What are your Phenom II x6/ Thuban core temps

[Hippie Tech]

Hello OC3D !

I've seen my fair share of AM3/Deneb cpus, so I know what to expect when it comes to CPU and core temps. The cores are usually 3-7C cooler than what the CPU/socket sensor reports. As you can see, this is showing a huge gap.

My guess is that the core sensors are fine, even though they are lower that what I've seen online. From what I know, Thuban cores have about 50% more surface area than a Deneb. This means there is less empty space under the protective cap which normally traps heat. Also, the bigger surface area ensures that most/all of the cooler's heatpipes have some work to do. lol

What are your core/cpu temps and what cooling solution do you use ?

3DMark06 - core min 14C /max 23C, CPU min 28/ max37C - Zalman CNPS 9900NT w/ Qfan set to silent mode.

3DMark11 - core min 10.5C /max 19.5C, CPU min 26C /max 34C .. with a little -5C air blowing in the window.

3DMark11 x6 4 U

.. just because...

Umm, 2 of your cores are disabled.

Despite the title the top 2 screenshots are for an x4

I missed that lol. when I blew it up the pic went all the way to the right and I did not scroll over.

Hey guys..

For those that don't know, the core temps become disabled when ACC/ core unlocker is enabled in the bios. I posted both the x4 and x6 screenies so you could see that the cpu/socket temps are virtually the same.

edit..

@ SPS I'm very interested to know what your temps are because of how low your cpu volts are @4ghz.

Do you know the stepping code and the date stamp ?

I found with my old X3 720 and the Gigabyte MA770-US3 mobo that the reported CPU temps were around 15-20 Degrees off, while the correct CPU temp was on of the TMPIN.

The CPU-Z page is wrong, it's at 1.471v and I get pretty much equal to ambient at idle and around 37C playing games 50odd under stress testing.

CPUID thermal software (and some others) are not AMD-friendly (written for intel)

if you want more exact temperature readings for AMD chips use AMDoverdrive (or similar)

I think the early AM3 chips were known for bad temp sensors and/or were picky with the motherboard/bios versions.

Thx for clearing that up. Gaming @37C with those settings seems about right.

What are your CPU gaming temps ?

Thx and way ahead of you Dug.

AOD is my first and final say when reading temps and voltages from Windows.

HWmonitor/CpuZ, Speedfan and others have always read the same temps as AOD. Its the volts and fan speeds they need to work on. lol

What lol?

I have my thuban at 6v and 1.5thz

 

[Dandaman91]

I have my 1100T @ 4ghz 1.46v ....

Idle temps are about 30-35°

Full load temps are about 46-50°

My 1090t at 4ghz 1.48v idles at 28c load 46c cooler master v6.

Hi all.. Thx for the input so far, but you're still missing my point. I want to see if other Thuban cores show the same temp difference.

Plz tell me what your CPU (socket reading) and core temps are.

Yes about 10C diff
