good numbers?????

[GTI125]

P4 3.2C overclocked to 3.5
temp at idle 37.5C

this is what i have
abit IC7-MAX3
OCZ PC4000

 

[Algere]

Got load temps too?

 

[GTI125]

playing call of duty it only gets to about 42-43C

 

[Algere]

For how long?

I usually use Prime95, SETI@Home, etc. for a good 30 min. to an hour to drive the temps up real good. I also forgot to ask but what's the ambient temp too?

 

[Acanthus]

Decnt OC for a P4 northwood, but youre not even close to utilizing that memory.

 

[GTI125]

how do i utilize the memory?

 

[GTI125]

just ran SiSoft Sandra for about 30mins and the cpu temp only got to 42C, also the room temp is 68F

 

[Margalus]

run the torture test in prime95 to test for stability and load temps. The torture test is under the options menu. download HERE

I would say lower the multiplier and keep raising the FSB baby!! you can always lossen the timings a little on that good RAM, you should have no prob hitting 3.6-3.8 if you have good cooling. Is that RAM EL or standard? The unknown is always the cpu too, it might be a winner or it not be...its a crapshoot, but thats what makes OC'ing so much fun

Edit: BTW, follow Margalus and do every test you can do...always a good idea!

P4s are multiplier locked, I would crank that FSB way up.

 

[Soulkeeper]

well considering that my prescott at 3.2ghz idles at about twice that temp with that same motherboard.
i would say yur doing pretty good
