Different load temps?

[morfinx]

I have an A3000+ Winnie, I get different CPU load temperatures running Prime95 (small FFT), Hot CPU Tester, and DScaler (TV Tuner program), all of which uses 100% CPU utilization. However I get the highest temperature out of Prime95, then lower temperature in Hot CPU Tester, and even lower in DScaler. When I had my AthlonXP Palomino, doesn't matter what program, as long as the CPU utilization is 100%, the load temperature is the same. Anyone can offer an explaination?

Nobody experienced this? Load temperature in games is also much lower than Prime95 produced, approximately inline with load temps obtained with Hot CPU Tester.

Nobody?

Could somebody at least check theirs to see if you have the same result? Run a game for awhile and check SpeedFan for load temp, then run Prime95 and check load temp and see if they are different.

i think one of the functions of cool & quiet on a64s is to shut down all of the unused parts of the processor until they are needed......

so if prime uses one part that gets the hottest, it will be utilizing that part, while the rest get shutdown to conserve energy/produce less heat


and for the other programs the hotter parts are being shut down because they are not being used


as i said...i THINK cool& quiet does this

Cool n' Quiet is not enabled on my computer though.
