What's the default core voltage for an AMD XP 3200+?
Not a 64 chip, just a regular barton 400fsb 3200+.
I thought it was 1.65 but my mainboard seems to be setting it higher by default. can anyone clarify please? |

Thanks
the motherboard is setting it to 1.65 but the voltage diagnostics sofware (and the bios voltage monitor) reports it as being higher than this.

Very often the actual voltage will be something other than nominal; as long as it's within 5% of nominal (excluding overclocking of course), there should be no problem.

The Barton and Thoroughbred cores aren't listed here, but it seems in most cases, where it does list the voltage swing, the CPU has a +- 0.1V tolerance, which comes out to be around 6%. So I stand corrected: it should be 6%. http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm "ICee" wrote in message ... +c0re- wrote: Not a 64 chip, just a regular barton 400fsb 3200+.

It's an nforce2 board, and the nvidia utitily that came with it has those
little charts, with the yellow line showing the "ideal" voltage and a red one showing what I assume to be the upper limit of the tolerance. My Vcore was substatially into the red, but I've set it to lower now, and the voltage sensors report it as being 1.65. No stability issues either it seems. thanks for the help!

Having just build my first amd system for a few years, I'm not really sure
what the average CPU temperature I should expect is. I saw in some specs that the max is 85 degrees C but that sounded very warm to me. Mine idles at around 48, under load it goes up to around 55, does this sound about normal for a 3200+, and an average cooler? (cooler is rated for 3200+). thanks for any input. |

Hi, the load temp looks about right, but the idle temp is a bit high. I did notice that with cheap heatsinks, that they can do an fair job of keeping the CPU from getting crazy hot at load *but* they can't seem to lower the temp of the CPU when idle. I have built three AMD XP systems (2x 2500+, 1x XP2400 - 2x NF7-S, 1x AN7) and on two of them I used a Aero 7 LITE, and the third I used one of the retail fans that came with the Bartons (with a small copper circle slug) and I lapped all heatsinks and installed them with AS/3. All of them were overclocked to 11x200~2.2GHz with added vCore, but all systems were built with ANTEC case, a few 80mm fans and 25°C system temps :P. Load temps averaged 48-55°C (The XP2400+ needed 1.825vCore!) but the idle temps were 33-35°C. I don't think you have a *really* bad problem or anything, I just wanted to let you know there is room for improvement when your ready :P -- Wayne ][ |
