So i recently made the upgrade from a phenom 1 9550.

Oced at 1.45v, it's way hotter than my oced 9550 at 1.5v. Idle temps are 45c and load temps are 55c on my 940be while the 9550 has 35c and 48c respectively.

The wierd thing is that, when i touch the hsf, i'm certain that it's just about the same or even cooler than my 9550. And I do really expect that phenom 2s will run cooler than phenom 1s.

I already reseated about 5 times and still no luck. I did flash my mobo with the latest bios. Are my sensors faulty? Or is it just an effect with jumping from a 95w tdp cpu to a 125w tdp. But I did compare the temps mine to the temps of the members here, and mine is just hotter.

what was the 9550's clocks at?
im pretty sure they were below or around 3.0 ghz.. if you put the 940 at those speeds, you should get better temps

very strange when i went from a 9850 to a 940 my temps dropped about 10c what program are you using to monitor? the latest core temp works best i find

yeah, it's really wierd. i use speedfan, amd overdrive and occt.

a 55c load isn't all that bad an what i would expect considering your location an a 3.6 overclock. Maybe your 9550 sensors were faulty?

you think so? i don't know. but i've tried 2 mobos with the 9550 and it seems to be consistent.

and ever since the upgrade, this speedfan had been going nuts:

lol at the 8k rpm. bios and aod shows 1900 rpm though. but temp readings are all the same.

i want to add more volts to this so i can reach 4ghz.

Speedfan isn't an amazing app for judging temps...Its typically off. I'd use CORE TEMP.

it's still the same. and it's not the right vid.

Your heatsync is not set properly. You may have too much thermalpaste. I can run 53 degrees full load at 1.55V but I am watercooled. 1.4V I am 43 deg full load. thin coat of thermalpaste and artic silver5 is the best.

gerikoh · 05-29-09

errr, i tried both few and plenty. there's no temp difference at all.
