I just upgraded from an A64 3000+ to an X2 4200+. Motherboard is an EpoX 9NDA3J, heatsink is an XP-90.
Load temperature was 60C as reported by the BIOS. I didn't think it'd be that high so I dowloaded Core Temp to see if that said anything different. Core Temp reported the temps as 50C and 46C.
Idle temperatures were 38C (BIOS) and 32/29C (Core Temp). CnQ doesn't seem to be working so I'm using CystalCPUID to achieve the same effect.
For reference, ambient temperature in the room is about 25C.
Naturally I'd rather trust the Core Temp readings, but before the upgrade I didn't have any reason to distrust the BIOS reading. That was also before the BIOS update to support the X2, though..
I've reapplied the AS5, but the first application seemed pretty good when I looked at it. Should I just ignore the BIOS reading?
