wizurd of awwz Posted March 28, 2007 I have an Opteron 170 topped with Arctic Silver 5 and a Thermalright Ultra 120 + Panaflow M1A. At idle using CoreTemp it's showing 18c/29c and under load Core1 goes 20c HIGHER than Core0. :drool: Core0 will be at 35-39c and Core1 will go up to 55-60c. What gives?

Guest erico Posted March 28, 2007 Are you getting similar readings with other programs that read temps (i.e. MBM5)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tasr Posted March 28, 2007 Recheck your HSF mounting and that you have evenly tightened the mounting hardware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizurd of awwz Posted March 28, 2007 Recheck your HSF mounting and that you have evenly tightened the mounting hardware. I remounted it and it seems to be a tad bit better. Hmmm....still seems really unbalanced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizurd of awwz Posted March 28, 2007 Here's an idle screenshot and load screenshot (gets higher on core1 after a while of Orthos) And MBM5 show 38-39c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Septem Posted March 28, 2007 Might be a bad IHS job. Have you always noticed this problem with your CPU? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boywander Posted March 28, 2007 Sorry, 15C Core #0 (first pic)? Core Temp be damned... Load and idle in MBM/other? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wizurd of awwz Posted March 29, 2007 This is my third time reapplying AS5 and remounting the HSF as perfectly as I can and it still shows a 10c difference between the cores at idle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
