i think it might be broken

i have set my voltages on my bp6 cpus to 1.9 and this is result in the bios.

cpu 1 is fine at 1.88 but cpu2 it very odd.

the same 3.05v happens when the default voltage is selected, or any other voltage.

the cpu temp on cpu1 currently is 36c and cpu2 is 37c

the caps are perfect, but could 1 be on the way out? or do i not need to worry about a thing.

I shall reboot into the bios and check on mine. I will get back to you...

Vcore1 : 2.04
Vcore2 : 2.04

Hmm yes looks like you might have problems.

Aslo looks like I need to get lm_sensors running to keep an eye on my temps.

45,45 and 52

yeah i though there was something wrong

what are your temps like then?

cheers

Just edited it because I realized I hadent put my temps in.

It had just been rebooted from running boinc.

yeah thats ok temps

i have a pair of AMD athlon xp coolers so i get really good temps even with 400s@582

do u know where the third temperature is messured from?

the voltage doesn't move it just stays on 3.05

It’s down erm, hard to explain, between two groups of caps on the left hand side of the board about half way down, labeled "RT2"

With out opening my machine or having a pic that’s the best I can describe.

cheers

bluliz,
temp looks ok on cpu2. vcore would have probably fried it if it was really at 3volts.

pull one processor and check with just one. try the allegadly over-volted cpu in the other socket and see what happens. DONT try the cood cpu in the bad socket though unless you are willing to lose it.

on the topic of sensors...MBM shows my
vcore1=1.8v(correctly).
vcore2=1.5v and there is nothing displayed as VTT. am i doing something wrong.

well it still works fine, so its not cooked,

oh well i can fiddle about with a pair of lapped 533s, dont matter if i cook them cause they wont overclock to more than 550,

yeah only version 4.1.8 or something of mbm works properly with dual cpu.

the vcore2 acctually show your vtt.

i will let you know how it goes

thanks for the response on the MBM thing for me.
I know the 533s dont oc 'cause my 500s wouldnt even go to 75FSB. I encountered someone that claims he has a running BP6 with dual 400@700.
Oh, try not to fry the 533s, there may be someone out there willing to trade some 366s for them.
