Weird CPU recognition and temp question.

[darkclaw]

I've got a T-bird 1100, bios recognizes it as a moble athlon 4 1100. Set the FSB at 120, is now recognized as a 1500+, really doesn't make any sense but the main question is under stress test temp never got about 44C normal load is about 39C. Are these temps okay or too hot? And I don't mean for extreme o/c's I just mean for normal running specs. Thanks for any input.

for a 1100 using a fsb of 100 it has a multiplier of 11*100 (1100)
the new speed when overclocked is 11*120 = 1320 this is the nominated speed of the amd xp 1500+ (the 1600's were 1400MHZ). The temps you say are fine if that is the hottest ambient room temp you will experience. If the temps are measured through the core then that is very acceptable (i doubt it though) If it through a socket sensor then it is still fine as long as the chip is stable. My temps using water cooling with a case temp of 32deg (its **** hot in melbourne Aus at the moment) are 48 socket and 57core ful cpu load for over 3 days.

darkclaw, post your motherboard's specs

You're worried about 44C, my cpu isn't over clocked and runs at between 50C and upto 65C on hot days (room temp reaches upto 35C though) and im not at all worried.

Board is a Chaintech 7AJA2E. Adjustable Vcore and FSB through Bios. from 100-130 FSB. KTE133 Chipset. These temps are being reported through Health Monitor in Bios and through Sandra. Don't trust the Sandra one, but the Bios reports with in 1 degree of Sandra. Anything else about the board needed to know?

Are you sure it's a T-Bird?

The first revisions of the Palomino core were known as Athlon 4 and often identified as such. They were also first released for the mobile market. It's possible you actually have a mobile Athlon 4 (which I believe was released at that speed grade) rather than a T-Bird.

Get something like WCPUID and see if the processor supports SSE. If it does, it's a Palomino core not a T-Bird.
