Cpu temps below zero...

Hey guys,

like you maybe saw already in post a pic of your pc, I've finally mount my waterblock on my athlon and tested it.

This is the result:

1 core has a huge difference in temp, it goes below zero when idling...
The water from the tab is 4-5°c, weird.
When I had my old stock cooler on it, it was idle: core1/core2->19/37, load: 41/56
Also I big difference!

I measured the temperatures with 2 programs (hwmonitor CPUID and hwinfo), both say exactly the same.

What could be causing this weird temps? Or is just 1 core (the abnormal one) having a problem monitoring the temp?
Do you know other programs to monitor temp? Realtemp and Coretemp don't support the athlon.

try the program speccy, its just not giving you the core temps, but the cpu temp.

I got several programs doing that.

Anyway, another picture.

pc wizard seems to measure it right. But when I run 1 core 100%, the 2 temps stay almost identical :S
Max temp is 25°c on both cores says pcwizard.
 
I'm trying to recall if any programs allow for offset... I know I've had similar issues with my server (Athlon II 170u) reading WAY too low but I never bothered too much as it does no real processing :P

The bios should have something in it regardless of the age...unless it's some manufactuers board (made for HP or whatever). Is that the case? It might be worth trying a bios upgrade or finding manufactures temp monitoring software for the board (if not OEM)

It's an MSI board, but made as OEM in a MEDION machine, BIOS is locked, so I'm not able to upgrade I think...
 
the offset seems rather normal or locked, probably would go off the higher of the two temps, as those chips sometimes ran warm
 
AMD onboard sensor has never been really good at idle temps. At least it never has played well with programs, mostly will always read lower then what it really is. The lower your real idle temp is the more it will exaggerate it.
 
What motherboard are you using? I had a similar issue. I just used msi overlocking center which seems to have the correct tempature BUT its still a awful prgram. Gives me incorrect volatages, frequencies and tells me I only have once core. Gives me wrong multiplier fsb speeds and wrong motherboard voltages as well lol. Since then ive decided overclocking from bios is best xD. Does you mobo show tempatures from bios? And another thing worth trying (not likely to help but still worth trying) you could update ur mobo bios to the newest one and see if that helps.

Did you read the entire thread?
 
i skimmed through it, just reread it now, ok, no need to be a jerk? Could have just pointed it out to me and told me that it was already mentioned.

Sometimes you learn something more by being embarrassed than having someone tell you it has already been asked. :P
 
Simple question, can this msi oem board actually use a dual core processer?, or is it for a sinle cpu only,
i know the programs see it but does the m/b bios see it
