That's true, some could. My 9500 didn't, checked how I'm supposed to. Can't modify this one, so no way to check.Originally Posted by justapost
The sensor might simply scale wrong and have an too low offset. Someone should drill a hole in his phenom and put a probe in there.
If the scaling was wrong, you can find this out using a DMM pretty easily. Heatsink can't be 70C if the chips internally below 85C real now, can it?Compare that to my heatsink temperature now, it's idling (let me check)... 27C, ambient 20C, EVEREST (etc) reads 24C.

BTW, in case you didn't know, Dell has configured a lineup offering of tri-core and quad-core K10h products it'll be offering mainly for businesses it seems and Kyoto University recently ordered 1,664 Barcelona Opteron quad-cores for a supercomputer.

That's actually much better than what most expected, incl. myself. It ultimately means the major dealers and buyers don't share our outlook and it's positive for AMD.
Check out AMD's Markham Lab details here: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/36094/135/
And here's latest and best version of Memtest86+ so far, updated to support much more hardware: http://infomars.fr/forum/index.php?showtopic=1522

Also you can disable cores using CPU-Z incase you didn't know.
EDIT ->
I'm not sure Achim. What you describe as freeze is what I witness here and describe as that too. But I suppose hang/freeze/lockup are describing the same thing as a user observes: applications and computer stop responding and move out of user control but are still powered on, i.e. optical drive will open/close.
BTW, the new Cat 8.2 drivers are great. Fix many bugs, this was an update worthwhile. I'd move into it if I was you.
