is your overclocked duron running too hot? read this!

I would just like to point out that my duron ran at 43C at idle while at 850mhz. I could get 900mhz but it shot up to 47C real fast and never went below 44C. I bought a new case (fong kai 320) and now i am at 900mhz @ 1.85v with a temp that goes back and forth between 39-40C. When i am gaming it goes up to 43-44C. The new case made all the difference in the world for me!

What was your old case? why did the fong-kai make such a difference? I have an inwinq500 which is an excellent case but has terrible airflow. I ran a duron 600 at 950-980 at 43c idle...and almost 50 during full load. I just leave the case open now with no fans and it runs fine at 38-39c at idle or light load.

With a KT7 if the bios says 1.85 you're actually @1.91.
I'm 700@936, and it's 47 full load with 5 hours of cpu stability test.
same case as you.
How did you set the additional fan?

To Usul
What you say if in bios shows 1.85V it rans at 1.91V.
Please send me all Vcore for ABIT KT7.

KT7 gives you a extra 0.06V.
Try to set any voltage in the bios, and ceck it with Motherboard monitor 5, or Via Hardware Monitor!!!!
You'll find an extra 0.06V, only for the Vcore, all the other voltages are regular

 

[Hala]

Yes, you right.

Not on all KT7s. I got a KT7-RAID, and it shows 1.75 in Via HW and Motherboard Monitor
