Overheating my OC'd Althlon Tbred B 2400+??

[monkeyboy2323]

I've OC'd my 2400+ to 2.25 ghz @ 166fsb on an Epox 8RDA+ board (1.175 vcore and zalman copper flower cooler). The temp at load according to sisoft sandra after 3 hour loop is approx 55 centigrade. Am I killing my chip? It works stably enough on Unreal II for hours..

Anyone got a similar setup for a comparison?

55C at full load is just fine for AMD chips. And if you're voltage is set at 1.175v, you are doing GREAT! No really, the default is 1.75v, how much if any did you bump it up?

If the temp reading is from the on-chip temp sensor, 55C is kewl.

My Xp2400(12*175) runs at 68C under prime95 and 53C while idling.
These temps are from the on-chip sensor using software called Speedfan.

Asus probe reads my full load temp as 48C and idle temp as 33C.
It seems that there is a 20C difference between mobo temp sensors and on-chip sensors.

I believe the max real temp for our chip is 85C

it's fine & STABLE like you said

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice. I bumped up the vcore 3 notches(1.65 to 1.725 - scuse the earlier typo!). Time to start pushing the fsb now I know the chip is fine and dandy...
