Hi Forum.
I have two computers in the one room : a Duron 900 and a Sempron 2400, which I have recently built. Both CPUs have the standard HSF and thermal pad combination. Neither has case fans. The Sempron system has an all-in-one mobo, so there are no pci or agp cards inserted.
Yesterday, after running both systems for a period of time, I checked the temperatures of both (through BIOS) after rebooting.
Results as follows : Sempron - CPU 57 degrees C, system 38 C
Duron - CPU 42 C, system 22C.
I then opened up the Sempron case, and the CPU temp dropped to 46 C, system to 32 C.
Barring the possibility of a dodgy sensor, why would there be such a disparity in system case temperatures?
One thing I have noticed is that the CPU fan in the Duron system runs 2000 rpm quicker than that of the Sempron system. Is that significant?
Regards,
Gros
