Phenom 9750 @ 48C??

[mr1c3man]

I know summer is around the corner here in Sydney, Australia,

Which is why i decided to dorp my CPU clock from 2.9Ghz @ 1.289V to 2.8GHz @ 1.248V but the idle temp is 48C??? screenshot says 46 but thats CoreTemp its not very accurate, the BIOS temp is more accurate
I ran 2 instances of ConvertXtoDVD both set to IDLE priority and my PC blue screened after like 15min of encoding, i last saw the temp cap at 54C max but why??

in Winter i used to run it at 2.9Ghz @ 1.289V and i used to run 4 instances of ConvertX2DVD on idle and it didnt skip a beat. whats going on??

I'm wondering if the new cpu's have got a temperature bug.
My other 2 Phenoms were perfect yet I picked up a 9950 last week and it's showing idle temps of 18-19° and it's 25° inside.
Mine is obviously bugged which is a problem as I'm in outback W.A.

what were your idle temps in winter?? if you say high 20's to mid 30's on the cpu I would expect 46c in the summer.......your system has always run hot and you just didnt notice because it was winter.

in the winter you should be running high 17-19c to mid 20's.......then in the summer you would run mid to high 30's and im just going by my own voltages which Im running at 1.43v.

For you they should be just as good or better since you are running 1.25v

also list your case cooling, HS, and room temp?

I am at 40's with 1.375/3,2 ghz....
60's full, my old 9950 was at 20-25's idle

AOD red circle check if it's on that can increase temps 5C-12C

It sounds like your voltage may be too low for the 100MHz frequency drop. As for your temps, that doesn't sound off at all. Without a really good cooler, you should be expecting 60s even in an air-conditioned room. Great coolers like the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 will still probably get into the high 40s or 50s under load with an ambient of 20C.

With red cirlce on i get to 47....
But the true is damn cold.
Surely something's wrong with the chips...

[soundood]

voltage is tooo low, intel/AMD any chip for that matter that has been run on higher clocks, then dropped with a lowering of Vcore, in my experiance is asking for trouble.

set it back to what you had it at, or up Vcore to 1.3 min,

just to please my ram i have the IMC and Vcore @ 1.4, ram @ 2.2v running @ 2800 on a 9850BE

there is a thread here kicking around that went through testing too see high low it could go on Vcore, but i dont think it was ever stable.

i never get over looking at that 'AMD Girls' Avatar Leoy, wouldnt mind giving those two a blue screen, DEEEEERTY GIRLS !!!!

48° is just an extrapolation from an electronic data from a sensor, don't take care.
25° is not a logic temperature for an electronic component as powerfull (with 25°c ambiant), 48° is a lot more.

Yeah i guess my system HAS always run hot, but i guess now with the weather its even hotter. I got a CoolerMaster HyperTX2 (not the best coolers)
My case is a crappy one....but i got a good af at the back, and one on the side sucking air out, and i removed one of the DVDROM covers at the front to create air flow. my PC is stuck in a corner of the room, where there isnt much air flow.

I dont have AOD installed yet...but do i always have to click that GREEN button on everyday?

yeah you could be right.. anyway i dropped it further to FSB=233 and at 1.23V when i ran the dual encoding in ConvertXtoDVD it finished the encoding process WITHOUT the blue screen, and i monitored the temp in core temp where the temp maxed at 54C

SoundDood sounds right, but if i set it back to 1.3V i think that would cook my CPU.. and if i set it back to 1.28V that will give my CPU a load temp of ~65-66C which i have been told is bad for the CPU and a possible Idle temp of like 54C. But im here to take advice.. what do you think?

In Winter it ran at 1.28V @ 2.9Ghz for 3 months without a problem, at one time i ran 4 instances of ConvertXtoDVD and set to idle priority with no problems...i think its the heat. what should i do? Leave it at 2.76Ghz now?
my DRAM is now running at 380Mhz since i dropped the FSB from the original 401Mhz.

You might want to re-think your cooling solution. The heat sink in your sig runs ~9ºC hotter than a stock AM2 cooler according to this....

So shuld i put back the original X4 cooler?

So shuld i put back the original X4 cooler?

I got bored and lapped that thing lol it's SO shiny now, but I don't have a good camera to take a picture

I also did it to my Sempron but didn't get down to the copper on the IHS it's like a mirror now.

(ps I used 2,000 sandpaper on them)

HDT cooler like sunbeam CCF, silenx 120mm ,XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 are really good coolers
