Check G5 Quad cpu temp without booting OS X?

Does anyone know how to do this? Like an Open firmware command? I suspect it was overheating according to the person that had it last. What would it do if it overheated? It would shut off, right? Do you think I could get a temp reading out of a Ubuntu live cd or some utility?
Thanks guys.

I felt the radiator and it was super hot (like so hot it hurt to touch), so I knew that the cooling system was circulating the heat like it should. I also noticed that the CPU fans were running extremely slow, maybe 10 rotations per second? Very, very slow. After about 3 minutes the overtemp light on the motherboard came on, and I turned it off.
So I did one better. I grabbed a 1 x 1 foot fan (like a personal fan) and set it inside of the G5 case after removing the stock fans. I set it to high and have been running it for a few hours without the overtemp light on. The radiator is barely warm, maybe ~70 degrees F. I installed Ubuntu 12 on a spare HDD and ran the temp command, coming up with most cores at 34-65 degrees. I assume that is Celcius. It is usually reading about 42 to 44. What is weird is that the temp will fluctuate 20 degrees in five seconds.
Is it running hot or is that a good temp for my computer?

Is there any way to monitor CPU temp without Dual Core Center

I hate Dual Core Center it has done nothing but lock my system up is there any alteranative to monitor CPU temp/Fan speed

Quote from: Maesus on 21-March-07, 23:34:06
I use speedfan... but for Core 2 Duo, I don't think I have to worry about the CPU temp anymore... they are really coooooooooooooll
Does anybody have an idea what the optimal temperature range for core duo cpu:s are? I used to have an Athlon XP, which was typically 65 °, now the my E6600 is running at 35-40 ° [celsius]. But where's the critical temperature where it burns?

Mac Pro 2.66 (2006) CPU Temps

It's been a while since I took a look at the my temps and what not using Hardware Monitor but the other day I reached behind my Mac Pro... it seemed to me that it was awfully warm... so it peeked my curiosity...
Today I checked and my CPU temps are all around 135F... as I said, it's been a while since I looked but I seem to remember them being sub-100F at idle...
Am I not remembering correctly?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
-Justin

See if installing SmcFanControl 2.2+ to create profiles and change default fan speed works, changes the fans.
Rather than wait for the system to heat up, switch to a higher rpm profile for that purpose, say 900-1000 rpm is still just barely audible but moves much more air and cooling. 1200-1500 for high.
Once the fans kick in, or cpus are under a work load, it can end up being cooler than it was.
The new 2009s with HT can be forced to use more power, create more heat. For 2006, the big issue is/was the ATI X1900 and clogging with dust and overheating, which needs to be pulled and cleaned every 3 months.

Msi Z68 GD80 (G3) strange Cpu Temp.reading

Hello all,this is my first post here.
I just purchased an Msi Z68 GD80(G3) and I think I have strange cpu temp. reading as seen in the Hw monitor.My i5 2500k idle/load CPU temp. is equal or higher than core temps which is strange for an intel cpu,as an intel user for years I believe it should be 10-12C lower than core temps.(my previous mobo was giga p67 ud5 and never had this issue).Double checked my cpu cooler-spire thermax 2-no problems.Updated to last bios-no change-Any recommendations/solutions welcomed here.
Rest of my system as follows:
Asus gtx560
4*2 gb gskill ddr3 ram
1tb samsung hd
high power 650w power supply

Have you checked what the CPU temp shows in BIOS just after start up ? How does that compare with the HW temp.
HW Monitor's temp interpretation may just not be calibrated for the specific Fintek chip used on your MB. Maybe you want to check with the HW monitor home site as well.
How do the temps compare with whats read/displayed in Speedfan, Real Temp or Core Temp ?
If they are all similar, then it could just be a badly calibrated sensor on the board as well.
Do some comparative testing and see if there are any differences at all.
Also check with MSI technical to see if they are aware of a general tendency with regards to this, or whether a BIOS revision may have addressed such an issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Just recheck your heatsink seating again and maybe even reseat the CPU and do a full socket pin inspection at the same time.

Mid-2009 macbook pro high cpu temp ( 100C) after every cold boot

Hi everyone,
Every time I cold-boot my MBP, the CPU temperature sky rockets to 100C within 3 minutes at idle with the fans barely kicking in until that point. The activity monitor shows 97% idle with no major processes running and this issue is reproducible every time I turn on the computer. However, if I immediately reboot the computer (warm boot), the computer runs normally (~70C CPU temp, fans @ 2000 rpm). If I do a SMC reset, the computer boots normally for the next immediate single cold boot but symptoms return thereafter. The only way to prevent the high CPU temperatures is to do a SMC reset before ever cold boot.
I'm wondering if someone else has had these symptoms with their laptop and how they fixed it. The system is still under apple care and the symptoms are reproducible but I'd rather not bring it in as this is my daily-use machine.

