cpu temp problems

k, also, i was recommended to change the Vcore to the cpu to 1.65 if that is not already preset. Will this make a difference in temps?

if your Vcore is above 1.65 it will make a difference (depends on how much above it was for the amount of difference)

also, what is your room temperature???? dont forget that the hotter the air is, the hotter your cpu will get (and not +5 C room = +5 C CPU, but much more, since it cools way less)

if i turn the heat up in my room by a little i can see my CPU temp shooting up..........

another thing: right now you're using the thermal pad and stock cooling.......... if your CPU burns down (and you havent overclocked) you can just get a new one (warranty)

using thermal paste wont void your warranty afaik (check with AMD to be sure), using a different HSF might, AMD keeps a list of approved HSF's............ though i havent been able to find it.......... again, check with AMD if you want to be sure............

im in NYC, it was about 40 degrees F yesterday, thats about 20C i think.

im talkin about room temp.......... unless your computer is outside

and 40 F is about 5 C i think........ (wasnt it -32, *5/9?)

ok so so far i can try
1) changing the voltage controls in BIOS to 1.65
2) allow the thermal pad to run, up to 70C to see if the melted thermal pad yields better conductivity of heat
3) make sure that the clock multiplier is 12.6X, 333 FSB, 2083Mhz for the cpu.

anything else before i pull everything off my old mobo and connect it to the new one, jsut to test... then reconnect everything to the old mobo to repost more problems? sigh..
