I have a Pentium3-700 (100mhz FSB) with a socket 370 to slot 1 adapter so I can use it in my ASUS P3V4X (Via Apollo 133A) motherboard. I've also got 512 megs of PC133 ram. I wanted to try my hand at overclocking to get a little more juice out of my system while I'm saving up for an upgrade.
I've been reading overclocking tips and guides around the 'net, and everything seems to indicate that when you overclock, you should try to keep you temperature down around 120-130 degrees... and that without overclocking, the chip should be around 105-115 degrees. Is this correct?
Without overclocking, my chip temp sensor reads about 122-126 degrees (and I even took the case cover panel off and aimed a room fan inside the case to get improved airflow!)... and when I OC to about 126mhz FSB (882mhz processor), which is about the highest it will go and still run all my programs, the temperature sensor jumps to about 145-155 degrees.
I'm using Motherboard Monitor to keep an eye on the temperature and it even gave me an alarm yesterday while playing MS Flight Sim 2002 because my cpu temp reached 160 degrees. According to the BIOS control panel, this ASUS board uses a CPU temp sensor that is inernal (?) and therefore indicates more accurate (and usually higher) cpu temps.
Are these numbers too high (overclocked and not)?
Is the ASUS temp sensor giving different reading than what most pople get and that's why my numbers seem off?
I'm using the stock HSF combo that came with the chip... bad idea?
Would the socket 370 to slot 1 adapter being messing with the temp readings?
Thanks for any help / suggestions.
