I Have My Barton 2500+

[Dray_04]

Im also planning on OC this processor to speeds like bigdawg, however at the moment my temperatures are

Case: 29
CPU: 57

after running all three benchmarks....

thats pretty high isnt it?

my temps b4 were

Case: 29
CPU: 35 - 40

running full load...

I have 2 case fans, a standard CPU fan and i am planning on getting artic silver soon.

When i get my new memory (DDR400) i will post back on this thread to let you know how my overclocking is going

:01:

As I have already told you. The temp readings on that mobo are not right.

What do you have between the CPU and the heatsink now?

[Dray_04]

im assuming it is a copper plate. Standard heatsink and fan. Also it appeared as though the copper had some kind of thermal paste on it

[tesco]

you gotta replace the thermal paste everytime the heatsync is removed so that is why your temps are so high. id hurry up and get that arctic silver pretty soon as 57 is high!

[Dray_04]

are you sure,

fresh outta the box, surely the CPU wud be alright to be installed straight away without thermal paste. As i said b4... ther appeared to be thermal paste (or a sticky greyish square on the copper plate) already on it!!!

p.s VB i went into BIOS and my temps were 60 degree for CPU..!!!!

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT

Hello dray_02.


Did you hear me?


That isn't the right temp!

That mobo shows the wrong reading.

How many time do I have to tell you that?


Please confirm that you have read and understand this.

[bigdawgfoxx]

That would be a thermal pad. Artic Silver is much better.

Now that you have heated the pad up, it will be much harder to remove then if you would have just waited untill you got some Artic silver. But 60 is VERY high for a CPU...wierd.. :(

[_John_Lennon_]

Your thermistors, or something on their reading line is throwing off the readings at board level, so they will display wrong EVERYWHERE.

Remove the heatsink, check to see the contact between it and the CPU core. Then reseat the heatsink, making sure it just wasnt a bad seating.

If temps are still that high, than it is indeed a bad reading all the way around.

[Virtualbody1234]

HELLO???

Has anyone read my Posts?????????????

[bigdawgfoxx]

That would suck to have a bad sensor...you would never be able to overclock much without feeling scred :ghostface:

[bigdawgfoxx]

By the way...has anyone seen VB latley? He hasnt been here in forever

:rolleyes: :unsure: :)

Yes VB we have.

I am just stating what you said in a different way, and in my opinion, in hopes he will take my advice as well.

[Virtualbody1234]

The different way is that it's a known issue with that board.

[Lamsey]

You know what I think the problem is?





Call it a long shot, but I think his motherboard is reporting the temperatures wrong.


:lol:

[clocker]

You could be right Lamsey.

On the other hand, maybe the board is reporting the wrong temps.

[Virtualbody1234]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[clocker]

Actually, I'm surprised that VB didn't catch this....

[Dray_04]

lol....


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh just hadda 25min shower..

i think the mobo is reading the wrong temps ay...
















nah but check this out... i took out the 2500 chip because i was scared i wud fuck it up already, and i put my old 2000 in....

..and the temps for the CPU and Case are 30 / 29 degrees respectively.

huh? is it still reading wrong.... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigdawgfoxx]

hm...those temps seem right..wierd

that would show that the board is NOT reporting the wrong temps..

The only person dumb enough to say the board isnt reporting the right temps would be VB...well nvm..he aint even that dumb.. :P haha

[tesco]

try actually feeling the heatsync and if it feels extremely hot then its higher than 30 but if its not too hot, with the air going by its actually just warm then it is probably around 30.

before i thought u meant that u used the same heatsync from teh 2000 processor for the 2500 and didnt put new thermal paste on but it was a new heatsync and new thermal paste right?

btw, dont try to put the 2500 back in now until you have gotten some arctic silver as once it has been removed it wont have as good of a contact and will run a llot higher.

[Dray_04]

yer sum retard...
lol jest kidding :P

this is correct my friend

and i wont put the 2500 back in till i get artic silver....

...by then i will have DDR400 memory and bigdawg will be taking me thru the steps of getting it successfully up to 3200

thanks man

[bigdawgfoxx]

Damn skippy :) haha

Its just wierd that with your 2000XP or 2200XP, it reads the temps right..and with the 2500XP it reads them wrong..or right and ur cpu is messed up..

[Dray_04]

il say...
right now my cpu is at 30 idle

wish i cud say the same when i put in the 2500

[Virtualbody1234]

Hey... I wonder what the temps are. :unsure: :blink:

[clocker]

Has anyone heard from VB lately?

[Virtualbody1234]

I think I found the problem...













He has a 25 minute shower and there's no hot water left.

These temps seem a little off to me.

Anyone else?

[Dray_04]

whrs clocker?? :huh: hvnt seen him 4 a bit

[clocker]

I think his temps were too high...

He whistled for a while and boiled over.

[j4y3m]

I'm just replying 'cause this thread made me laugh... I have nothing usefull to say. :">

[adamp2p]

I am not sure what temperature monitoring software you are currently using, but maybe you should try another. ;)

[Dray_04]

i think i can officially say that this thread has become totally side tracked and has nothing to do with my topic title <_<


...BTW ... has anybody seen VB? :huh:

[Lite]

I thought VB gave up being a admin and 7thElement took over :blink: :unsure: :rolleyes: :lol:
