CPU Temperature? by Caboose on 11-23-2004 at 04:01 AM
I wouldn't mind overclocking my CPU (AMD Athlon XP 2000+) a little bit, but I don't want to overheat. I have no clue what my CPU temp is, or how to find out. Any suggestions (preferably software based)?

If your BIOS supports it, use Motherboard Monitor (MBM).

Note: Over clocking doesn't just effect temperature - if you overclock it too much you can damage the CPU, shorten its life or cause errors. If you don't know what you're doing, then don't Over Clock your CPU.

My motherboard isn't on there. Hhmm... 
And yes, I'm pretty sure I know how to overclock. I've read many things on Newoin and I've gathered up information. Besides, I'm adventurous and I've tweaked MANY things before... even had to reinstall my OS a couple times too 
[EDIT]: I may have found my motherboard on there after all
Excuse the double post.
OK, I got it installed. My case temp is 57 degrees (celsius) and my CPU temp is around 40-45 degrees (celsius). I have read that my CPU temp should not exceed 50 or 55 degrees.
Now, just to be sure, I'm supposed to go into my BIOS and increase my Front Side Bus speed a little at a time, correct?

The highest temperature (57 degrees celcius) is always ur cpu (core) temp I thought.......
If you want to try another easy program for ur temperatures:
Speedfan

Well, it says 'Case 57 degrees C' so... yeah.
Also, I went into my BIOS and couldn't find anything worthwhile to change... any pointers?

Not all BIOS'es support overclocking. It depends on ur manufactuer of ur MB if there's overclocking software you can run in Windows.

Is 31 c ok for hd0 in speedfan ?
and is fan 1 (1.29 rpm)
fan 2 2.29
its not overclocked is this normally
RE: CPU Temperature? by user13774 on 11-23-2004 at 04:48 PM
HD0 is ur harddisk. And 31 is fine I think. My hd0 is 42 C.
That fan speed must be wrong... cuz for me Fan 1 (my only fan shown in Speedfan) is my cpu fan and it says 4383 RPM.
I don't know what ur fan 2 is... casefan maybe?

yeh proble is it just can't find the right rpm most likly
RE: CPU Temperature? by .blade// on 11-23-2004 at 05:21 PM
Ya, something's not reading properly (a fan running at 1 RPM would do a whole lot of good 
)
RE: CPU Temperature? by uberdosis on 11-23-2004 at 07:09 PM
Ive never had anyproblems with speedfan.
So there is nothing in your bios ? No where to change FSB, Multi, vcore ? Also is your bois version up to date?
RE: CPU Temperature? by Caboose on 11-23-2004 at 07:14 PM
Well, there's nothing that I saw that would be used to overclock. I'll check again later though.
I also have no clue how to update my BIOS

how to u check to see and were do u get the update if it is out of date?
windows update?
RE: CPU Temperature? by Caboose on 11-23-2004 at 10:22 PM
Na, Windows Update doesn't have it. Maybe if I google it...

though not what do u type in google?
my computer is only about 2 month old so i think it should be up to date
RE: CPU Temperature? by Caboose on 11-23-2004 at 10:29 PM
I typed in the manufacturer of my BIOS (American Megatrends) and I came up with this page
All I can say is:
RE: CPU Temperature? by uberdosis on 11-24-2004 at 01:29 AM
just leave it then.
RE: CPU Temperature? by Caboose on 11-24-2004 at 01:31 AM
Meh, alright. Damn this middle aged processor of mine!
