K8TM-ILSR CPU temperature "not present"

I've received a replacement K8TM-ILSR after problems with RAM.
That's now fixed, but now in the Health Monitoring part of the BIOS, the CPU temperature reading is weird:
- at boot up the temperature starts in the 80 degrees C (that can't be right!)
- then it starts dropping, and after a minute or two reaches 20 degrees C and is still falling
- when it reaches 16 degrees C the reading disappears and is replaced by "not present"
So as the machine warms up, the CPU temperature actually drops. After a few hours of being switched on, returning to the BIOS still reveals CPU temperature "not present". Only if I reboot from cold do I get a reading, but the reading is always decreasing until it changes to "not present".
BIOS v1.4 was supposed to correct a problem with temperature reading - my motherboard has BIOS v1.5... so that can't be the problem, can it?
I'm wondering whether to send the motherboard back for a replacement while I still can.

Ah, one more thing: the temperature sensor is on the motherboard, and not in the CPU, correct? So if there is a problem it's with the motherboard not the CPU?

K8TM-ILSR CPU temp changes with restart of computer

I have K8TM-ILSR motherboard with Athlon 64 3000+ NewCastle installed. My motherboard BIOS version is 1.5. I have Zalman 7000 CPU heatsink with fan speed fixed at 1350 RPM. Cool'n'Quiet is enabled.
I have noticed very strange behavior of CPU temperatures measured by MSI PC Alert 4.
Sometimes when I turned on my computer is my idle CPU temp around 29C and my cpuburn CPU temp around 47C.
Another time when I turned on my computer both temperatures are around 15C higher. The results don't change as long as I don't turn the computer off and on again. It's completely random, but once the computer is turned on it sitcks with the either first or second values.
Other conditions: optical drive is empty, hard disk has no job, Cool'n'Quiet is working, CPU fan has 1350 RPM all the time. case fan is working normaly (Antec Aria case).
Did anybody else noticed anything similar. What could be wrong here?

hello.
your die temp for CPU is 70º C
dont use pc alert. its report offen wrong values. use speedfan instead. Cool'n'Quiet is maked to save power consumation on CPU. if CPU is not working hard its consume lower power and there is no necesery to be cooled with maximum power and your cooling system is slowing RPM automaticly. when some apllication need more CPU power think over 90% your CPU will be maximum to actual powering automaticly also is correspond for cooling system. so all is fine dont have reason to trouble.

Msi K8TM ILSR do not recognize 2 modules of RAM???

Everything works fine but one thing, mainboard recognize just one module of RAM. It has sockets for two modules and I put 2 modules of Elixir 400 MHz 256 MB. Mainboard always report 256 MB ram instead of 512 MB.
I also tried to install 2x Spectectek 400 MHz 256 MB and it is warking the same. Then I tried to test both memory sockets and they both working. When I'm using just one module, it is working correctly no matter in wich socket I've placed memory module (when using just one module)...
Please help!
p.s. sorry for bad English...

I got black screen after all trying to solve the situation.
I'm sorry I was rude. I will try to share the knowledge I got during this few days without sleep :(
Anyway, I used another mainboard to solve this problem. Later, I will se what is problem with K8TM ILSR. I downloaded bios version 1.6 from MSI site and flash it ( http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=574&kind=1 ). It was always saying that I have 256 MB of RAM (not 512 as I put 2 modules of 256).
As I said I will try to give my best to post solution of mentioned problem...

