Kuronin Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I use speedfan on all my computers. Works excellent. Click here for description, here for download. CPU-Z should recognize your 6000+, just not tell you what temperature it's running at. Edited December 31, 2008 by Kuronin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjloki Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 What about CoreTemp? core temp is reporting core 0 @ 12 to 20c depending on loading and core 1 @ 1/2 that....6 to 12c i'm thinkin that's good for stock setup... and speedfan is reporting 6 to 10c...i'm happy...!! this is very cool...thanx again guys....!! :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turophiliac Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 core temp is reporting core 0 @ 12 to 20c depending on loading and core 1 @ 1/2 that....6 to 12ci'm thinkin that's good for stock setup... and speedfan is reporting 6 to 10c...i'm happy...!! this is very cool...thanx again guys....!! :thumbs-up: i'm pretty sure those temperatures are wrong... unless for some reason Riverside got a huge cold front and you have 0C temperature outside and your house's heater broke... maybe find another program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acedog Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 core temp is reporting core 0 @ 12 to 20c depending on loading and core 1 @ 1/2 that....6 to 12ci'm thinkin that's good for stock setup... and speedfan is reporting 6 to 10c...i'm happy...!! this is very cool...thanx again guys....!! :thumbs-up: I agree with turophiliac, I have an AMD x2 6000+ also but mine runs core 0 at 40-55 and core 1 at 45-60 depending on the load, so i think that those temps are wrong also. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuronin Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I would have to agree with them. Unless you are using TEC cooling, or just straight up put icecubes on your cpu. Try Everest. Works for me fine as well, multi functions too. Download link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 realtemp? Realtemp is Intel only... I'm having a similar sort of problem with a 4850e X2...nothing reads it correctly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds more logical. What you are talking about IS the AMD Cool n Quiet. I have it disabled because it decreases performance.
