cherry poppin' OC...

[poMONKey]

my first build and my first ( stable ) OC... check my rig for system specs


~ temps at about 44c idle and 60c under prime95 load , ( but stable... im workin on the temps :| ) and around 50c running quake3 @ 1024x768 high quality settings ~

150mhz fsb
pci/agp locked @ 33/67
2.7v dimm (300mhz)
1.650v cpu
1.6v agp


am i on the right track, cuz i cant seem to get to 160 fsb at all. ive tried some dif vdimm settings but didnt go past 2.8v.

my opinion keep going, thats only a 10% overclock but then again im an AMD guy so I dont know much about the 3ghz headroom



also what are your memory timings? that corsair should do 200 mhz @ 2 2 2 6 easily

thanx for posting the rig stats... lazy is as lazy does

mem is @ 300mhz... it definatley has some room...

my biggest concern now are the temps... i'll keep a tweakin the rest ~

im trying to scoop some info on 3.06 temps... i dont even know whats "normal" yet... maybe intel has made an amd-like temp jump in temps on this bad larry.

What are the airflow specs of those fans? And are you using AS3? My only reccomendation would be to get a different CPU HS/F, because 60c is kinda high.

2 - 80mm med speeds in the front

2 - 80mm high speeds in the back ( 84.1 CFM )

1 - 92mm med speed in the side

got the as3 workin'... have re-applied 2 times now...

Which way are all of the fans blowing?

 

[poMONKey]

sorry...

fronts are blowing in... backs are blowing out and the side is blowing out as well.

The P4 3.06 runs much hotter than it's predecessors, especially with HT enabled. I would think those temps were a little high, but I have nothing to base that on except the temps of my 2.4B.

Way too much air going out. You want intake and exhaust to be equal, or if anything have the intake be more. That way you have positive pressure in your case, and that will help to get rid of some of the dust. If you have everything blowing out, then you will be sucking air in through every little crevice in your case. I would consider switching some of those fans around if I were you.

i did a little test today about the HT enabled temp theory... my cpu runs cooler when in HT mode. by like 3-4 degrees...