Different cpu temps after warm boot

After cold boot my CPU temp is:
Load: 46ºC
Idle: 39ºC (cool & quiet enabled)
After warm boot temp drops to:

J2EE Processes using 25% CPU load without load

Hi
We are running a Portal cluster with 2 cluster application nodes with each 2 J2EE server processes and a dispatcher.
We experiences that after some time the J2EE server processes can start using typical 25% CPU without any load on the portal - after some time the load typically increase to approx. 50% CPU (still without user load) and the only "solution" is to restart the processes.
Anyone you have experienced a similar behaviour?
BR
Tom

Are you doing load balancing too somewhere?
I though I read somewhere about some replication between nodes that goes on. If they transfer their information and drop it, that is fine. But they don't. On the next round they exchange the new info and info from the last time. It just grows. Look at you DB server, check to see if one of the DB's grows with the CPU load.
The other thing is logging. I am a log freak myself but, sometimes I get into trouble by logging too much. Next time your CPU loads check *.log and temp logs, see if there are any over 10 gig.
Not that I never had one,
no,
never.

Up to date K7N2 Delta2 CPU temp query

Hi all, just installed my first MSI board, K7N2 Delta 2 with a Sempron 3000+ chip that I previously had installed in an Asrock K7VT4A pro. Anyway, it's the old "oh heck the CPU temp has gone up to....." one. Idle on the Asrock was around 42 - 45 c, on the K7N2 its 50c. After initial panic (after all, op range is quoted as 0 - 95c for the processor) I removed and reinstalled the cooler with a new thermal pad for no change in reported temp, and flashed the bios to 11.5/B5 - again for no change in reported temp.
The ASROCK doesn't have that little tongue thing sticking-up under the socket (sorry if I'm getting too technical for some of you here) so I'm guessing that it is taking its reading from the socket, in which case the higher reading on the K7N2 is to be expected, but I'm a little confused between all the temp reporting revisions mentioned in the forum for the different bios levels. Is 50c with BIOS 11.4 and 11.5 OK or has the reading been revised down in these levels, in which case it's high, or has it been revised down and then up again, in which case it's OK
I'm running Sempron 3000+, no OC, 1G Crucial in 2x 512 sticks, Akasa AK-827RD rated for XP 3400+, akasa thermal pad, in a Coolermaster Centurion 530 with 2 x 120 mm case fans. CPU fan is running at 2445 reported by Core Center in manual mode. PSU is AKASA Powermax 460. Case is tidy with cables fastened back for good airflow.
TA much
Andi

Hey folks, thanks for the responses.
CPU is correctly installed, I even had a moment of anxiety about this yesterday and reinstalled it to check.
Fans are maxed, I set Core Centre to manual and maxed the CPU and NB fans. The Smart fan settings in bios are disabled.
Tower is under desk, desk is actually a table so no solid sides nor back to restrict airflow. The Centurion is a good cool case, taking the side off makes virtually no difference and system temp is showing as a decent and consistent 25 - 27 c (room is 21c).
Everything except the mobo is the same as it was with the Asrock, even the position under the table. I even checked in case I had rammed any of the fan connectors on the wrong way and was blowing in reverse (that sucks!). For the record, the front system fan is sucking air in, the rear system fan is blowing out, the PSU is blowing air out of the back of the case, the CPU and NB fans are blowing air onto the board, and the CPU fan has a duct to a vent in the side panel to help it bring in cool external air.
I just ran the machine for a couple of hours at 98 - 100 % CPU by running a bunch of audio tracks in Cubase with plugins on every track and the temp has remained steady at an indicated 58 - 59c. My idle CPU rate is around 2% (these figures from Task Manager).
I'm still intrigued by the 41c indicated at boot after overnight cooldown, has anyone done this or would anyone care to do it and share the bios temp reading, I literally hit the power switch then del, straight into bios and then directly to the hw / health tab.
Incidentally, I thought that all Sempron 3000+ CPUs were Bartons (I know the MSI list says Thoroughbred but I thought they were all 512kb L2 Cache chips - anyways, mine is apparently a Power PC 604, x86 family 6, model 10, stepping 0, so I figure Barton?). Barton op temp is quoted as being 0 - 95c by AMD, and confusingly elsewhere AMD quotes max temp as 90c - in either case I have a bit of spare range. I'm running it with an ext clock of 166, auto multiplier and it's giving me 2166mhz.
Again, thanks to all; I know that this is pretty well a "done to death" subject and I really do appreciate the help.

