compbrainiac Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 His 2nd core idles below 8c.. while first core idles at 18-20c.. Is this bad?? All opinions appreciated.. 2.6ghz not OC'd 1.33v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackadaisical Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I would guess that there is a sensor issue which is giving the wrong readings. What are you using to read the temperature?

compbrainiac Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 OCCT and AMD program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenphic Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 My AMD X2 5000+ BE has a faulty sensor which gives some weird thermal readings as well. CoreTemp actually added a 21C offset to some AMD processors to compensate for the weird readings. I suggest you use HWMonitor or CoreTemp for temperature monitoring instead.

dr_bowtie Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Brisbane cores are like that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman62 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 yeah, its because of the build. they are running with 65nm more sensitive to heat, so if you have over heated it its possible you cooked the diode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I never had one over heat...I have pumped 1.55v thru all my Brisbanes...all of my 4000+, 5000+ and 5400+ will do 3.6ghz on 1.55v on air... the sensor temps never got over 55c...

crazyman62 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 yeah, but he may not have proper cooling like we do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
