Default 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?

1.65V. What is the MB setting it to?

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.

How did you arrive at 5%?

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%.

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
