Guest InFeKtioN Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I have a question about which temps I should go by ! On some Apps that provide temps for Dual Core and/or Quad Core Processors, show three temps .... CPU.............= 36c Core #1........= 46c Core #2........= 54c I'll use Everest for example ..... Looking @ the pic provided and keeping in mind when I say "limits/range" I am referring to my personal limits/range .... The CPU temp falls well within my temp range ... Core #1 also is acceptable ... But Core #2 is pushing it a bit more than I would like... So what temps do I go by ? Core temps ? or CPU temp ? This is a RIG I am building for someone and I dont want to have to worry about temps down the road... And once I put it in a case, it has potential to even get warmer. As may the ambient temp for where ever they will park it ! Note; The Temps are close to the same if I run two instances of Prime instead of Orthos ..... FYI I am using a TT Big Typhoon .... . . . .

soundx98 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 CPU - read by Off die Thermal Diode - keep at less than 50 CoreTemps - read by DTS (Digital Thermal Sensor) - keep at less than 60 Be aware that the DTS is not "officially" supported on 939s.

Guest InFeKtioN Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks Carl ... that good Info ! What do you mean "not supported" ? by apps the read temps like everest or core temp or others ? Or something else ? Also ..... is it the same for C2D ? or is that ok ? BTW .... Good Luck this week ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showpost.p...6&postcount=122 DTS is supported on all the newer processors. Wow, I thought it was over. Guess I gotta get me booty kicked one more time Fear McLovin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinister Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 bah, my x2 3800+ (2.7ghz) breaks those temp limits daily. My CPU goes up to 60, and core 2 goes up to 69. (70 is my back-away point). It's been like this 24/7 for a year. I have gamed for 2-3 days straight, no problems. Don't trust the software readouts. The bios temp is the only one I ever really trust. Other than that, as long as it doesnt crash, does it really matter? People tell me my cpu will not last more than 4 years at high temps. Good god if I'm still on S939 by next week - please shoot me, let alone 3 more years, lol If you have some uber-expensive CPU made of gold that you will somehow not upgrade for 10 years then by all means, try to keep it below 50 degrees. If you have a normal, common cpu, then freg man just clock it till it crashes! Prime95 will be your temp readout, when the letters go red, its too damn hot.
