O/C an XP 2400+

[tontod]

I've been able to o/c an XP 2400+ to 2.2 Ghz, running at 50 deg. C. Should I try a better fan/heatsink to try it to run cooler before I try a bigger overclock?

what is the temps under full load and what mobo are u using?

Asus A7V8X-X. Right now, I'm mainly just running SETI. Just checked, its 48 deg. now.

Post your results if you go higher, I'll follow with interest. I got mine to 2.25 on an a7v8x-x - temps were lower though with an sk-7 and ys adjustable fan.

Do you feel you have any headroom in your overclock? If not, I don't know about spending the money on another hsf.

Maybe bring it up to what you can do on higher temps and benchmark it; if it's stable but the temps are unsatisfactory then it's time to upgrade, what do you think?

48 degrees while running SETI is pretty good.

my P4C often breaks 60C under full load

I'll take it to the next highest multiplier (17x). Currently at 133*16.5.

edit: it booted up at 2.27 Ghz, seems to be running fine. Asus Probe is reporting 48C. I'll let it run overnight and see if temps change. SETI is currently running.

I turned on the record feature in ASUS probe, and over a period of about 3 hours, the temp hovered between 54C and 56C. A bit on the high side, I think. Time to get a bigger/better fan/heatsink.
