| 209636 | 2004-01-24 02:48:00 | Wow. www.tech-report.com Exactly my problem. I found it out when I install PC Alert 4, because my CPU was getting up to 70 degrees nearly, and my case temp was around 60. Too hot? I have good enough cooling, PC is not that high spec, so why was it running so hot? I saw this little button saying CoolerXP on it, and I clicked it, and to my suprise, I saw my temp dropping. Now I am sitting here with the PC at 48, and cpu at 51! Still hot, but a lot better than it was. Amazing, I never would have thought it. |

| 209637 | 2004-01-24 03:19:00 | CPUidle is another good one that works well on AMD XP CPU's. Unfortunately, only 30 day trial, then you pay. I thought it well worth it, so got it. |

| 209638 | 2004-01-24 06:12:00 | Cool, is it better than this one? Because this one is free | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 209639 | 2004-01-24 08:01:00 | I just installed cpuidle (http://www.cpuidle.de/) and its dropped the idle temp of my 2100+ from 33c to 20 (lower than the case temp?). After the first minute it had dropped by 10. I was skeptical, but I just felt the heatsink and it is cold! The big question I have is why is it disabled? Stability? Performance? |

| 209640 | 2004-01-24 08:27:00 | i can't see how you could get a 20c INTERNAL cpu temp exspecially if case temps are higher. sounds like either bios or program is reporting the incorrct temps. case temp of 48 is way to hot, unless your room temp is 40+ ! |

| 209641 | 2004-01-24 08:31:00 | nah, our computers are screwed, so the high temp goes fine with them. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 209642 | 2004-01-24 08:35:00 | lol btw another free one that works ok. here (http://vcool.occludo.net/) |

| 209643 | 2004-01-24 08:37:00 | also mejobloggs....if it is reporting the temps correctly it could explain your crashing....overheating ram. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 209644 | 2004-01-25 05:45:00 | I was using the option where is puts the processor into some ACPI low power mode when its idle rather than just using HLT, which explains why the heatsink was cold. But I agree the readings are a bit dodgy given the room temp was 21c. | bmason (508) | ||
| 209645 | 2004-01-25 07:07:00 | I also now have a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ authenticAMD ~1667Hhz with 256mb memory And mine only run at CPU: 53c System: 38c |
