|  CPU temperature I get temps so low that I believe the sensors don't work right. Is it possible to idle at about 26*C? I have seen it get down to 24* and even once I saw the sensor read 23*C. Load goes up to 44*C. I have not overclocked yet.

  | Re: CPU temperature What program are you using to monitor your temperatures? Have you checked BIOS and compared it yet?

| Re: CPU temperature Everest, AIbooster (came with mobo), and BIOS. Right now I'm at 31*C on both Everest and AIbooster cuz I'm working it pretty good. The 44* was on an Orthos stress test for 30 minutes.

| Re: CPU temperature The main reason for this is I crash at about 3.35 Ghz when overclocking, and I don't think it is from temperature. What should I expect to overclock an Athlon X2 6000 up to?

| Re: CPU temperature I think AMD also runs with FSB. Well lower the numbers you're increasing by increments of 5-10. Then run Orthos again.

| Re: CPU temperature well... the amd x2 6000+ isn't much of an overclocker (i guess its the 90nm process or the 125w power consumption it has?)... i mean Apokalipse (he's a mod here) only could get like 3.5ghz ish with Water Cooling and with a Foxconn C51XEM2AA......

| Re: CPU temperature ehhh...thats ok i guess. Love the temps on it, but it is just a 3Ghz dual core to tide me over til Phenom. If its not good, I will officially give up on AMD and go over to the dark side. I'm always waiting for stuff that hasn't come out yet. And then I have socket AM2 when it does. Just like my last one was 939 and had to trash a perfectly good ABIT mobo.

| Re: CPU temperature Is there gonna be a big difference between AM2 and AM2+? I looked at the new technology on the AM2+, but didn't know exactly how it would affect performance. I haven't looked at AM3 yet, I don't even know when that will be available. I am sure that will probably be quite a bit better than AM2?
