System temps
I just built a new system with a XP 2500 (with retail cooler), Abit
NF7-M, Antec SL450, and Compucase LX-6A19 with a 120mm fan in the rear. The monitoring software from Abit gives a system temp of 32C and CPU temp of 47-48C at idle, which gives a difference of 15-16C. I also checked it with Mother Board Monitor and it says the same. I also checked the temps with the side panel off and they only dropped 1C! OTOH my computer with an AMD 750 reports a system temp of 25C and a CPU temp of 39C, which gives a difference of 14C. I even tested both of them with CPU burn-in. After 15 minutes both topped out at 50C. So what gives? Is the 2500 really running this hot or are the temp sensors faulty? Any other ideas how to verify one way or the other? |