P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

Hi All,
I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z. Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Cheers

C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures. Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ). This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor. It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

There is no issue. What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work. When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down. As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically. It is meant to be a good thing.
I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle.
If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere. You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it.
The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system. CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

PPC G5 Quad Core 2.5 Booting OS problem ?? tech needed

I have a G5 Quad late October release that seems to have a corrupted registry. yup thats what I said . It started with a Kernal panic on a wmv video , windows media no less, that required a Hard shut down but then a "Boot Stop" and Hard shut down alarm when I tried to re-boot and every time I tried to boot there after. I checked for coolant leaks, checked / reseated the CPU.s . Cleaned and reseated the Vid card and memory sticks, nothing. So i got ASD 2.6.3 It booted? so I ran 10 loops of full diognostic But No errors, so I re calibrated the CPU's all complete. But I still got a "Boot Stop" with the top red LED on , Tried safe boot , no luck, Then I pulled the drive and I got the Mac folder? , Tried booting from a Tiger DVD same "Boot Stop" so I tried option booting and the OS selection came up no problem and could detect OS's and even swap out DVD's. So I tried booting in verbose with bothe a mounted drive OS and the tiger DVD and got the boot stop. Verbose log said there was " A driver releasing a(n) _IOServiceJob has corrupted the registry\n" @/SourceCache /xnu/xnu-1228.15.4/libkern/c++/OSObject.cpp:241 . Granted there is alot more of kernal panic and back tracing but the @/SourceCache..... keeps coming up ever verbose boot causing kernal panics. Ive tried the pmu reset , Pram reset. booting with memory out , vid out everything. But all ASD tests say she's fine but I just cant seem to boot an OS!!! Could my ROM have been corrupted or some bad "Cache" that is saved and used during the boot cycle and if so how do I clean it out? HELP oh BTW the panic seem to come after "DART" is enabled what ever the blazes that is.

Z87-G43 Gaming - Random rebooting & strange CPU temps

Howdy.
Since building this system I've been having constant problems with system reboots. It seems completely random, but I've had a few this morning which is unusual (and I hope; unique!). It can be doing anything, or even nothing, for days and suddenly the power goes completely for a few seconds (I'm almost certain it isn't the power supply itself dropping, other things plugged into the same surge protector are still running).
When it returns windows log just shows Error 6008, with no other information. It happens infrequently enough for me to think I've cured it by doing something suddenly to get a surprise again. Things I've tried:
Re-installing OS (several times!).
Changing/stopping startup programs and services
Unplugging USB devices (for a while I honestly thought it was an iPhone cable! There seemed to be some correlation between it being plugged in and not plugged in. Not so).
Updating BIOS
Using Microsoft drivers instead of MSI supplied drivers (went back to MSI)
Using the Qualcomm Athero drivers for LAN instead of Killer
Monitoring CPU temps (see below!)
Tuning BIOS
etc, etc.
It is really frustrating, there is very little evidence to point towards one thing. It can go a week without rebooting, including lots of heavy gaming, and then I'll be doing something non-CPU intensive (i.e. browsing, or typing) and it suddenly restarts, then maybe another later that day, then another two days later, then nothing for a week again. Arggg! The one thing I have noticed, is that it rarely, if ever, goes down when doing something very CPU/GPU intensive, so I doubt it is thermal or that the PSU isn't coping.
Having said that, this morning has been a bit unusual, it has restarted more than ever (3 times I think, maybe more when I wasn't sat in front of it, I haven't checked the logs). The last time I fired up openhardwaremonitor and it reports something really odd, it says one core is running at nearly 125c and another is running at -35c . Speed fan is also showing these temps (but not Core temp, which shows them as being around 30c on each core). I totally understand that this is a misreading/bug, but it makes me wonder if the OS or motherboard is also misreading these temperatures and cutting the power supply?
I have found others with the same problem with the same motherboard (although to be fair, I was searching for the problem with the motherboard specified). Anybody else seeing these problems with this motherboard? Any suggestions?
Any help would be very much appreciated, and I thank you in advance.

Msi a55 e33 + r7 260x Graphics problem + amd cpu temps?

Hello, i have some problems with my new build
My system is,
cpu: amd athlon 750k
mobo: a55e33 msi (bios 11.4)
Gpu: sapphire r7 260x
ram: corsair vegeance 4gb
psu: corsair vs450
1) The problem is like this, whenever i don't do anything on my pc the monitor goes black and the pc crashes sound stucks some times and i have to reboot... tried several gpu drivers some crashes right away and some are like this.. is this a gpu issue ? Anyone with same experience ?
2) Second problem my cpu temperature is inaccurate and the only program that display a temp is cpuid hwm, cpu idles at 40-50c and goes as far as 80c based on the program... that was with stock cooler, upgraded cooler with an alpenfohn sella (deepcool rebrand) and the problem persists, temps were similar even with older bios version and the same older version board... is this a cpu problem ?
ps. Prime 95 for 4 hours hwm indicates 80c touched cooler with bare hand multiple times during this period not even near this temp even at the lower end of the cooler ...
thanks 4 any suggestions

