Possible bug on subzero temps? 0.95.4

Rockhammer · Post by **Rockhammer** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:41 am

I'm running an Abit IP35-E with an Allendale core E4300 (3925mhz, 1.66 vCore) and the latest bios revision. Core Temp 0.95.4 reports of 11 and 10 degrees C no matter whether I'm at idle or full load. The kicker is that I'm running a custom phase-change cooling system (think Vapochill on steroids). A thermocouple on my heatsink (evaporator) reads -52C at idle and -42C under load. I'm guessing the true core temps are in the -10C range based on my experience with my old Asus P5B and this same chip. Here is a screenie.

Thanks!

There is an issue with the Intel DTS not working well with low temperatures. You're not the first to see and report this problem. Usually the temp reaches a certain low, and then stays there no matter how much lower the temp has actually gotten.

Ok, thanks for the info. Wierd thing was the same chip it worked fine on my old Asus P5B but not on the Abit IP35-E.

And Core Temp showed you sub zero temps on those boards?

Unfortunately, I didn't test with Core Temp on my old board. But the Bios, Speedfan, etc all read correctly with the old rig. The only thing that changed was the mobo.
