Scary A64 Temp. Readings (100C+)

[acheng1188]

Yikes! Initially I had temperature readings of around 50 degrees celcius idle and 60-63 load. However, I took out my heatsink and applied AS5 and put it back on. Then I noticed my temperatures shot up to 100 degrees. Of course I took that off and well- broke a pin. So a week later I order a new A64 3000+ processor. Set everything up and again I still have a temperature reading of 100+ degrees celcius! I'm thinking I must of damaged my motherboard somehow but still, wouldn't the chip be burning at this high of a temperature? Whenever I touch the processor or heatsink its cool and not hot at all. However, this would not make any sense on how such a change occured. I do recall accidently jabbing at the mobo with a flathead screwdriver but I doubt that is the cause. Oh and my mobo is a Chain VNF-250 which I know is known to have incorrect temperature readings on CG cores. Thanks for any input in advance :-\

rma your mobo lol... done?! curious tho, how did you break a pin? i would pretty much shoot myself in the toe if i did that, hell if i didnt my parents surely would... lol

Haha thats in the past now :-\ I thought the CPU itself took temperatures independent from the mobo? BTW. my system temperature is normal around 30 degrees celcius.

100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point :/

your temp sensor is FUBAR'd but your proceesor is probably fine, especially if the heatsink is cool to the touch.

Now that I recall, I did accidently jab the mobo with a flathead when trying to unlock the HSF heh.

LMAO! you are a bull in a china shop! :laugh: Broke a pin, gouged the board, you should leave well enough alone now if you are wise The A64 would not operate@that temp so no worries, just use it and stop abusing it now.

I can't imagne needing a screwdriver for a non-screw down cooler with A64. The Coolermaster, stock, and Venus12 I have used all have been childs' play and you can install and remove them all with a finger.

this is a common problem with the vnf3-250, just requires newest BIOS, use winflash.
