Meter as read the temperature

[AMD-USR_JL]

Yea, SpeedFan is really good. I use it too. I think you can even overclock with it, but i haven't tried it. Don't use it on puters with older mobos though. It could cause it to crash and loose your spot on the uptime project.

Lagu, do you use phase-change cooling? What reseller is it?

Hi

I use a large 12 cm Zalman CNPS7700 and a auxillary 8 cm fan. I have had it since 2004 I think and before I clean my computer it was 60 C degree when hardworking.

When I then started the computer it was 80 C degree when idle. I have uGuru as shows the temperature but I beleive it is false. The BIOS had change so the wrong must be there I guess.

lagu where you say you posted at ABIT can you give a link to the thread. On their forums there are dozens of messages about how the reported temperatures are incorrect.

Hi

When I was online the graphic card suddenly got an issue and asked me to close my computer. Did it and opened the box, and the graphic card was hot. Checked all fans even to the graphic card and all was ok.

When I started the computer again I got a message saying I hawe had a grave failure as noy was solved. Checking the temp in uGuru showed 57 C degree and the computer box is cold. Before it was a little varm.

I think the fan of the graphic card had not been working or perhaps it have?

Now I hawe restarted QMC and the temperature raised to 85 C degree and the graphic card is a little varmer now.
What a difference. I have remowed one side of the box if I will feel on the card.

Hi

Another thing I discovered was the PSU was very hot before the failure but now it blow cold air.

I´m very confused.

graphic card suddenly got an issue

can you expand on this? what happened?

flashing the bios is removing what is currently there. It should never disappear as this is what tells your machine what to do when you firts turn it on (beofore you read the HD/CD and boot an OS).

do what bart said in theabit forums:
download the patch for the uguru.
Then you can use the flashmenu in uguru to update the BIOS.
The flashmenu i have never tried but it says it has a "One Click LiveUpdate" feature, which sounds fairly simple.

Hi

I have dovnloaded a new BIOS and a new version of uGuru because I got a message saying it was too old and not want to work. Then tried to flash for a new bios but it never worked.

What as happened is that the Graphic card got a failute and lost its setting. The monitor got a appareanse as we got when we start windows in a wrong secure situation and the colours got down to 256 colours or lesser. When it happen, Windows asked me to sawe my files (wordfile as I was written) and then shout my computer down.
After restart Windows reported there had been a grave failure as had been solved.
After the startup the PSU no longer blown out hot air and the processor temp fell down to 57 C degree Idle.
It was as there had ben a large recistance who maked the PSU to work harder and the hotted air around it spreads around the processor and graphic card.
I guess it was so but another explanation perhaps can gets.

Hi

To be honest, am a little afraid for upgrading the BIOS. I have read an upgrade can damage the BIOS and the computer never starts again. It this mean I must buy a new motherboard is shouldn’t be good.
I have upgrade the bios on my other Athlon using a diskette and following the instructions on the monitor and it went well can I say. But, the upgrade was from Compaq’s home side and there was only one to choose. ABIT is a little more complicated. The file I have downloaded is Kv824 and Flash Menu is version 1.38.
