| 156348 | 2003-06-30 07:20:00 | Hi. I have just installed a Chaintech 7NJL1 Motherboard. I am running a AMD XP 1800, and i'm using the same HSF (with some new grease) as in my old PC (cpu @ 40C) I plugged it in - straight away, its 69C. I switched off - re-applyed HSF/grease - still the same. I don't know why it is like this - anyone have an idea? PS - i'm not overclocking it as well. Cheers |

| 156349 | 2003-06-30 07:42:00 | what was your old cpu? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 156350 | 2003-06-30 07:50:00 | That sounds a bit too hot even for an AMD. Suggest maybe post at overclockers.co.nz where there's more specialist commentary on cooling/overheating issues. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 156351 | 2003-06-30 08:02:00 | Is the cooler sitting on the core correctly? I believe some can get propped up on the raised bit with SOCKET### on it. |

| 156352 | 2003-06-30 08:15:00 | I was using exactly the same CPU (1800) on my old M/B. I just refitted the HSF - still same. Its currently running at 73C (from Digidoc) I'll try OCNZ I've had two thoughts from mates: 1. Could just be a problem misreading - bios might be misreading temp - but i disagree with this - as the case temp has got up to 50C after a few hrs running - and the air temp inside the case is pretty hot. 2. Could be a BIOS problem - one mate said he got a new M/B, cpu was hot, updated BIOS - temp dropped 20-30C. Any thoughts? Cheers |

| 156353 | 2003-06-30 08:17:00 | My cpu temp used to say about 76c, got a bios update which fixed it, but ran fine. If the the heatsink is on properly it could just be an incorrect reading. Also are you sure it's not 69 farenheight(cant spell) because that is 20C | rsnic (3780) | ||
| 156354 | 2003-06-30 08:46:00 | Remember the temperature sensors on the motherboard are not calibrated devices, they are a *very approximate* indicator only. It would not be surprising to see a 10 degree error. Or more? Considering that a temperature measuring probe that is accurate to within a couple of degrees will cost more than the whole motherboard, you do get what you pay for in on-board sensors. |

| 156355 | 2003-06-30 10:46:00 | check what senors the boards use. the old board could be useing the under cpu sensor and the new board may use the sensor in the cpu which naturally will read a lot higher. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 156356 | 2003-07-01 06:08:00 | Hi. Tweak'e, how do I check what sensors they are usiing? Is it a something i can see on the baord? or can i check in the BIOS? cheers |

| 156357 | 2003-07-01 10:29:00 | the manuals should say what sensors it uses. you may need to use a prog like adia32 or mbm to see what sensor its useing. | tweak'e (174) | ||
