AMD athlon xp 3200+ temp issues

Noodlez · 19th February 2005, 1:22 AM

So ive got a athlon xp 3200 and a Gigabyte 7n400 pro2 - the mobo wont run the cpu under 1.7v, the cooling i have is a spire whisper rock with a 52cfm fan and as5 on it with plenty of other case cooling, and atm:

Temperatures
Motherboard 29 °C (84 °F)
CPU 60 °C (140 °F)
Aux 38 °C (100 °F)
Maxtor 6Y120M0 44 °C (111 °F)
Maxtor 6Y120M0 44 °C (111 °F)

Cooling Fans
CPU 4327 RPM
Chassis 2679 RPM

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.71 V
+2.5 V 2.70 V
+3.3 V 3.30 V
+5 V 4.27 V
+12 V 12.10 V
+5 V Standby 4.57 V

i know that it shouldnt be that hot or that many v's does ne one know of a custom bios or somethin that would let me set the voltage lower or have any ideas on how to make this cooler?

It seems dubios that the motherboard wouldn't run the chip at stock volts. Have you tried restoring fail safe deafults to see if that lowers it?

Also, 60degrees is something to raise an eyebrow at, but I wouldn't start to panic yet. Temp probes are notoriusly unreliable. I can change my bios (from d10 to d26) and it will lower my chip temp reading by 8-10 degrees at load. So there is a lot of error.

I have a friend with the same board & an XP3000+ (stock AMD HSF)
This board seems to report 60C+ temperatures but there has never been any stability issues.

Definately try updating the BIOS though. The voltage issue seems a bit weird.

i'm running an abit nf7-s, but my tbred at 2.2 GHz (3200 speed) is also at 1.7 V, with a spire falcon rock heatsink and 32cfm 80mm fan on it. its currently at 60 degrees too. although it has to be said, the room its in doesn't have great ventilation.

this is while folding btw. if yours is 60 degrees idle, well...

on my ASUS a7n8x-e deluxe it ran at 1.6v stable at a 45-50deg temp range
same with my mates nf7-s

it is stable and in the extremems of room temp it dosent normally get above 68deg - i was just wandering if there was something to edit the bios b4 updating it or something like that, and i have tried the ctrl-F1 trick, thanks for your help