Hi,
my idea is that your power supply is not efficient enough for r260x.
Try without the graphics card.
About the CPU temps, try to reapply the thermal paste. (when you've exchanged the cooler, have you cleaned the CPU?)
It also might be the problem with the software (or BIOS). Spend couple of $ and buy an external CPU temperature checking tool (don't know proper name of it).
Power supply is enough for the gpu probably driver issues as other users have the exact same problem with the same card, cpu temps are definitely mobo/bios or cpu related yes yes i cleaned the cpu i cleaned everything and reapplied ic diamond .. temps are the same with stock cooler and aftermarket cooler can't be coincidence + no program indicates temps other than hwm
Take notice i had 2 msi a55e33 one with bios 11.1 and another one which came with 11.4 from factory
Conclusion ? or the cpu is broken or the mobo indicates wrong temperatures

Please Help New Mobo CPU Temp 255 Deg Celcius

Hi, I just bought Big Bang Marshall with all the new computer part yesterday, after i finish installing everything then i started the computer, went to BIOS was planning to choose my boot driver, then i went to check the cpu temp. the cpu is 255 degress at 4.6mhz speed which i have not configure anything yet not even overclock yet. but then i put my hand and feel the temp in the cpu cooler it was warm not hot at all. but i worried that the 255 deg is real and might blow everythign so i turn off. thats the only time i turn it on, then today i phone the shop and the shop didnt know anything they never experience 255 deg. so i need to wait till monday until msi customer service open. but i got whole day today, i am wondering if people can help so i might able to fix the issue. should i continue and install the windows or should i wait till msi open again? thank alot

As long as the RAM defaults properly to 1333 like it is supposed to, all should be fine with having 2133's installed. RAM speed is kind of a sore subject with the Sandy Bridge platform. Not much is gained by 2133 in performance, but if you wish to persue more speed, please open a thread in the OC, Undervolt, & Mod Section of the forum.
thankss alott
Quote from: Bernhard on 05-June-11, 14:37:35
If you are not into extreme overclocking, then indeed a JEDEC standard 1333 set is all thats needed. If yours defaults to 1333 though and is stable, then you should be fine.

K8N Neo2 Plat cpu temp seems to be screw up...

Whenever I cold boot my system and when I went into the bios, my cpu temp will be like 40c while system at 28c then slowly raised to 34c which is reasonable. But cpu temp always around 40-42c not matter if I'm overclocking or not. I mean the cpu temp should be lower when cold boot and slowly raise depends on the room temperature right?
Sometimes it's screwed like cpu temp will reach up to 47c in bios and in windows when idle and when i reboot it's back to 40-42c using nvidia monitor and speedfan for readings.
Let's say when not overclocking, i set to auto for the vcore and it will shown as 1.35v. Even at 250HTT or more at 1.5v, in bios or windows, it's showing at 39-41c except for the load temp which i only see a difference.
It's just strange that cold boot cpu temp hit at 40-42c instantly and hardly moves even when vcore is at 1.5v in bios or in windows. Either that or it went up to 47c when idle sometimes but after a reboot, it went back to 40-42c again. I'm really confused why it's like this btw me using the stock cooler.

You took it right ! Is my english so bad...?? Bios ver. 1.5 shows correct readings after cold boot (yes when you are in windows and boot another time)
This 1.8 BIOS is not a Beta anymore. MSI will release this BIOS after their Holidays, many people in a german Forum are using it, without any problems!!
You should give it a try .... if you are experienced !!

Thanks MurdoK
I just flashed to bios v1.8 and the high temp of 40c when boot is fix
Now for cold boot, it's showing at 35-36c but the auto boot when psu switch is turned on showing blank screen with red/orange led light is not fix yet

Unstability due to CPU temp?

Hi,
I did some tests in the recent months that lead me to the settings in my signature.
Once, I used 5:4 and 3,0@3,5 which was running stable. This is supporting
the "keep away from CL2 RAM" discussion elsewhere. By the way: when I now
speak about a stable system, it has passed at least 10 cycles of memtest.
So if I configure the system to overclock (by degrading my RAM), I noticed that
CPU temps will run higher under load. Load means Procoder Express MPEG2
encoding here, is't multithreaded. Temps getting higher is normal. Running the
CPU at higher speed brought a better performance in my case than better memory
timing (so for what is PAT, CL2, etc...).
It seems that the "stable" system crashes after having reached 59-60 dgr C.
Could this be possible or do you think the CPU needs more voltage? Can I cpu
voltage or other settings to gain this kind of stability?

have you checked the event viewer? you will find it in admin tools in your controll panel..
here is the link u asked for https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=38316&sid=
sometimes my system would just re-start without any stop errors, but in the event viewer i would see a stop error or any system processes which had hung or exited without warning..

Check G5 Quad cpu temp without booting OS X?
