| 410998 | 2005-12-08 03:52:00 | I have just assembled a computer, with an MSI K7N2 Delta Mobo, and a Socket A Sempron 2400+ CPU. Installation of the CPU and bundled heatsink went fine. The BIOS PC Health and the bundled mobo monitoring software report the CPU temperature to be ~50 deg Celsius. I know this is a bit warm, as other, similar computers I knowhave a CPU temp constantly around 30-35. I have not overclocked my CPU, and I'm only (for now) running Win98 and playing MP3s on it, not exactly strenuous tasks. While running, the temperature of the heatsink is cool to touch. I've judged that the problem is: a) A faulty motherboard thermoresistor b) A faulty heatsink Which of these is the most likely? |

| 411001 | 2005-12-08 05:55:00 | my spare 'work' pc is a sempron 2400 with stock heatsink/fan and it runs at 49-50 ............the heatsink alwyas feels cool tho to touch.......i'm not worried it's fine......... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 411002 | 2005-12-08 07:47:00 | There is no temperature diode built into the Semptron or XP processors in the same way as AMD64 or Intel. A lot depends on how a maunufactures bios calculates the temperature, IE A Asus motherboard may read 35C and a Gigabyte 50C, however there "true actuall" core temperatures are exactly the same. If it sounds Mickey Mouse.... it is and was fixed in later AMD processors. 50C is probably fine, if your not having problems don't attempt to fix it. |
