with X6. Maybe you have same issues Panther?

Possibly although I should add that it was only prime 95 stable installing a stalker COP made the blue screen come up again.


Gone back to the latest beta and trying to work with the v-droop, how ever core 5 seems to fail prime 95 fairly early even though cpuz reads my volts at 1.312 ( tried a step higher as well which resulted in 1.344 or something which had the same problem)


Bah shouldn't of bothered flashing bioses, ruined my overclocks *shakes fist*

Will get this working though.

Have you tried Open Hardware Monitor, or CPUID Hardware Monitor?

 

[pantherx12]

Getting bsods and crashes all over the place, this beta bios is crappy as hell : [

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

seems a lot of people went with the crosshair, has anyone got or tried any of the asrock extreme 990fx boards im interested in how their bios is lookin and workin pre purchase obv with regards to BD performance and ocing

 

[MarcusTaz]

I have the Sabertooth 990FX but have not really had time to push the chip... Anything you want me to try let me know...

How do you like the board?

 

[MarcusTaz]

How do you like the board?

Yea like it a lot for the money i think it is a solid board with a great warranty... seems to built very solid and no issues at all. Just flash to the latest bios and may get time tomorrow to try and oc it with my 6100... i picked my board up for $139.00 when microcenter was offering $40 off any amd board with cpu purchase and the crosshair was out if stock...

Asrocks' Fatal1ty is a very nice board. I don't know for sure about the Extremes, but I'm sure they have to be good.

So I sold my 8150 a few days ago. The person I sold it to is currently putting it under LN2. Livestream is here: http://www.livestream.com/just_nuke_em
