    XP-120 Temperature Poll !

    OK I'll start Intel 650 3.4G @ 4.25G, Asus P5AD2-E with XP-120 and Panaflo Ultra speed fan. Ambient 21C, Idle 44C, Loaded 57C. How's that compare? I'm replacing this with a Corsair Cool water cooling kit tomorrow so hope these will drop and let's me overclock to 4.4G at least with lower...

    socket 775 heatsinks

    43C is impressive, I'm using the same MB, HS. I get 57C running Intel 650, 253x17=4300 @ 1.5 Vcore. Even on stock 3.4G @ 1.4 Vcore I get load temps of 48C. Which fan are you using to cool your XP120? What are your ambient temps?

    Thermaltake 120mm A2018

    The CFM is accurate if not understated. I'm using 2 of these in a case and the noise levels are slightly louder than the Panaflo 120mm U1 I'm using to cool the cpu. It defintely pumps out more air than the Antec 120mm LED fan and even better than the Silverstone Fm121 fan that states 103 CFM :P

    3.0 2MB L2 cache not found in iNtel db? OC'ing advice needed.

    There's also a threshold below which fans will operate at the chosen throttle.

    3.0 2MB L2 cache not found in iNtel db? OC'ing advice needed.

    I think it was available on P5GD2 and P5AD2 for some 5xx cpus, usually those on the higher thermal specs like 550, 560 and 570. Changing QFan will affect those fans connected directly to the MB for sensors and power.

    3.0 2MB L2 cache not found in iNtel db? OC'ing advice needed.

    I have the same board but the 650, did you manage to find the CPU lock free submeu in the Bios under CPU section? This was a feature that allowed some 5xx cpus to run at 14x multiplier so allowing overclocking of the FSB to high levels. I wanted to run the board at 266 FSB and 14x multiplier...

    XP90 temps normal on overclocking?

    Stable at 1.4375 VCore. To get 4300MHz need to raise VCore to 1.475V but then when running 2 x Prime 95 the temp reached throttling... I can get much higher speeds but need extra VCore and the XP90 is not doing it for me. What kind of temps are others getting when overclocking their Intel...

    XP90 temps normal on overclocking?

    Ok ambient temp is 21C, using XP90 with arctic silver 5 and a Delta 92mm 69CFM fan. All this is cooling an Intel 650 overclocked to 247x17=4201 and loaded 100% with 2 x Prime 95, temps rise and remain constant at 59C. Is this the limit of air cooling? Any hopes of improvements with XP120 and...

    Overclock Intel 650

    I think I maybe in trouble come summer, I'm in Hong Kong and temp is now 16 degrees. Come summer it will hit 35s! If I continue with this setup at 54 degrees and run all at 100% I don't think I can compensate for a rise in ambient temps of 19 degrees +! What is the best in air cooling for...

    Overclock Intel 650

    OK currently running 4.25G with 1.45 VCore on 90% Fan power and burning in using 2 x Prime 95 large FFT. The temp at idle was 36 and on 100% load is 54. This should give me some headroom. Any ideas what the default VCore is for a 650? I read it was 1.4 but some magazines have claimed 1.43...

    Overclock Intel 650

    So I'm stuck at 4.25G? Ireally wanted to reach 4.3G stable in 2x Prime 95, Will upgrading to a XP120 help?

    Overclock Intel 650

    OK I'm on a coolermaster hyper 48 now, swapped the default fan with a 9cm Delta fan and running at 1.4875 V and 252 FSB, trying to get Prime 95 stable, the throttling temp reported by the motherboard changes. When I was trying to get stable at 1.4375V and 248 FSB it was 61/62 but now on 1.4875...

    Overclock Intel 650

    The faster the better right? =) Seriously though I can boot into Windows and run other benchmarks at 256 FSB etc but having to raise VCore I wanted a better HSF. 2 x Prime 95 really raises the temp like no other app. 253 will give me 4.3GHz, 259 will give me 4.4 GHz. Just wanted to maximize...

    Overclock Intel 650

    Ok running on Asus P5GD2 with Zalman 7700 cooler, to get Prime 95 stable need to run Vcore at 1.4375 with 248 FSB. This pushes the Temp to 60 degrees C as reported by PC Probe. If I want to go higher than 248 FSB then need more VCore but once I use 1.45 VCore the temp exceeds 62 degrees C and...

    ATI X850XT in Asus P5GD2 Premium MB?

    Built my PC last week using these 2 components. Ran into trouble when I tried to insert the ATI X850XT graphics card as it uses 2 bays and the oversized plastic cooler that channels the hot air out the 2nd slot is too low to the board and will block off the 2 1394b sockets on the MB so I can't...

    New Intel 630 has locked multiplier?

    Using the Intel 630, 2Mb Pentium 4 3.0GHz Cpu on Asus P5GD2 motherboard and discovered it has locked 15zx multiplier with no 14-15x for Enhanced speedstep as suggested in all the 6xx CPU reviews on the web. Does anyone know if this is because the MB Bios hasn't been updated or if the Enhanced...

    New Intel 6xx series available

    I'm worried under CPU-z I do not see the multiplier of my 630 3.0G cpu as being variable between 14-15 and it doesn't drop into power saving mode either. My motherboard Asus P5DG2 Premium already has latest version Bios installed. Anyone know what's going wrong, I see under CPU-Z that the name...

    New Intel 6xx series available

    Ok bought a 630 today, default 3.0GHz, overclocking stably at 3.75GHz using Asus P5GD2 and running DDRII at 667. Temps are constantly at 52 degrees centigrade while running CPU burn-in. Can't go over this freq as my WD Raptor SATA can't be recognized at post, anyone have any ideas how to get...
