compbrainiac 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lackadaisical 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? Edited December 13, 2009 by Lackadaisical Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
compbrainiac Posted December 13, 2009 OCCT and AMD program Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenphic 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.

I suggest you use HWMonitor or CoreTemp for temperature monitoring instead. i also have the same issue, but i find speedfan works best with it. is it a brisbane? because they have lower temp thresholds than others you can find out by running CPUZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_bowtie Posted December 15, 2009 Brisbane cores are like that.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyman62 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_bowtie 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... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyman62 Posted December 15, 2009 yeah, but he may not have proper cooling like we do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
