138374 2003-04-24 04:25:00 i have a 2GHZ celeron, cpu temp is 9 C is this to low it goes up to 11.5C on load.Cold room ok cooling.

Is this to low maybe not working right.

138375 2003-04-24 04:32:00 Sounds like its taking a false reading somewhere!

138376 2003-04-24 04:38:00 How are you measuring the temperature?

On board sensors are an "indication only" and would not be expected to be accurate.

I have a specialised temperature measuring meter, and that cost more than the average Motherboard ($200), yet is still only correct within a couple of degrees.

The temperature sensing components on a motherboard are worth about $5 in all probability, therefore treat any readings accordingly.

138377 2003-04-24 04:43:00 i have CPUCool9 and HWDoctor software and they had the same temp. BootyLicious (526)
138378 2003-04-24 04:45:00 Your CPU might be underclocked.... a lot. agent (30)

They will be reporting the temperature from the on board temperature sensor.

Unless you have physically opened up the case, removed the heatsink, inserted a special flat sensor on the CPU die, and refitted everything then they are reporting from the motherboard based sensor.

Don't assume its correct in this case. It *might* be, but it could also be 10 degrees out. Or more. Mine was about 7 degrees out.

138380 2003-04-24 08:18:00 There is obviously a problem with the sensor and/or its circuitry as those temperatures are even below room temperature let alone case temperature, so they dont mean a thing ]:) Terry Porritt (14)
138381 2003-04-26 03:11:00 They must be true, Terry. They are computer measurements. ]:) Graham L (2)
138382 2003-04-26 06:51:00 I often have a quiet chuckle over some of your comments Graham. Because I dont always respond doesn't mean I haven't read them :)

If those readings are correct, then it may mean that the computer is extracting heat from it's surroundings and perhaps transmitting it into the vastness of cyberspace. Who knows, if left running long enough ice may even form around the cpu. ]:)

138383 2003-04-26 08:00:00 So what sort of cooling are you using on the CPU.

Could be entirely possible with LN2 or a VapoChill
