What a friendly answer
I'm not here to make friends or enemies. I just like to see correct
answers. You didn't provide one. That simple really.
Yes indeed: W83697HF..and yes...I know a little bit about
sensorchips...not that it is a very interesting topic, but...
Cool, so you know how to spot your mainboard on a list provieded by
MBM5+. That is nbot very difficult and was done by me as well.
There you go again with the wrong answer. If you check the MBM MB list,
you won't find my board listed on it (unless it's been added in the last
couple of days). It's a Jetway S755MAX. Now go look. If you had looked
first, you could have saved yourself some embarrassment. This might piss
you off, but you represent one of the main reasons I even bother with
NG's. People that come in and state crap as facts.
Another interesting fact is, that you don't know anything about modern
mainboards (I don't think the Abit KT7 is a brandnew one..I think I've
had a KT7 myself back in the ol' days of manually searching for
sensorchips. Fact is that the MSI K8T-Neo does have a featured software
called "Core Center" which uses, guess which, the same ol' sensorchip
than MBM5+ does when you choose the K8T-Neo FSR, the W83697HF. The fact
that I was speaking about in my first post was that MBM5+ and MSI Core
Center show different temperatures although using the same chip.
Why are you even mentioning the KT7. I gave those away over a year ago.
I only keep it in my sig line to show people that the KT133 chipset is not
a limiting factor in upgrading the CPU, as all the manufactures sate they
won't work with XP cpu's. I'm currently using the A64 which should have
been obvious from my previous post of the A64 MB I'm using. You really
don't pay much attention do you. As for your board, I really don't care.
it was your statement about running the A64 at up 74C was why I replied.
That's about the worst advice I've seen in here. And even though the CPU
should shut down before it gets there, I felt I had to correct that before
someone actually listened to your bad advice and left their cpu running at
extremely high temps.
Absolutely right...in fact that your CPU won't last longer than 5-10
seconds with 95 C while at 85 C it is still capable of booting and
shutting down.
I like your perserverence. Presented with the facts you try and turn them
into your favor. But since you now seem to agree wirth this, how can you
explain telling the OP not to worry as long as his temps are under 75C. I
was going to quote it here, but it seems to have been edited out by one
of us. I may have done it myself, but don't recall. I better go find it
though.......Ok here it is.
"Fact is that I don't give a thing about CPU temperature as long as there
aren't any lockdowns or graphic arrors. AMD 64 CPUs can hold up to 85 C
and anything below 75 should be a no-worry!"
Good luck for your overclocking experiments!
I don't need luck, but thanks anyway. And to be honest, I really don't
overclock, except to test. I actually underclock more than I overclock.
