1700+ @ 2200Mhz, 1.7v - 65C?

I've scattered this question in other general overclocking threads but it hasn't received much attention.

I have a 1700 0307vpmq on an Abit NF7-S v2.0. Cooling is an SK7, fan is a 32cfm panaflo m1a. I have good case cooling, as the case temp (measured over the cpu fan) is only 5-6C over ambient temperature. I made sure to follow the instructions for arctic silver to the letter as well as the popular advice on installing the SK7: slide back to the attached side before clamping down the other side. I even reinstalled the hs/fan after cleaning the chip and hs and reapplying the AS2. Still reading 65C under load from F@H.

I tried 1.75v @ 2300 (optimistic, I know) last night and it bluescreened not long after hitting 73C while Priming for stability. Any takers on this one?
 
You're the only one who ever responds to my threads. 🙂 It's my understanding that I might see a 3-5C drop in temps with an SLK800. I see people running much more voltage, more mhz, less cfm, and significantly lower temps (15-20C). Am I missing something here?
 
hmm, maybe your temp sensor and its placing (too close to the CPU?). I have the same board, although rev. 1.2 and get 40 to 50°C, although running a fan with 20 to 70 cfm. SK7 too. But I agree, your temps are WAY to high. How high is your OC atm? Tried different CPU? How high is your room temp?
 
Room temp is only around 22C (70-73F) which is pretty good. My oc right now is 11x200, 1.7v (1.63-1.66v indicated) and stable as can be. I'd give it the juice if I could find a temperature reading I could trust.

Sensors:
My system temp is 38C which also seems a little high. I'm using Winbond1 as my sensor for that. The other 2 Winbond1 sensors erroneously read 117C.
My CPU temp, as I said is 65C read by Winbond2. Winbond2 2N3904 reads -41C. Winbond2 diode is -17C.
My 3rd sensor (system?) reads -47C from Winbond3 and 127C from both Winbond3 2N3904 and diode.

Bios confirms that my system temp is indeed 38C and my cpu temp is 65C when I reboot the machine and quickly check.
 
You probably have it seated incorrectly...try to reseat the heatsink and make sure you are using a good thermal paste...may even try to lap the hs, something is very wrong with those temps..what are your temps with default speed and vcore?
 
I have installed the heatsink twice. I've seen what happens when it's not seated properly - temps have skyrocketed by the time you get to bios (did that on my brother's athlon XP with his SK7.) While I never lap my heatsinks (I read that thread already. 🙂) I do think it felt a little "groovy" compared to other heatsinks I've used. So groovy in fact that I could make a noise by dragging my fingernail across it. I'll give it a try at default voltage and clock and post the results.
 
(edit: DEFAULT VOLTAGE) It's running significantly cooler now. System temp is 30C, CPU is still @ 48C under full load from F@H. I have an 8045 on my tbird in the other room which I'm hoping will install on my mb properly... I don't have the set of mounting washers for the "other" types of motherboard, so I'm hoping both mb's use the same type of washer.

I've noticed that the heatsink gets pretty hot. Not to the point of burning me, but more than just a bit warm.
 
Ok, I now have my old 8045 on my chip. It has dropped my cpu temp by 2C, big whoop. My system temp is down by 4C though, which is nice, though I don't plan on pushing my fsb much higher.
 
OK Re-read your post and I am not sure what the deal is. I wm running 1.7volts and I am sitting at 52c full load with a 8045 with 92mm fan. Case temp is 30c. How much as2 are you putting on?
 
I'm not sure what the deal is either. 🙂

I put a very thin layer on the cpu, spread out with a credit card. Slight haze of the stuff on the heatsink.

How are you running a 92mm fan on your 8045?
 
I suppose it would be possible to try my tbird on it, no? Kind of a big hassle to uninstall and reinstall my alpha on it and the SK7 which is now used to cool the tbird on my kt7a-raid. I was looking for a simpler fix.
 
I wish I could help you. My 0304 1700 tbred runs way up to around 73C as well, with a dynatron HSF (which was AMD's stock cooler up to around the xp 2000's or so). That was at a little over 1.7v at around 2250 mhz. I've got a few different HSF's around so I play around with them. The GC88 that I have is by far the worst (tho it's rated for a 2600+ and higher). I ended up slapping my old WBK38 (all aluminum, 7200 RPM 60 mm fan) on there and that works well. It has an awesome clip so it's super easy to take on and off. I don't get too much higher than 53C now (35-38C case temp). Louder than crap tho.
 
So you are now running 48C under load overclocked? If so there is nothing wrong now, but if that is stock clocked, then that seems pretty hot. My 1700+ 11x200 1.63v actuall runs 52C under load. Epox 8RDA, syst temp 36C.
 
I should have mentioned that my "cool" 48C was @ default voltage (1.5v) and stock clock of 1466mhz. Overclocked and juiced up to 1.7v (1.65v actual) it's still hitting 62-63C with the alpha in a cool room. In a hot room I top 68-69C.
 
Something is not right. I have a 1700+ cpu running at 209x11=2300mhz @1.7v. It used to be around 41-43C while in the internet with my alpha 6035. Now it have a slk800 and it is at 37C right now. What is your case temp? Mine is 30C right now.

yah, swapping a couple of bolt on hsf's is not fun. I was mostly curious, to see if it persisted with the mobo.
I could trade you my dut3c to try, to see if it is the chip or mobo. It is not my only rig, for sure🙂
 
Case temp is around 23-28C, depending on where I put my probe. Unfortunately this is a large probe or I'd stick it next to the cpu.

I'm not able to measure my fan speed with these panaflos, though it is blowing a decent amount of air.

Skyking, I appreciate the offer. I'm going to see if I can wring any answers out of abit before making any time consuming swaps though. 🙂
 
If it's stable at 2200, why do you worry? Chances are your board is like my 8K3A+ and doesn't read the temps correctly. Stability is all that matters. Nice 700+MHz OC, btw 🙂

No problem. Mine is at the wall at 2 gig and 1.8 volts, so not much of an overclock here.
I can approach it with either high fsb and low multi, or vice-versa, it does not matter.
temps are 38 idle, 46 load, with a 5$ gc68 cooler😉
 
study the position of your computer in whatever room you're keeping it in...i moved my a7v133 1.3 t-bird to a different location in my room..away from the window (old house heat escapes fast through them) and also moved it from off the floor onto a bench 2.5 ft off the floor...this alone raised my temps 5-6C

but i live in an older house (first built pre-1900, renovated a few times since), so my situation is a bit different

i dunno just something to check
