AMD Athlon X2 BE-2300 Temps

[Ychocky]

So I built my HTPC finally, it's come a long way but after several hardware changes it's finished.

It's built using the following components:

AMD Athlon X2 BE-2300 (Lovely 45w Part) w/ ThermalRight XP-120 Alu cooler @ Stock no OC

Asus M2N-VM DVI (Apparently does 1080p using onboard, we'll see)

2 GB of OCZ Platinum (Bought in haste before the launch of Conroe two and a half years ago)

Western Digital 500 GB 16Mb (WD5000AAKS-00YGA0, bought on reccomendation from SPCR, and it was $99! Really quiet drive, 100% reccomendation for HTPC builders.)

Happuage 500 MCE TV tuner

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro

Lite-On SATA DVD burner (Yay no IDE!)

Seasonic S12 330w (Really cool running)

In an Antec NSK2480 2 x 120mm fans

Pics up soon, but first my problem:

Temperature reporting is out of wack



WTF Core Temp?



Speed fan shows a "reasonable" Temp1



Under Load, the temps certainly change.



Speedfan again under load, Temp1 is reasonable.

Now lost in this mess is the fact that before putting this together I had it running on my desk (with no fans!) with an old install of XP. Core Temp was reporting properly. When I switched back to this hard disk it still gave these wacky readings.

Any Ideas? I'm not worried, the exhaust fans were expelling barely warm air, H/S not hot to touch etc. Bios Reports a reasonable temp.

Just wondering if this has been noted.

Have you tried CPUID HWMonitor?

Never used this one! Thanks for the idea.

Sadly it gives similar readings. Strange...
