Heat Question

[grrantry]

Hey All I was wandering What would U say is an Averge Heat range for a p4 1.6 a being overclocked to a 2.4

Info:

Valcano 478 HSF
FSB 150 mhz
16x Multiplier (Locked)
V.core 1.575
Tanks

anyone going to answer 🙁🙁

I've truly come to believe that it really depends on your motherboard. In other words, you have to compare the temperatures you're getting with people who have the same motherboard. (That is, unless you're getting something like 75 C -- then it's too hot for sure. 😉 )

For whatever reason, different motherboards report different temperature ranges.

Arschloch is right. What someone is getting as a temperature reading from their Asus board, let's say, may indeed be quite different from the reading someone is getting from their MSI board. Some boards read the temperatures a little bit high, some boards read the temperatures a little bit low, and some board read the temperature just right. I have a 1.8A@2.52 GHz that idles at 50C and goes to around 67C under a full load. This is on an MSI 845 Ultra-ARU motherboard. At first I thought this was too high, but then I talked to some other people who have the same motherboard, and the majority of them had high temperatures just like I did. Also, I dug into Intel's datasheet for the Northwood processors and found out that even if my temperatures were 100% correct, I'd still be within Intel's specs for temperature. (Take a look at the P4 Thermal Solution thread I started. A lot of interesting information about the Northwood chips in there, as well as a link to the datasheet.)

So unless you're getting temperature in the mid seventies under full load, don't worry about your CPU being too hot.

Probably should be idle 42-44c load 54-58c with stock hsf . My temps are idle 33-35c load 45 -47c @ 2682 mhz with alpha 8942 heatsink and 80 mm Y.S. tech fan with speed dial. 🙂

I have a thermaltake volcano 7+
at high speed fan setting i get: 28-30C idle and 40C load (6000RPM, actual 6000-6500)
at medium speed: 30C idle and 43 load (4800RPM)
at low speed: 31-32C idle and 47 load (3000RPM)
Vcore @ 1.700v
ASUS P4B266-C
System Temp: 24-28C
Room Temp: 21-25C
2 intake fans (80mmx25mm, thermal controlled), 2 exhaust fans (80mmx25mm, thermal conrtolled), and dual exhaust PSU fans (80mm and 92mm, adjustable currently @2200RPM)

I get 32c idle and 45 load. That's on a 1.6a@2.13. No voltage incrase which makes all the difference in the world.

 

[Mikki]

I get 35c idle and 49c load, 1.6A @ 2479, 1.65v, stock hsf.

 

[Pabster]

I get 29-32C idle and 43-47C full load. Stock HS/F w/ AS III applied. vCore 1.75 (1.6@2.4)
