X2 Temps Compare
So, I'm hoping to get some temp comparison info for my AMD X2 4200+. It seems to be running pretty hot, but multiple reappliactions of AS5 + heatsink haven't made any difference. Anyway, here it goes:
Equipment:
AMD X2 4200+ ~@1.35V
CNPS7000B-AlCu /w AS5 @1350RPM - 2600RPM (>45C)
Room Temp: 29C
Idle Temp (CnQ): 36C
Idle Temp: 42C
50-60% usage (1 core plus background): 54C
Full Load (Prime 95 x2 ): 58C
Now, the idle temps don't bother me a lot considering the room temp, but the change in temps seems rather large compared to what I've read online about the heatsink I have. Anyone else have something comparable?

I'm not sure if this will be much help, but my X2 4400+ idles at 25C with Cool 'n Quiet turned off. It was about 23C in the room when I checked. I ran prime95 and saw the temp top out around 40C. Of course, my PC sounds like an air conditioner thanks to 3 120mm fans. I always thought that the stock fan/heatsink was plenty, what with its monster size and four copper heat pipes. Hope that helps.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure at this point it's just a craptacular motherboard temperature sensor. I can stick my fonger at the base the the heatsink and it feels barely above room temperature ( which isn't the case with the VGA cooler I have when the reported temps for it are nearly the same as the CPU).

My 3800+ usually idles around 34C and under load hits 40C with the cpu fan set to 50%. Usually works out to be about 29-30C and 35C respectively with the fan on full blast.
Yours does seem to be a bit high but then I thought that of a 3500+ that was idleing at 45C but runs perfectly.
