Can't get a temp reading for my unlocked X2 550 BE

[Perineum]

550BE unlocked and running at 3.8ghz with 1.475 to 1.525 is very stable with a Hyper 212+. I've done 36+ hour runs with prime95 with that and endless quad core folding goodness

AMD only uses a single sensor for the cores, no individual temps, even when locked. I just adjust in my head the offset from my "cpu" (not core) temps.

I never check the core readings to my cpu. Always way below room temperature, kind of physically impossibly.

Since you can't check the core temps with an unlocked Phenom II, you can always use the CPU temperature reading from HWMonitor. I'd rather use that than have to guess my temperature readings.

speed temp and HW monitor are the same. one can only see the cpu socket sensor temp when the cpu is unlocked.

Just keep all those 3 sensor under 60C and you should be fine

I find HWMonitor to be much better than Speedfan. In fact, I get confused with Speedfan....
