I have been readiong this forum for quite some time, and noticed alot of people with AMD cpu temp qustions.
It appears that my system is quite hot from most or all replys, My config on my system is = Gigabyet GA-7VM400M using Via kt-333/400 chipset, cpu is a XP2200, system memory 512 samsung pc2100/266mhz..
My system on a cold boot cpu temp is aprox: 58 C. and warmed at an idle 61 C. under load 65 C. meanwhile system temp remains a fairly constant 44 C. So I went to amd's web site and there white papers stated that max Die temp is 85 C. now I would assume there being somewhat cautious, but after reading several post seems to me the users have a better idea what the cpu temp should be in a working enviroment than the lab rats working in a controlled temperature ,and dust free Lab..
So my question is like most of what ive seen on here Guess I just want some reassurance and advise as to how I can lower my cpu temp ( I already have a huge heatsink, and a cpu fan the size of a jet engine trying to keep this puppy from random OS failures..
I do not know how to lower my cpu core voltage and in my bios they only show how to increase it ( right now its at the default) Is there a software program out there I can get to lower it ?
please advise.
Thanks Jmweber
