asus P5N-t deluxe + core 2 duo E8200 problem

[Aradreth]

small update before removing the pad from the Heatsink... i've installed the LM_sensors 3.0.1

it might be a stupid question but is temp1 my processor?

Not sure which is your CPU but lm_sensors to my knowledge is broken with core 2 duo's and kernel 2.6.25 (my temperatures went from ~45 to 60+)

Easiest way to tell which temp is which is to quickly drop into the Bios and check it from there.

Actually I'd go with a CPU based stress test and see which one goes up. But your point reminded me that it's been said the in the bios the temp is 60+ so it's probably temp1.

[Setlec]

what software do you point for stress my pc?

cpuburn does the job although I don't recommend you use it when you think your CPU is over heating. Any program that raises the CPU load to ~50% should give a noticeable increase in temperature, but I'd do it after you find out why your CPU is 60+ in the bios.

new update i just installed a new Cooler from cooler Master the Hyper TX2 added a new thermal paste but sensors and bios sensors get this

*cough*Check in the bios*cough*

[Setlec]

lol

*cough*get the same temp in the bios*cough*

ROFL

[Setlec]

hmmmm would a bios update might descrease the temperature??? One friend of mine told me that he updated and resolved his thermal problem.


Any thoughs?

This XS thread could be the answer to your issues. A lot of people have had problems with their on die temp sensors. It is classified as an errata. You can either return it, or ignore it. Also, you might want to try undervolting.
