Too low temp readings on overclocked Intel Atom CPU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I am running an Asrock Ion computer under Ubuntu 10.4. It has four Intel Atom CPU cores. In the Asrock BIOS thereis an option to introduce overclocking. I have set the frequencyto 1800 MHz insetad of the standard 1600 MHz.
After having the computer switched on for several hours, but theCPU:s mainly idle, the output from the sensors command is as below,in a room where ambient temperature is about 22 C.
coretemp-isa-0000Adapter: ISA adapterCore 0:       +4.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0001Adapter: ISA adapterCore 1:      +16.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0002Adapter: ISA adapterCore 2:       +3.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0003Adapter: ISA adapterCore 3:      +16.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)
Clearly these temperatures are way too low.However, if I set the processor frequency to the standard 1600 MHz,I get:
coretemp-isa-0000Adapter: ISA adapterCore 0:      +17.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0001Adapter: ISA adapterCore 1:      +25.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0002Adapter: ISA adapterCore 2:      +18.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)                  
coretemp-isa-0003Adapter: ISA adapterCore 3:      +25.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C) 
Which at least seems far more reasonable.
It seems that the more I overclock, the lower the temperature readings get.Can somebody explain how to get correct temp readings? It is of course more importantto me to get correct readings in the overclocked situation than in the standard situation...
The lm-sensors version used is 3.1.2 and the linux kernel version is 2.6.32.
