There are two ways how to read Temperature with A7V333 : 1) Sockel Thermistaotr 2) Onchip Diode To access the 2) Temperature u need to have Motherboard Monitor 5 and read out the ASUS 2 ( CUSL2 ) Sensor Asus PcProbe reads from the Sockel Thermistator The Onchip Diode will deliver Temperatures around 8 C° higher than the Thermisator

I HAVE THE ASUS A7V266-EX MOBO AND THE XP2000+.I WAS USING THE VOLCANO 6CU+ AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS 53-60 CELCIUS (WITH THE WHITE HEAT THERMAL COMPOUND WHICH WAS INSIDE THE BOX).BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE NOISY (7000 RPM)I STARTED LOOKING FOR SOMETHING QUITER WHICH IT WOULD HAVE THE SOME OR BETTER PERFORMANCE.SO AFTER A WHILE I FOUND THE IGLOO 2400 WHICH HAS A BIGGER FAN (6cm AND 4800 RPM)AND IT USES SILVER HEAT COMPOUND.NOW MY TEMPERATURES ARE BETWEEN 49-54 CELCIUS AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY.NOTICE THAT THE A7V266-EX USES THE ON CHIP DIODE OF CALCULATING THE TEMPERATURE LIKE THE A7V333

I have a Athlon XP 1800 with Arctic Silver Thermal paste and Goliath SE. I'm getting an average 51C without overclocking. I guess the Athlon XP just runs hot.

Thinking about what Pvt_Marzipan said: I just installed a ASUS A7V333 with Athlon XP 2000+. My heatsinker is a Silverado (was new for me; big heatsinker with 2 vertical fans). Is the temperature indicated in the "hardware monitor" section of the BIOS the one coming from the Socket Thermistator or Onchip Diode?

Thats as well from the socket temp.

Hi all ! I have an Athlon XP 1700+ CPU , Fast Fame VIA Kt 266A board, 128 DDR 266 , GeForce 2 mx400 64 sdram. I am experiencing temps of 33 C at idle ( with Virtual Cool running !! ) and 53 C at full loaD !! Is that ok ? What are the recomanded values ? I have an aluminium 5400 rpm cooler ! please e-mail me and tell me more ! Thanks , bye !

I'm running an Athlon XP 1800+ on an abit board with a mastercooler heat sink. Temps are 51C and the computer is running great. AMD's must run hot.

I am running an Athlon XP 2100+, 512MB DDR 266 SDRAM, GeForce 3 Ti 200 (slightly overclocked), etc. on an Asus A7V333 motherboard. I have a CoolerMaster heatsink and fan, with CoolerMaster Premium Heatsink Compound. This is all running in a Lian Li Aluminium case with 2 large front fans, one large rear fan, a PCI slot cooler sucking hot air down from the processor, and a 450W PSU with a bottom intake sucking air off the top of the CPU. With the case closed in a warm room, I get motherboard (case) temps of between 35 and 38 degrees C, and CPU temps of 52 to 55 degrees C. Running full out (e.g. benchmarking) my CPU temps go up to between 56 and 60 degrees. My system is totally stable (never crashed whilst benchmarking/gaming) and the temperature is never out of control. So long as the temp is stable (even if relatively hot)and you keep an eye on it (e.g. Asus Probe) then there is no problem as long as it peaks below 60 degrees. Temperatures will always appear slightly hotter on the new Asus boards than anywhere else due to their on-chip diode temperature monitoring. What do you think?

I built a system about 6 months ago that consists of an AMD Athlon XP 1.4 GHz chip, Gigabyte motherboard, and 512 MB of Corsair DDR266 memory. Anyhow, I turned the machine on today and it began the usual bootup stuff (the hard drive churned, the CDROM whirred, etc.), but nothing came up on the monitor. So, I opened up the case, took out all the cards except for video, took out the memory, and finally, disconnected all the drives. I stuck the memory in another computer and it worked fine. I put the memory back in my machine, turned it on, and got the same problem. I am suspecting that either my chip or my board is shot. What do all of you think??

I've got an Athlon XP 1800+, Asus A7V333 board, 512MB pc2100 DDR ram, Nvidia geforce2 64mb. idle temp 57 Degrees. Full load temp is 63-66, but my problem is the tower as it doesnt have good airflow. So, i'm changing the heatsink and the tower. hopefully that will help.

