OCed Barton temps

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

mine seems too hot, i really want input to compare my results to everyone else who is air cooling their OCed bartons. i currently have a volcano 12(@3300rpm) on mine and its at 2.4ghz, i get a 52C idle temp and 61C load temp. my case temp is always about 30C. if i crank the fan to its god awful loud 5500rpm top speed i get about 52C load but i'm not willing to deal with the noise.

please post your air cooled barton temps, speeds, voltages, heatsink/fan,etc. this forum could use a sticky thread collection of it anyhow

I'm running a Mobile Barton 2500+ @ 2.479gHz (11.5x215) @1.7v... I'm using a SLK-947U with a Tornado fan @ 3000RPM... My idle temp is 35C while my load is around 38-39C.... My case temp ranges from 18-22C

I disagree with that. Temps don't mean squat...stability is all that matters. Stability can occur at 35* or at 60*. And before anyone chimes in with heat versus life expectancy...people who overclock their chip know dang well they 'aint gonna use it for more than a couple of years. Secondly, every mobo (intra and inter-manufacturer) reports temps differently, so comparisons are worthless.

although i agree, everyone still needs some sort of general idea to go on. and temp does matter in relation to stability because the cooler it runs the higher i can get it to run stable which is the overall goal of these processors. motherboard thermal diodes are all generally accurate within a few degree anyhow so its better than a guessing whats normal and whats not.

My XP2500 @ 2.2GHz is stable at 1.7v and full load gets to almost 80 degrees.

Try using CPUBURN

80C? lol that's darn near core limits!

Abit NF7-S v2

12 x 209 = 2508MHz 1.76v @ 60C under full Prime 95 load (room temp 24C)

Antec SX1040B clone case w/ Antec TC 550w & 5 additional L1A case fans

[*]As long as your full load temps are under 65C you are fine.

General concensus is that my thermal diode is accurate and everyone elses is wrong.

Or the other way around. Something like that

"As long as your full load temps are under 65C you are fine."

well i upgraded my heatsink a two days ago, which dropped my temp by 5C, this allowed me to get an extra 100mhz. so even though i've always stayed under 65C, getting lower temps is my main priority. i'm going to order a better 130cfm rear case fan and get rid of this zalman thermal paste and use arctic silver 5 in the near future.
