I'm at a bit of a loss.
I've been running a stable 3.6Ghz (16x225) for a couple of years, but frankly haven't looked at temps since I got it stable (and don't actually recall if my temps were this high then and I was just an idiot...)
Reading the OC guide at the top of this forum, I discovered the Intel spec site, and found this for the Pent D 840: D 840 A0 processor info. Imagine my surprise to see the thermal spec of 69.8C while looking at my idling CPU temp of 90C. Gee, I wonder if that's why my framerate was better unclocked
Great. I reset to 16 x 200. Idle temps were in the mid 70s. Read the web like a madman and found a post about overvolting stock settings.
Long story short, I'm stable at
vcore = 1.281v
vmem = 1.8v
vfsb = 1.3v
nForce SPP = 1.35v
nForce MCP = 1.55v
HT SPP <-> MCP = 1.3v
Great, I thought. I'll check this out... 70.5C at idle (in several tools, including OCCT and Speedfan). System temp was 74C at idle.
I've also noticed that my idling 12V rating is 10.41v (which drops into the 9.4x range at 100% on both cores if I step up the FSB).
This is far more monitoring than I've ever done when OC'ing before and frankly I'm amazed at the power of all these software tools
I need some help.
Why am I running such high temps with a Typhoon installed and running (although I can't make it spin past 1350rpm and it's rated range is 1300-2000rpm), a 9" case fan, another 120mm top vent fan, 2 PS fans, etc...
Specs:
Pent D 840 A0
EVGA 680i SLI A2 (with bios flashed)
Corsair PC2-6400 DDR2 (5/5/5/18 @ 1.8v) (2x2mb)
BFG GeForce 9600GT SLI x2 (unclocked, but is oc'd by BFG)
Two SATA drives (but no raid)
I'm running Vista Biz x86 at present (and yes, stepping up to x64 this week).
I'll try to troubleshoot the typhoon later on today. From what I've read, it isn't as good as, say, a Zalman, but is supposed to be better than 70.5C! Any adivce on the fan or the volt drop?
TIA!
