"Core Temp" - CPU Temerature monitoring tool

[The Coolest]

Looks good

Just got my 9650 going tonight...Using fusion 120.3 to cool just the cpu...

Here are my temps
32/27/27/29 1.49V Windows...

Cpu is a 39A 12/07

Those are great temperatures gmod
Glad to hear you have yours up and running now Ace-a-Rue
Sadly my RMA isn't quite going to plan.
The courier (which the e-tailer provided) decided to take the package to the wrong end of the country (misrouted), They got it to the right location today.
However the bad news is that now the QX9650 is out of stock (was in stock right up until today) and now I have to wait upto 6weeks
Oh well
John
PS can't belive how fast the QX9650 is compared to my Northwood @ 3.4Ghz

Hey Arthur
Someone on another forum as an AMD X2 and his core temps are a bit odd.

That is on stock air cooling, any suggestions?
The CPU-Z dump file is here
Keep up the good work

MAN...sorry to hear it!...maybe in 6 weeks you will get a great replacement...my replacement is NOT as good as the original...i am at 200 mhz less than i was before...4200 versus 4400 mhz.

Brisbanes always give very low readings and wrong, nothing new.

Thanks Arthur
Is this due to dodgy diode placement on their cores?

That sucks, perhaps you need a BIOS update or something as your CPU might be a binned QX9770 or QX9775. I'm hoping I don't have to wait that long.
It's really weird how a processor less than a few weeks later than the other one does not clock as well, back in the day it used to be the steppings which determined big differences. ie M0 vs D1 Northwoods or G0 vs B3 Core2Quad.
Q/C issues at Intel?
Lets hope not

the idle temps at 4200 mhz with this coolit freezone elite are good but when i load the cores up with wPrime 1024M bench...it is on par with my TRUE...amazing, a $400 cooling system can't beat out the TRUE heatsink...hehehe

i can pump the mhz up to 4300 but it won't boot at 4400 mhz...it shuts down like an overtemp is occurring.

Thanks Arthur

I'm not sure if this is of interest to anyone, but I found this in Intel's site Re: the QX9650

AV30. Programming the Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) Threshold May Cause
Unexpected Thermal Interrupts

Problem: Software can enable DTS thermal interrupts by programming the thermal
threshold and setting the respective thermal interrupt enable bit. When
programming DTS value, the previous DTS threshold may be crossed. This
will generate an unexpected thermal interrupt.

From Specification Update Document

Hmmmm
