soundx98 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 TCaseMax and TDP are both grayed out on the current version with this 939 Opty 170. The readings both appear when I use earlier versions of CoreTemp. Any Input as to why or what changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 That's odd. It reports all values on this 165. I remember something about some 170s having an invalid value in one of the registers pertaining to TCM. If this is the case maybe this release ignores it?

ReelFiles Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Both the older and the newer version work fine on my 170 (CCB1E 0609 FPAW). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 soundx98 Does TCM report 49C in the previous versions? If so I think that was the faulty value in the register. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Looks like you hit the nail on the head Praz. While I could not find any screenshots of Older versions of CoreTemp with this 170 for comparison, (spent an hour looking for one) The latest CBID also reads both cores using the DTS and displays a TCaseMax for this CPU of 49 degrees. So i would think yes, the 49 degree glitch is happening and latest CoreTemp is ignoring it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 TCM was/is 59C for me. Don't know if this helps, but here's some of my screenies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarathrustra Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 @Soundx98, I have the same thing here with my 170. The new CoreTemp version wont display TCaseMax/TDP. And CBID also shows my TCasemax at 49. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I believe that since 49 degrees is an erroneous temperature TheCoolest has told his latest version not to show the reading. That's why it is grayed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolt Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ReelFiles how do you get that screen you posted in CBID ? I show the same ver you show but i cant find that screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coolest Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 In the program's "Change log" I say that I've removed the reporting of TCM/TDP of 49C/35W. The reason for this is that a 49C TCM is represented by a value of 0 in the register. This value is supposed to be ignored if you go by the book and new AMD K8 BIOS Guide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ReelFiles how do you get that screen you posted in CBID ? I show the same ver you show but i cant find that screen That machine is running memtest86 atm, but if I remember correctly it was under mobility / P-States. It took me a min to find it too, when I saw that soundx posted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolt Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 haha cool man Ive been missing a lot out of that program lol never saw them drop downs EDIT ok it says thermal offset 1c Is that the off set i need to set in the bios ? the reason Im asking is I got my cpu fan to come on full at 26c and most the time its off. ITE reads 34c my other two pc are set to the same and there cpu fans are off too. BUT then ITE reads 24 on both of them. And i don't even know if there's off set settings in the bios on them. My intake air reads 26.7c as does the inside wall heat thermometer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