Update to my last message: I just got an Evercool Copper Heatsink with a bigger fan, and I used some Arctic Silver II Heatsink compound, and my temps have dropped a bit. My Athlon XP 2100+ is now idling around 51 degrees C and only goes up to 55 degrees C flat out. An improvement, but it proves that these new chips will run quite hot no matter what you do.

In Bios my Gigabyte board 7VRXP tells me the CPU temperature is in excess of 60C. MMB5 using the chip sensor tells me it is 45C. Which one is morer likely to be correct?.

hi there...i got a volcano 7 HSF and i was wondering, should the fan blowing air to the heat sink or its the other way around (sucking heat from the heat sink to open air)??because right now it is set to be blowing air into the heat sink, which is doesnt seem right...plz help...thx a lot!!

Athlon XP 2000+ with Volcano 7+ Soltek SL-75DRV5, got cpu temp. of 56-59°C... Normal? Good ? Can I do better ? Help me plz. Thnx

Hi all, I have an idle temp of 60-61 C and 67C on full load. my configuration is: A7V333 rev. 1.01 2x60GB Maxtor on Raid-0 AMD +1900 which after i upgraded the bios is running as +2000 as it won't run otherwise. Cooler is Thermaltake silent vinking, which is about 10C lower than the original in-a-box cooler (which only I used few hours before i removed it). Aopen GF3 TI200. I tried to set the multiplier manually but bios won't allow ;o( The temps reading when running as it should a +1900 and +2000 are identical. Anyone having or had same problems on the CPU freq. please post on how you got it fixed or what you have tried.

wow soon heat there! My system is an AMD 1800+ Enermax 350 watt Gforce 3 Ti 200 Average size case Arctic Silver2 Thermal paste a must a avg cpu fan at 5800 rpm my cpu temp at idle is 38-39 and at full load 45-47 max But it was better before with my cheapy 250 watt power supply.I still at a loss i why my temp in the case went up as well as my cpu and harddrive. I know if i had a full tower it would be much cooler with airflow. Make certain that you have good case fans!!

Thanks Warren, I will try to see if that helps

xp1800+ asusA7V333 Volcano silent vicking Arctic silver enermax 350W good tower also. I got 66°C at full load (from asus probe), no problem until now... stable!

I just acquired a Athlon XP 2000+, which I like. Quite fast. Idle temperature is about 55C and when I'm using the system it is about 60C and stable. Case temperature is about 48C (case closed). The cooler I'm using is an Arctic super silent 2500(i've bought it with a Thermaltake Volcano 7, but this was way to noisy) with Arctic silver cooling compound. I'm using an Aopen 250 watt psu and my system is running stable, not experencing lock ups or other strange things. Think I'm going to put in a case fan for better air-flow.

I have an Athlon XP 2000+ MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 512MB DDR 333 and the Coolermaster HHC - 001 (@3500rpm) and i have idle: 39°C full load: 45°C (normal day) idle: 42°C full load: 49°C (very hot day) used Arctic Silver as compound Case (Chieftec Big) is closed and has one rear fan (@ 1500rpm) Enermax 350W So the Coolermaster HHC-001 runs realy great for me. Maybe u used too much thermal compound?!.

I also have an athlon XP1700 running on a A7V333 board. when reading the asus probe, it shows that the temperature of the processor when idle, is 43 and when running flat out, is 52, (mobo temp around 32-35) and these are the temperatures shown without the computer having any chassis fans or exhaust fans or what not. when i went to a computer store to ask about the temperatures, i was reassured by the assistant that the Asus boards, especially the new A7V333 shows temperatures 10 degrees celsius or so higher than they actually are. the reason behind this is because of the two chips/sensors that take the readings. it is almost like a conflict among the two. so if anyone has idle temps of around 40-50, then consider that it is actually 30-40.

I have XP 1700 runnin on Gigabyte GA-7vrxp using a CoolerMaster dp5-6i31c and the temp when i turned it on was 74!!! i thought that was extreamly hot and turned it off rite away. i switched to a Volcano 6cu+ and the idle is 35 and load is 45. i really recomend this fan to all u who have temp problems.

Hi..just a quick addition to what you guys have said....I've just built a pc for a friend (asus a7v333, xp2000+, geforce 3 ti200, 512mb ddr333) and am getting system hangs when I try to run 3d games...soldier of fortune, wolfenstein...at first I thought it was a heat problem, seeing as how its at 52c, but reading your notes above, I guess this isnt the case (I got an xp1700+ and ecs k7s5a in my machine and thats fine) Anybody got any ides about this as I'm about ready to sacrifice this to the devil......cheers

It could be a power supply problem - not enough! What wattage are you using? Should have at least 350W. My 2100XP runs at 70 degrees idle and about 80 full load. Perfectly stable though!

