AMD 6400+ Black Edition - Idle Temps.

[Sgrios]

What should a AMD 6400+ Black Edition's Idle temps. be? My core 0 is much hotter then then my core 1. Is there any reason for this?

[sirheck]

I see a variation in my core temps but not as much as yours.
I usually see 1 to 4c difference.

The total wattage of the 6400 (being a 90nm) is 125watts stock
I believe. It will go up if you oc it.

This is my first dual-core. Has anyone else seen these 'large' differences from Core: 0 to Core: 1? Would the CPU cooler be the issue here?

For some reason I don't see that as a possibility, but..

[Brother Esau]

Mine idles at 31c and other core at 26c

[Sgrios]

Okay, well that makes me feel better.

On AMD's site.. I cannot for the life of me find the maximum temperature for this CPU. Does anyone have a ball park figure for me?

[Brother Esau]

60c is pretty standard for AMD CPU Just keep it below that below 50c would be better and you are good to go:) The answer you seek is 60c;)

[Sgrios]

@Esau - Thank you very much for your replies.

45c core 0, 38c core 1.
100% load for a hour.

What are your temps. with the Tuniq Tower 120 Esau? If you don't mind me asking of course..

my idle is usually around 28 and 32~34 back and forth. yes I have noticed a bigger difference between the cores on this cpu from what i have seen.

I just lapped mine ...probably shaved off a mm or so and now gonna see the difference

[Sgrios]

Let me know, I'll check the thread you have going.
When do you plan to do some testing?

What cooler are you using ZL1killa?

[Brother Esau]

@3520 100% LOAD Prime95 is 45c:)

where to find this overdrive, would it work on my system in sig?

Only AMD 7-Series chipsets ?????

:banana::banana::banana::banana: 60C. You can go as high as you want, I seriously doubt you are able to burn the CPU if you have any common sense. The CPU will most probably crash your system before it fries anyway.

You still may want to stay below 100C though.

You probably have a bolt down cooler, that is placed slightly out of balance.

You might want to retry using a tool that measures how far you bolted every screw down better than just the eye. You can take a piece of paper and cut a corner off for example.

water cooling... swiftech storm rev2 for the cpu and the mcr220. along with the mcw60 for the gpu. 1950xtx.

now running two radiators...temps to update

Not really great advice to be giving brother man:rolleyes: Rule of thumb keep it below 60c while priming :up:

one core is slightly hotter than another because it's running for windows process and the other one is probably completely idle.

Definitely NOT how it works, Windows threading capabilities aren't nearly that good. Actual processes flip around between cores seemingly at random. the power path of a chip draws more heavily from one physical side of the CPU is part of the answer combined with the fact that the electronics for measuring temperature simply aren't all that well calibrated. I bet a true probe would find less variance no matter what is being reported to software.

[naokaji]

that temp difference seems a bit too high to me... did you try to reseat the cooler with some fresh thermalpaste?

[Sgrios]

I'll get on that. I wonder if the cooler could used to be lapped?

Would it harm the CPU if I were to run it in it's current state, with that temp difference?

[ZL1Killa]

as long as you don't approach 50C you are fine regardless.

I have lapped my 6400+ BE and PREVIOUSLY had noticed a good 3C temp difference between the two cores.

now they are within 1-2C, as also when i lapped it i noticed that it wasn't fully flat to begin with, but man was that a bear sanding that a little and lapping it.
