hi everyone.
my temps are 30c idle and 58c full load (p95 both cores after several hours), checked with everest, oc'd to 2.55
i know these are in the accpetable tolerances posted by amd, are they reasonable?

i have arctic silver 5 coming, figure that may drop it 4-5c, so i can go up to like 2.7 (was getting up to 60-61c at that speed w/out it...little too hot for me).
will try the a.s.5 before buying a zalman.
opinions?

p.s. may be a dumb question...
but i have read that temp programs can be unreliable. is there any way to get into the bios while the cpu is loaded to get the actual temp?

thanks
 
Well since your board is am2 I think everest should work. The only way to kinda see if it is right is to go to bios and let the computer set for a second and monitor the idle temp. then boot up and let it settle down and compare eversts idle temp.
 
good idea. i suppose that if the idle temp in everest is the same as my bios reading, i can ***-u-me that the loaded temp will be the same as well?