MSI K8TM-ILSR RAM reported incorrectly

Hello,
Just bought an MSI-K8TM-ILSR motherboard and GeIL 512MB DDR400 (appears in the compatibility reports as being OK) - but when I boot up (with quick boot option disabled) the BIOS reports 256MB. Linux (MDK10) and WinXP also only report 256MB instead of 512MB. Checked the obvious: looked at the RAM stick to make sure it's 512MB... the manufacturer sticker says it is 512MB.
Checked if there's a BIOS updated related to this - v1.5 said to correct a problem with RAM report after POST... but I already have that version of the BIOS.
More details on my hardward:
* Mainboard Details: MSI K8TM-ILSR (6741) , Version 1, BIOS version 1.5 (A6741VMS V1.5 101404)
Note: my BIOS says its date is 14/10/2004 while the website says 20/10/2004 (but still it's v1.5)
* CPU Details: AMD Sempron 3100+, Clock speed 1.8GHz, FSB 400MHz, Manufacturer code: SDA3100AXBOX
* Memory Details: GeIL 512MB CL2.5 DDR400 Manufacturer Code: GE5123200B, Slot location: DDR1
* Power Supply: ANTEC TruePower 430W
* IDE Devices: Seagate Hard drive and Lite-On CD/RW and DVD
* Other Devices: N/A
Operating System: Linux and WinXP

Just did what MSI tech support instructed me to do, i.e. change the AGP aperture which was intially set at 128MB (same as the memory on my AGP card) down to 64MB and lower but it made no difference. I tried up (even though that logically should make things worse), and no difference observed there either...
Hope someone else finds a solution to this...

K9N Platinum - Wrong CPU Temperature in BIOS

Hi, I have a K9N Platinum (7250-020) with the latest 1.3 BIOS and an AMD X2 3800+. The CPU Temperature in the BIOS has a negative sign in front of it, and it seems to always report -48*C. I tried the latest nVidia nTune and it was reporting the CPU temperature to be 208*C, which is absolutely impossible...
Does anyone have the same problem? I searched around and it seems I'm not the only one, but I still cannot understand if it affects only some K9N Platinums or all...
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about checking voltages as reported by the BIOS in the HW Monitor page, not physically checking them with a multimeter, correct?
I'll take a look at the numbers in the BIOS, but last time I checked they were ok.
As for raising the issue with MSI, eventually I will, even if they ask you soooooo many questions (for good reasons, I know...) that it would take me half an hour to fill that form...
I've checked with both and software is a little out from what a multimeter state's. Only check with a multimeter if your happy to do so. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=137886 offer good advise if using a multimeter .....
The only issue I see is the AUX connector for 3.3v with ATX2.0 spec (Modular cables etc)

Tweak the balance between fan speed and CPU temperature / Dell M6400?

Hi all,
I have a Dell Precision M6400 17" laptop. It runs really well on Arch, but is a bit noisy. It has always been noisy, btw, but I recently noticed that the CPU fan was blowing a lot of air even though the CPU temperature is lower than 70°C. I also have a macbook air, and its CPU runs at 70°C all the time, which seems to be normal. I would like my m6400 to behave similarly, and I'm sure someone here know how to change that

When I start the laptop, its CPU fan stays at its minimal speed only for 1 or 2 minutes, then increases its rotation speed to a second level. It reaches it maximal speed only under heavy load, when the CPU reaches >80-95°C. I would rather let the CPU run a bit hotter before the fan starts to blow: let's say the fan could enter its intermediary speed between 70°C and 85°C instead of 55-80°C, and blow at is its maximum speed beyond that.
I checked the Fan Speed Control wiki page, but lm-sensors is not able to show me the status of the fans. Any idea ?
Aurel.
PS: the temperature of the GPU is not reported by sensors, and nvidia-settings reports around 60°C. Its dedicated fan is very quiet.

Hi aurelieng,
I'm in the same situation from at least 1 month ( INTEL CORE 2 EXTREME X9100, 3.06GHz with 8GB ram, one solid state disk 128 GB, and one sata disk 500GB)
My dell M6400 has dual boot: ubuntu and windows7. The fan works a lot and continuosly in both environment and this is the reason because I have doubt that the origin of the problem is in hardware problem?

