I recently switched to a 64 and immediately hooked up my prommy to it. Now I'm picking up a CPU temperature of -22 to -24 degrees unloaded via motherboard monitor on my NF4. The display on my Mach 2 reads 48 degrees though, so that's a delta of 24 degrees!! Is that bad??
My old XP-M would normally sit in the mid to late negative twenties when oc'd to 2800 Mhz. I can't remember what voltage that was though. It didn't normally rise up much, maybe to late negative tens. This chip however can get as high as -4. I did put a lot of thermal goo (ceramique instead of the as5 I used to use on my XP-M) because I didn't really know how to deal with the heatspreader and coverage. I tightened up the screws as tight as they'll go and the processors now chilling at 2-4 degrees less than it was after my first mounting.
What I find odd though is that with my XP-M chip, the front of my prommy *never* read below 40 degrees. It'd normally han around the -36 degree mark, in fact I'd wondered if it'd been losing a bit of its power over the last few months but now it goes and surprises me!!
Any ideas?
