Strange XP-M temp

Sidney · 15th July 2004, 17:59

I did some clean up and switched the XP2600+M from NF-7 board to NF7-S V2. It's running at 2.505 mhz with 1.7 Volt; the funny part is the CPU idle and stress temps are almost no change at all both Thermister onboard and external probe. I tried two different external probes the same result; remounted the cooler three to four times with no change at all.

Any idea!!!! Idle and Stress temps are both at about 48C; may be only 1 to 1.5C higher stressed.

what cooling?

I've switched several coolers;

Samurai; Swiftech; 2L; SLK-800.

Except the 2L; the rest of them are within 4C difference. The temp will drop at stock speed and voltage from OC'ed. This tells me the sensors are responding to different vcore and speed. But, the idle and stress remain unchanged.

Switched everything back and forth; something to do with the NF7-S board having "flat" temp response.

Other than this everything is working fine. Well, can't use it for review because the external temp probe also shows the same.

Deal with it in another day.

well it's mobile CPU..

low temps are expected @default speeds, but not when overclocked though

Strange as it sounds; the flat temp response...
1) nothing was running in the background
2) Temps were measured based on MBM=BIOS, and external probe.

Reinstalled WinXP; all back to the way they should. I've noticed WinXP AMD K7 updates and have not found the reasons behind.

"Advance Micro Devices Processor Software Update Realeased on December 17,2002"

Under WinXP driver update.

What is this driver?

----------------------------------------------------

The only logical explanation I could come up with; whenever you switch the XP-M back to AXP; this problem "may" exsist and cause by BIOS/chipset not reallizing the M series chipset power curve and multiplier relationship.

Reinstall WinXP.
