Yeah, I tried to do so. But can't really do it. I set my vcore to 1.1v (minimum) and my CPU to 1200 MHz (multi of 6 with FSB of 200/800).Originally Posted by Trigger5521
According to the calibration document, my cpu should idle at these settings at +6-7 above room temp (room temp is 21.9c this morning) or even less since this is a 45nm cpu. Yet I'm still idling at 42c (the same as at full speed and voltage). Since the calibration only allows a max value of +/-3, calibration isn't an option for me as I can't get anywhere near the target of 29c idle temp (21.9+7).
So, I think I'm about ready to just chalk this up to faulty sensors and/or other odness. There's someone over on [H] that is getting nearly identical readings as me with a Tuniq Tower.
The fact that the CPU returns to idle temp quickly from load temp and that the load temp is only +10-12c different from idle persuades me a bit that the cooler and as5 are applied correctly. So would you all agree that it's just time to stop worrying and ignore these temp readings?