My macbook pro cpu temperature is too high??please tell me correct fact and information

i mistake deleting my activity.......re question...
I'm using macbook pro retina 13inch 2013 late version.
my macbook has NO external graphic card, just iris graphic.
when i was playing diablo3 or watching movie by using bypass ip address, my cpu temperature was maintained 90~100 celcius degrees.
And at the same time, my cooling fan was maintained 5800~6000 rpm.
There are two questions.
One, is my macbook temperature too high or normal level ?
Two, i know that 6200rpm is maximum speed of cooling fan. Why did fan run 5800~6000rpm, not maximum?

When processor intensive activities are taking place, temperature may reach the maximum level.

Patch Oracle 9.2.0.6 on linux with Jan 2006 CPU - inventory not updated

Hi,
We have tried to apply the Jan 2006 CPU (4751921) patch to Oracle 9.2.0.6 running on linux (redhat AS 4). The Apply log reports:
Patch 4751921 has been applied successfully.
... but then when trying to Update inventory it reports:
INVENTORY PROBLEM: Patch 4751921 is not present in Oracle Home inventory.
OPATCH_JAVA_ERROR: Patch was not successfully applied.
Verification of the patch failed.
ERROR: OPatch failed as verification of the patch failed.
This seems like the patch has been applied, but it can't update the inventory.
Followed the preinstall steps regarding the "Inventory Problem", including running checkinv.pl to clean up the inventory. This does clean up the dangling inventory.
Reran the opatch for 4751921, same output.
Tried running: opatch apply -verbose for 4751921, and it reports that the patch was succesful, no complaints about the inventory; yet an: opatch lsinventory does not show 4751921.
Without the inventory being correct, presumably we will continue to have problems like this with future patches; but the software has been patched and seems to run fine.
Any way to rebuild the inventory file?
thanks.

We had a similar (but not the same) error and we were suggested by Oracle to set the following environment variables before running opatch:
export OPATCH_DEBUG=YES
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
export SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2/lib/PA_RISC:$SHLIB_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2/lib/PA_RISC/server:$SHLIB_PATH
cd <patch directory>
opatch apply -jdk /opt/java1.4
The directories may be different depending on implementation, o/s. etc.

CPU temperature is too high in Solaris 10 sun fire v890 machine

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a sun fire v890 machine. I used the prtdiag -v command to check the system.
However, It appears to me that the CPU temperatures is higher than the temperature range specified in the technical specification. The server is a standalone node that does not connect to the network or process anything.
Is it a problem? Thank you.

Satellite M100 - I can't analyse the CPU temperature

I'm an owner of Toshiba Satellite M100 series (Core Duo T2300, X1400, etc.). The problem is that I can't analyse the CPU temperature changes in such popular application like Everest or Notebook Hardware Control. Also any other software provided by Toshiba and already installed on my HDD doesn't include some CPU diagnostics including the temperature changes!
The only software which seems to be working is the HWiNFO32 so there is some thermal sensor inside which reads this temperature of Centrino Duo processor, but this software is not very user-friendly :(
There is a request for Toshiba to do something with this... I've upgraded BIOS in my model to a version 1.70 but it didn't change anything I could easily notice (or is there any?) :(

Hi
Like Mike said the BIOS update has nothing to do with the CPU temperature monitoring.
The fact is that Toshiba doesnt support any 3rd party applications.
However, all the temperature programs are not precise and dont get exactly information about the temperature. Only the programs with a physical temperature sensor will give you a exactly temperature.
I dont understand why its so important for you to know the temperature. The Toshiba notebooks support an overheating protection and if the temperature increases to the critical level so the unit shuts down automatically.

CPU temperature under Bootcamp with Windows 7

Hello,
In Windows 7 on Bootcamp (version 4.0), while watching youtube/flash or installing software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat updates), the CPU temperature on my new MBA (MacBookAir4,2 (13") - 1.7/4/256GB) goes pretty high, but ironically the fan speed does not increase to take care of that.
Attached is a screenshot I took using speccy, where we see that the CPU temperature is 94 C, but the fan speed is only 2001 RPM.
However, when I run OS X (Lion), the fan behaves normally and speeds up as necessary to accommodate the increase in CPU temperature.
Has anyone else experienced something like this while using Windows 7 under Bootcamp? And does this behavior seem normal?
Thanks!
Screenshot:

try Lubbo's Fan control.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lubbofancontrol/
when you first run it immediately decrease the max fan speed to less than 3000. it's default value is crazy 6000 rpm.

[SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

Hi everybody,
I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:

The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Just curious: what are the temperatures now? Sensors output after the "fix" would be nice.
It's in the previous posts:

Fan spinning is better (less noisy) after specifying the kernel parameters.
Thanks

Mac Pro CPU temperature while rendering

Hey there, I just recently got myself a Mac Pro 2009 with a stock CPU - quad 2.66. While rendering, my CPU temperature goes up to 71C/160F and fans are on their defaults. Im just wondering if this temperature is OK for fans to not kick in, or I should reset something? Thank you

By seeing all the thermal sensor readings, and fans, sometimes people have found an issue where the readings were not right - sensor was getting wrong reading or none -
Laptop like MacBook Pro can often have their fans running much harder to cool and deal with heat.
Those new Haswell chips are suppose to run even hotten, they may be providing Intel 4600 integrated graphics as well as cpu functions, PCIe and USB3 as well as memory controller. They are powerful and efficient - and you will see cpu spikes in utilization AND corresponding changes in temps. \
Same on Mac Pro but not as extreme. Opening apps and files can show 10*C jumps for 1/2 second.
If you are going to render, then sure do what helps the system stay cooler and in a safe(r) temperature range. Newer components are helping companies save $$ on cooling and being able to run servers and even disk drives by 5*C warmer making a huge change. Think Google, Facebook or NSA having large factory flooors housing equipment needing to be kept in temperature controlled environments.

MacBook CPU Temperature

For the last several months my MacBook fan start to run as soon as I do anything processor intensive - including running a screensaver. As soon as I do something other than read mail or write in BBedit the fan revs up to 6000+ rpm. Looking at iState menu right now: Handbrake is the highest load, running using about 50% of the CPU. CPU temp is 99C, heatsink A 57C, heatsink B 56C, and the Enclosure base is 27C. The fan, as usual is running over 6000 rpm.
Is this normal? Could it be that thermal paste problem? Internet research has been more confusing than helpful.
Applecare is long expired - This is an early 2008 model.
Thanks

yep. and i bet, your fan isn't even spinning at its 6200 rpm maxmimum to accomplish this.
ok. as far as i understand it, different mabook series allow for different cpu temperatures and accordingly have a different fan behavior depending on which cpu is installed and which buliding materials are used in the book itself. so we can't directly compare your 2007 model to his 2008 or my 2009 model. but one thing pertains to all machines: if the fan spins at it's absolute maximum speed for a longer time period and temperatures do not drop noticeable, and if the fan never showed this behavior before, there's probably something wrong.
either the ventilation is blocked for some reason or the thermal paste is disintegrating. i would have checked it at the store. also, there is this wide gap between cpu temperature and heatsink temperature. for all i know, it's normally a difference up tof 15-20°, but not arround 40°.

X2100 monitoring hardware parameters CPU temperature

Hello all!
I have an X2100 under Linux SLES 10.0
I'm searching Internet for a long time, but cant get an answer.
Is there a way to get hardware parameters (CPU temperature/fan speed etc) via SNMP ?
What software should be installed (of course snmpd is running yet) to do it?
What MIBs is needed?
best regards,
Alex

Hi,
this hardware monitoring tools are not giving the real temp out. I tried Hardware doctor and it says that my Qosmio is running about 120 (!!) so I dont think its supposed to be the
real temperature of my CPU!
If your FAN is running constantly, maybe your fan and cooling system is clobbed with dust. Maybe cleaning the whole thing would be useful. On the other side, try to adjust the setting in the "toshiba power saver" and try to find settings which fit for you (performance/silence) because you have a powerful system and then its normal that your fan is running high.
He had to cool a CPU, a VGA and a little bit of heat out of the case.
