Please Look At My Hardware Temps

Im a bit worried about my computer hardware temperatures, please take a look at them. My Mainboard and CPU 1 temperatures are normal but CPU2 tempertures are very high, BTW I dont have another CPU why is it showing up then and what is it measuring? also the core and Aux look very high, as it is showing up red, I also dont know what Aux or Core means, if someone could explain it to me. Also even though some of the temperatures look high they never seem to exceed, the temperatures always are the same, even if the PC is left on for 10 hrs, and it has never given me any problems before, so to me it looks normal. I just wanted to check it over. I also tried other benchmark appz they all show the same stats.

Please take a look at the screenshot (screenshot.JPG)

thanks for your help

 

Your CPU temp is really nice. What kind of cooling are you using, and what kind of chip is it?

As for the cpu2 temp what is that refering to? A diode under the cpu, next to the hsf? Are they onboard sensors?

Im sorry i cant help out with the voltages. I dont know much about them.

I would suggest going into your bios anc checking the temps, and voltages there. The information in the bios will be the most accurate, and you can compare them with the results you are getting from that program.

more info:

Sorry guys, I actuaslly took a look at my TEMPS In The Bios and they are more accuarate, damn proggies neve show anything accurate

anyways CPU temp is usually around 40-60 degrees, overall system temp is around 32 degrees

as for cooling

one heatsink
one fan on PSU (well no duh)
One small fan near Mobo

tas about it

PC hardware:

athlon xp 2000+ 1.67ghz
256mb ram
mobo = k7s5a
GPU = nvidia geforce 4 mx 420 64mb

I still need those questions answered

 

maybe you can tell us what you're running? i can assume you're running an amd cpu by looking at the voltage, but what about motherboard?

as for the temps, 32C for both ambient and cpu seems very suspicious, since it's theoretically impossible without extreme cooling. 61C makes more sense to be cpu temp, but unless it's under full load, even that seems innaccurate. Here's what you can do: open up the case and test the temperature around the cpu, then GROUND YOURSELF and touch the metal part of the heatsink. if it is really hot, then the 61C is right, and you really need to do something about it. although it's not an immediate danger, dust can build up and the processor may have an untimely death.

aux seems like memory voltages, which seems all right. as for core, if you are running an amd athlon non-64, then the voltages are all right, but i'll need to know what cpu your're running.

 

uh... ok, so you beat me

core voltage (whcih is cpu voltage) seems just fine, but 40-60c? where does it settle at?

 

60 degrees

thanks for your help

No problem; glad to help

anyhow, let me reiterate what i was *trying* to say because i'm not the best at explaining things. 60C is on the high side, and should definitely be treated as a threat to the early expiration of a CPU, but athlons can take a bit more heat than that. I recommend you bring down the temps a little by installing some more fans (computers nowadays really need those things; they get so hot) and/or using some arctic silver between the heatsink and the cpu.

but odds are, your motherboard is reporting some inaccurate temps. the ECS motherboard is the only one made by ecs (afaik) that actually works on a regular basis, but i wouldn't trust any info that the motherboard spits out, including the temp, but either way, it's a good idea to do what i said above to simmer down the computer.

 

lol I just need the damn pc to last me 2 more years, then im gonna throw the hunk o' crap out the window
