Why do my temps in windows me and windows 2000 have a big difference?

newbie69 · Post by **newbie69** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 10:09 pm

CPU = AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.4@1.6GHz / 266FSB AYHJA 'F' stepping

In windows me, my idle temps are 26-27 degrees celsius using the thermalright sk-6 with 8000rpm delta fan

and in windows 2000 my idle temps 37+ degrees celsius using the same HSF and same room temperature with windows me

anyone have a clue on whats up with the major difference in temps?

and also theres quite a difference in benchmarks while using sisoft sandra2001te, like my multimedia benchmarks are better in windows me then in windows 200 ,like the MIPS are 200+ points greater in windows me than in windows 200. And the CPU Benchmarks are a little better in windows 2000 than in windows me, anyone have an idea what is causing this, and how to get similer benchmarks?

Alot more processes running in 2k at idle than in ME

yeah i thought the same thing too...that seems to be a logical explanation...

OH MY GOSH!! I just tested out my score in windows me with multimedia benchmarks, what an unbelievable difference

, i tested benchmarks 10 times on each os :

so then wouldnt the fsb be 133 and the system clock be 266? good score, cant wait to crush it with m palamino

huh? I just copied the info from WCPUID:

internal clock: 1600.03 MHz
System Bus: 266.32
System Clock: 133MHz
Multiplier 12.0

hehehehe, WinME has a built in HLT program. CPUIdle, Rain, etc are some examples of HLT progs, which make your CPU run @ lower temps when idle. The only explaination is that Win2K doesn't have a built in HLT prog, probably cuz its targeted more @ servers and stability.
