Back to the stone age. P4 3.0c overclocking help needed

It is normal for the IC7 to read high on temps. I would take it easy on OC'ing until you get a better HSF though...

What are the typical safe idle and max load temps? I'm getting 68c under full load on Prime 95. This just doesn't look right! I'm surprised it hasn't crashed yet.

What kind of case cooling do you have?

 

[thirdlegstump]

Standard Lian Li mid tower cooling.
Basically 2 80mm intake fans that blow directly onto the HDD's on the front side, 1 80mm exhaust, Enermax 430W PSU with dual fans. I think all of the case fans are ADDA.

Now that I think of it, the last A-Bit board I had was an NV133R which also had abnormally high temp readings. I also have an NF7-S 2.0 which also reads a bit high but I think is accurate because I lose stability at normally expected temps with a 2800+ Barton.

It's currently doing 216MHz FSB (still within memory spec) 1:1 at 2.5-3-3-7 and had Prime 95 running the stress test for 2 hours straight without errors. Temps are reading 70.5c on stock HSF. I'm thinking that this board reads like 15c higher than usual.

No board reads 15C off. It's already been tested by a couple of people around here that your board reads between 8-10C high. You're gonna have to have more case cooling, if you want to get anywhere near 3.75ghz on air. For instance, a 92mm intake fan on the side panel, modify your 80mm hole for exhaust if it doesn't have a spot for a second 80mm exhaust fan. That setup would be fine, once you got your SLK-947u.

I have the PC-65 and it cools very well. I did replace the ADDAs with panaflows, though. I've used this case for quite a few setups and it always let me get the most out of the cpus.
