Weird problem, temps drop after sleep mode
Weird problem, temps drop after sleep mode
Hello again Margse & Alyoshka, I appreciate your comments on S1 and S3 sleep states. A couple of thought, first we can't be the only people on the planet with this issue. Second my set up is new (AMD), below is my hardware, I am going to contact Gigabyte (my mother board) tomorrow and ask for their thoughts and I'll let you know what their reply is. Sincerely cocopuff
Issue Review: CUP temps are high and remain high after a start up, idling around 40-42c, however when I resume from sleep mode the CPU temps are lower and constant staying around 28-30c at Idle. Additionally with the sleep temps my temp reading appear to be correct compared to others with similar systems, at idle and under stress.

When do you verify temperatures after startup? I ask about the moment right after power-up. Which applications are active during boot? Look at the process count once temperatures rise and then again after resuming work from sleep to identify which processes contribute to the heating.

OK, for now we'll stick with the first problem being solved.
No , cocopuff is using an AMD processor so he has a different board and version doesn't count.
Now after you switch to the S1 Power state, what is the problem you are faced with, is what I would like to know.
It's just that I would like for the computer to go to deeper sleep. Save power, get it silent (in S1 fans keep running), etc. So there's no actual problem there, it seems to be working as it should, it's just not what I'm looking for.
I assume you last message is in reply to cocopuff, not me.

Back when I did research on this and made this thread, I found one forum post where somebody had the exact problem I had. He had the same mobo and even the same processor and the same weird behaviour. The forum thread was dead, but I asked him by email and he said he never figured it out.
Below is the response you received from Gygabytes: (my Motherboard mfg.)
Dear Customer,
The temperature is within the operating range and does not exceed it. There are no overheating issues.
Any problems you're facing?
Not much of an answer:
Issue Review: CUP temperature readings are elevated and persist high after a fresh boot, hovering around 40-42°C, but when I power on from sleep mode the CPU temperature drops to a steady 28-30°C at idle. Confirmed by two different software tools—AMD Over Drive and Speed Fan. Resuming from sleep shows accurate readings compared to similar systems, both at idle and under load. I suspect I might be getting false or incorrect temperature readings at startup? AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition with COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus and 4 case fans.
lol i'm facing the same issue with my specs.

i think the problem might be in the motherboard, maybe the temps sensors aren't working right for my hardware monitor. it always shows me around 13 degrees, but AMD says overdrive speed fan says 20-28 degrees at idle. when i put it to sleep it drops to 8-16 degrees, but during stress tests it jumps to 43 degrees instead of the expected 58 degrees i see.
Another similar problem though my MB has an LED CPU monitor and I can physically touch everything—it's running cooler, CPU, memory, after sleep mode. I have Windows 8 Consumer Preview and have completed the performance tests; it runs faster and cooler. I would like it to run even cooler during startup!
It looks like we've likely hit a Mobo fault, as most users experiencing this issue are affected. Either we wait for a BIOS update that resolves it, or we adapt to it.
We'll still investigate possible solutions and settings to address the wake-up temperatures or sleep problems.
I'm experiencing the same issue with my GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5. The TMPIN2 temperatures will display lower values in HWMonitor once I enter standby mode, and they won't return to normal until I restart the system. This happens with my AMD Phenom II 955 BE build, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5, CoolerMaster Hyper TX3, Silverstone Strider 600w, and 4GB Mushkin Blackline.
FWIW, Me Too!
I haven’t found much that matches this situation, so I thought it worth bringing up.
-New GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard (latest BIOS and driver pack) with repurposed components; FX-8120 (downcored 50%) with stock HSF fed room air, (2)G Skill F3-12800CL7-2GBRH, 400W PS, Saphire HD6670, Seagate ST3250310AS (Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and updated too), and more...
-CPU Temperature Fan Control range set from min 40C/or10%PWM to max 62C@100%PWM
-When I woke up from Sleep (Standby, S3, STR) it was noticed that the CPU junction temperature (shown in HWMonitor as TMPIN2 or 'CPU temperature' in BIOS) matched the CPU core temp (greater than 15°C lower)
-This affected how the software controlled the CPU fan speed, whether using BIOS or third-party tools like GB's EASYTUNE6, and also the BIOS’s own throttling/temp warnings
-So far, the only solution has been to completely avoid or disable Sleep mode – not acceptable unless there’s no other way to fix it
-As this hasn’t led to any major problems yet, I’m confident it won’t draw sympathy from Gigabyte, especially since similar issues haven’t caused big complaints before – just a minor annoyance compared to things like not posting, compatibility with brand X memory, or excessive smoke
-I’ve read that CPUcore is only reliable when it hits the theoretical limit, but this Tjunction vs Tcore issue shouldn’t overshadow the problem I’m facing since the BIOS is designed to react only to Tjunction
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