It should be clear by now that operating at 55C is average on an XP 2000. I have an Epox 8K3A+ which can monitor the built in diode that the XP’s have. My normal non-overclocked temp is 55C. I was pretty alarmed until I read the postings here. Some reviewers are not measuring the right temp when they say it’s at 37C. They are using the wrong winbond setting in their monitoring program (I did this too with Hardware Monitor 5). DON'T EVER remove the fan while the system is running, Duh, not that anyone would. Tom’s hardware has a great video of an AMD frying immediately when this is done. Check it out: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/01q3/010917/heatvideo-05.html

On my old mobo Abit KTA7-RAID SDRAM133 the same proc. XP 1600 and the same ND10 cooler has 35 - 40 C and on the new mobo FastFame Sis 745 DDR333 has 51 -60 C I go crazy but that's it, I don't give 35 USD for a cooler because in 2 -3 month I will buy a new XP 1600 at this price. So maybe the difference is between mobo not just between brands :)

0

And somenthing else about programms who read temperature you don't need to trust them. You better check the PC Health Status or other fancy bios. For example Sisoft Sandra read the value degree of my proc. instead of my mobo and viceversa. Temperature Sensor(s) Board Temperature : 55.0°C / 131.0°F - false CPU Temperature : 43.0°C / 109.4°F Power / Aux Temperature : 43.0°C / 109.4°F :))))))))))))))))))))) PcHealth Temperature Sensor(s) CPU Temperature : 53.0°C / 131.0°F Board Temperature : 43.0°C / 109.4°F Power / Aux Temperature : 43.0°C / 109.4°F So when I will build a mobo I will know for sure which sensor show what or no :)

OR just buy a Pentium IV instead of some fancy vulcanic cooler or water cooler for your XP, I don't want to transform my computer in some Mad Max tool or Water World, and you are kevin Costner, we are running fast to Star Trek era.

This is a followup to my last message. Ambient temp is of coruse important - as temps have dropped here in the Bay area so did my average diode temp reading to 49C. HOWEVER! I was using the supplied heatsink/fan as this actually out performed the pice of sh$t Dragon Orb 3. I bought an installed a Thermalright AX-7 Heatsink after reading so many rave reviews. I ordered a loud but powerful 52.6 CFM fan (these must be purchased separately). Average ambient temp is now 39C - a ten degree difference! This thing really works. Now it's time to overclock! If interested I purchased the AX7 and fan at http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/therax7.html

I have an Athlon XP 2000 w/ 512 MB DDR ram on an Asus A7V266-E board, a 320W P.S. and a Geforce4 Ti4200 64 MB version w/ a CooloerMaster fan on a big ass heatsink(dont know what model # the coolermaster is cause there is no model # listed - i ordered a volcano 7 but got this instead on my barebone order - so no box or anything included, average fan speed is about 4500-5000 and my cpu temp while gaming for an hr w/ the side case open is about 60c w/ a MB temp of 35c - i just check the hardware monitor in the bios - i have an 80mm side fan on case...im gonna try w/ the fan on and a closed case tonight...from what im seeing i think as long as you are always below 70c you have nothing to worry about w/ the new athlons(2000+), and should barely be concerned if btween 70-75..cause if the temp reading im getting from hardware monitor on the asus boards are actually 8 degrees more..than i would be at 52c in full gaming swing(Quake3 @ 1024X768 for about a solid hr.) from everyone ive heard from 52 is about the averave - w/ no additiona fans. sounds normal to me - what do yall think???

Running computer at 51 C and the computer run great. OK. But running great now will guarantee that it will last long as it should? I remember reading somewhere that the username "Badboy" said the max temp is about 90 C. Geez ! At about 70 C, your XP 1800+ would be probably permantly damage already. Not to say if you run your XP 1800+ at only about 60 C for months. That would likely shorton your CPU life. Get a thorough and complete knowledge of how to clean the two contacting surfaces ( of the heatsink and the processor die) as well as know to avoid even a finger print on these two newly and thoroughly and perfectly clean surfaces, and of course how to apply an enough amount of high performance heatsink grease, one that is not to much to the degree that not enough heat would be transfer from the CPU to the heatsink, or one that is too thin to cover all the microspic "air gap" between the contacting surface; and of course and big and good heatsink with high quality heat transfer material, is the key to conserving your this XP 1800+ shortening life span.
