Shredalicious42 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Hi, I'm curious as to why CPUID HW Monitor is no longer displaying the temps for my CPU, the AMD Phenom II X4 955. It just stopped doing so the other day after I field stripped- I mean cleaned my PC, I have also done a BIOS update but I dont think this had nothing to do with it since the BIOS update was after the temps stopped displaying. Core Temp also does not want to show me the temps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Did you uninstall any software that came with your motherboard? I'm surprised it affected Core Temp too though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, everything is all there, temp readouts just stopped all of a sudden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandreadstriker Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I think it's a well known issue with some Phenom chips, especially those chips that can be unlocked. If I unlock my Phenom chip, nothing can be used to read the temps (even AMD Overdrive). The only tool I can use was Everest which only shows the temp of the package..

I agree, my unlocked chip dose the same thing but the op's is a regular quad 955 so it should not have a temp reading problem as it is not unlocked.Maybe the temp sensor on the cpu is screwed up some how. edit- you can try uninstalling and reinstalling your temp monitor programs, that might fix the issue.

It's weird, yes, but I've seen other chips that does that even if it's a regular quad core chip. It's rare but it seems that it does happen. My guess would be that some manufacturing defect or similar made the chip think it was unlocked and so no temps weres displayed..

IVIYTH0S Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 If ACC is enabled in your bios it will probably cause the temp sensors to cease to report properly (you don't need it with your quad anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
