This was exactly what I was thinking... Of course, it's a sample of one, his temps are out of this world and he's having some memory issues...Quote:

i'm at 65c dual prime (coretemp) with 1.3875v with a TT BT + Panaflo (I know its probably 20-25c off)
what is the hottest one of these should get? 65nm sounds really cool running, but we are hitting 70s?
i thought if an amd 90nm you want under 50c at all times, then youd want absolute max of 50c load on the conroe, am i wrong?

I too will be putting mine under water cooling as an interim solution until the Swiftech socket 775 peltier blocks are back in stock. My water block won't arrive until tomorrow and I won't be able to assemble my rig until early next week. I will report my findings then:)
yep victor, its a big disappoint form the EXTEME chipQuote:

It has good contact. I've reseated the thing multiple times. It's tight. 70C peak under dual prime95 is what I'm getting. There's still some tweaking to do, and I'm not ready to give up yet =)
And note the above: I have yet to see a single person with a Conroe on BadAxe say my temps are too high, in fact the consensus appears to be the board is just whacked.
But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to try a few things.
I have a bad axe at work. running stock heatsink, stock volts and speeds w/ an pent d. it idles at 80deg c in the bios. the temps are way off. it may vary from board to board, but doen't put much faith in the temp readings. And I happen to work at the company that makes the hardware monitoring chip on this board... lol. only way it will ever get fixed it if people compain to intel, who would then send boards back to smsc for failure analysis... if it isn't bios related.
EDIT: then again, if it were bios related you would think they would all vary that same amount... guess it is the chip, or whatever/if any components are used with it.
The badaxe and the asus seem to suffer the same high temp reading. Wonder if they both use the same monitoring chip?Quote:

But this time it is running at 66C under load at 3.466 ghz - dual prime95 stable at default voltage. I selected the voltage slope option in the BIOS - and that seems to have given me rock solid stability at 3.466 ghz, but no further - no amount of voltage gets me anywhere with prime95, even when I change the fsb by 1% up.
My machine won't post anymore at 3.733 either.:confused:
The motherboard recognizes when I go to set for 1333 bus but in windows it is ignored :rolleyes:
From what i know...Bad Axe reports, at least, +10º...
I also have a x6800 in my hand i ordered from monstronix on tues.They were very nice people to deal with.Iam still trying to make up my mind on a mothboard thou.It looks to be the same as redpriest.

What did intel do to these b2 steppings? My dreams of 3.6g on air are fleeting fast. nah I hopes its just the crappy retail fan holding you back.
Didn't i see a pic of two processors side by side with one being slightly thicker/taller than the other...was that a conroe and older LGA775 chip or something completely different?
If it was, could this height difference be responsible for bad connections?
That was a Conroe (Dual Core) compared to a Kentsfield (Quad Core).Quote:

Double post, but I can confirm the Bad Axe reports 16c degrees higher then the real temp for me on my E6600. A good example, with my Noctua and the E6000 at 3.7 1.45 vcore, the BIOS reads 45c on idle, but my temp probe reads 29c. I have also heard of others (FCG mostly) that it can be off on the temps up to 20c to high.
Freez that nice cpu and it will transform to 4.5Ghz monster:) ...Probly more:toast:
Believe me buddy, I can't wait for my socket 775 prometia adapter to get here; I am too lazy to adapt something for it =P
Have you tried touching the heatsink to see if it's really hot? If the CPU really was as hot as it's reporting, you would be able to tell from the heatsink.
