Duron 800@945 temprature?

[Blackwolf]

My cpu temp seems to stay around 50C and i wonder if that is ok?
I´m using a super orb to cool it.

 

[RoboTECH]

well, my results have been quite interesting to say the least

I just built a Duron 800 + MSI K7T Pro2a system, and overclocked it to 1-Gig.

My goal is to maintain 1-Gig while lowering voltage as low as possible.

I just got done running RC5 with my case closed for 5 hours, and my temp maintained 45-46 Celsius. What is weird is that the thing idles @ 40ish with a FOP32.

Now....my chassis temp didn't get above 35, (32, actually), so I"m not sure what to think.

That "idle" temp seems kinda high, but then under load, 45-46 really seems like no big deal.

Mikewarrior? Thoughts? Is RC5 just not stressing things enough?

 

[Blackwolf]

I ran Q3 demo for a hour or so and it raised the temp to about 60C...
but about a minute after it was down to 55 again...hmmm should probably try to lower the voltage a little..it´s at 1,85V now

Blackwolf,

What mb, how's the case-cooling, and what heatsink?

[Blackwolf]

The mobo is a Soltek SL-75KV2
HSF Super Orb
ram selectra 128mb pc133 cas2

 

[Mikewarrior2]

one thing, the super orbs tend to really malf up temp readings(10-15C too low when using either orb cooler).

SO your temps are on hte definate warm side of things. I would look at adding some extra case cooling to your setup.


Mike

 

[Blackwolf]

Ahh forgot the case..just an ordinary(cheap) fulltower with no extra cooling =)

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Yeah, add some case cooling... Definately need good/extra airflow for athlon/t-bird/duron setups...



Mike

 

[Blackwolf]

Ok I thought about getting a new HSF,any recommendations?
And add more cooling to the case.
(sorry if my english is not so good I´m from Sweden)

 

[Blackwolf]

running at 60C right now

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Hmm... if you really want to get a new heatsink, i'd look at any of the taisol's. THe CGK742 is fairly inexpensive for the amount of performance.

Secondly, i think you'll get more from case cooling than you will from changing the heatsink. the cooler your case ambient temperature is the cooler the cpu.


Mike

 

[Blackwolf]

Thanks for the advice I will work on getting the case temp down.

Check out this danish website (Jeg er fra Danmark) http://www.webconsult.dk

They have a cooler called "Silverado" They claim, that it's capable of removing 100 Watts from your CPU.

Your sincerely, DanishGuy

 

[Mikewarrior2]

silverado's manufacturer rated efficiency is .61C/W. For a 1ghz chip, that means running it at near 30C over ambient.

For an FOP38, with a rated efficiency of .37C/W, it would mean a temp of around 20C over ambient case temp.

I don't see why noisecontrol would rate their heatsink higher than actual, but its possible.


Mike

 

[Blackwolf]

I have checked my casetemp now 35C so as I understand 55-60C(20-25 over casetemp) is normal
so down with the casetemp and it should be ok.

 

[DanishGuy]

MW2:

Yet again, I can only tell you what I've read on their homepage....

But the great thing about it is the noise level, not very high!

DanishGuy a.k.a. Gmork

 

[Blackwolf]

I added 2 80mm casefans (one in+one out) and now it idles at 46C and after 30mins of Q3 demo 50C
seems better now =)

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Blackwolf, that is a bit better.

DanishGuy,

That is also what I find from their web-page. Possibly some selective advertising? IT isn't too hard to make a heatsink that seems good considering that msot websites use socket a boards to test.(hence the Chrome orb looks like a killer heatsink).


Mike

 

[Blackwolf]

Added a third 80mm casefan even better now =)

MikeWarrior2:

Happy New Year!

Well, as long as it will cool my new 1 GHz T-bird without overclocking I'm satisfied for now.
I'm going for low noise solutions, so I've bought only Noise Control products so far.

Right now I've only got a Celeron 1 Slot 1 333@416, but I have ordered the new stuff.

 

[DanishGuy]

Hi again Mike...

I just checked Webconsult's homepage again, here are their ratings:

Silent .63 C/Watt | 15 m³/hour (CFM?) | 1300 RPM
Normal .50 C/Watt | 21 m³/hour (CFM?) | 1800 RPM
Turbo .40 C/Watt | 36 m³/hour (CFM?) | 3100 RPM

Sonogram of Noise (German)

It's still higher than the FOP38, but it should work perfectly at normal mode, right? (1 GHz@1 GHz)

 

[Mikewarrior2]

The normal and turbo models "should" not have problems with a 1gig t-bird. The silent is pushign it, as the CPU Core temp would be around 34-35C over ambient case temp under load.



Mike

 

[heng1028]

i can maintain the temp at 40celsius at 1gig with my duron800 and Pro2-A

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Heng1028,

What's your point. MSI board sucks for temp measurement.

I have a Duron 700 at 900 right now (won't quite do 950 at 1.85. I soon will do voltage mod and try for a gig.) on an A7V. I am useing the FOP-38 and my idle temp is about 32 Degrees while my full load temp is about 36 degrees. I highly recommend the Fop-38 if you can take the noise.
