Default Another startling discovery: AMD's cool & quiet doesn't work and does exactly the opposite ?!?

It's been running for 4 hours now or so.

The cpu temperature is 34 degrees celcius or 93 fahrenheit.
The mb temperature is 32 degrees celcius or 89 fahrenheit.
The room temperature is 23 degrees (though perhaps sensor not super
accurate, lamp is on and sun shining on shades)
The graphics card temperature is 38 to 39 degrees or 100 fahrenheit.

I watch some video's, surfed some web, and make a picture in paint =D

The room temperature was 22.5 degrees and is now 23 degrees, a 0.5 degree
incrementation.

While the motherboard was 29 to 30 to 31 degrees which is now 32 degrees, 1
to 2 to 3 degrees rising.

So at least double the rise of temperature. (1 full degree celcius)

However the difference between CPU temperature and motherboard temperature
is very minimal only 2 degrees difference.

I suspect most of the heat in the case is coming from the graphics card
which is passively cooled, only a heatsink.

These temperatures ain't bad, it far from bad... it's actually quite good !

And voltages are stable at least they should be.

I wonder why the double rise of temperature. As far as I can tell there is
no dust build up yet so that can't be it.

Perhaps room temperature is slightly different on both sides, this could
explain the 0.5 celcius difference.

So far I am happy with these temperatures, I wonder what a hot summer will
bring, probably just 4 degrees extra.

I still haven't done any heavy gaming, so that remains to be seen as well

I guess that would add a few degrees extra as well, so then close to 40
degrees, which is still 5 degrees better than previous build, but this is
speculation so far

Bye,
Skybuck.
