P4 3.0GHz C/800MHz... what are your temps?

[cm123]

Hi...

What are you all(s) P4 3.0GHz/800MHz C CPU temps under any load & idle? (not over-clocked)

I am curious what the norm(s) really are... outside of the test/review(s) in the real world use.


thanks...

Mine is idling at 42C right now, maxes at 56C.... Using a Zalman 7000 Cu, on full speed, and 5 Antec 80mm case fans, at 2800rpms.

40c .. idle 51c on full load .. the Stock cooling was way too load so i get a Valcano 7+ all copy 70mm fan
allot quieter thats for sure

Thats also with 2x 80mm Case fans

I agree the stock cooler does makes too much noise for me as well... when it speeds up it shook the whole case - had 4 of them and trying other coolers now.

Its looks as the one CPU fan I like the most runs right about where it should then (31C/87f idle & 121f under heavy load)...
...fannertech/speeze cooler - the fan is very quite (makes much less noise than my built-by R9800 Pro even) , the 3 pin power cable is wrapped (like antec & enermax power supplies power cable), and of course we can get them at a low cost ($10 or so) & performing much better therms than the P4 stock coolers I have/had.

My friend has a stock cooler as well. It's pretty dang loud but it keeps his temps under 57C under load. He idles at around 46-48C. It's kinda too hot, but he doesn't wanna spend anymore money on the computer. :-/

I'm kinda dissappointed by the performance of my Zalman 7000Cu... I thought it would cool better. I should have gotten a SLK900.

Hmmm I think it's the CPU dude... Pentium4's these days put out so much heat, so it's normal to get temps like that. I heard that Zalman 7000Cu is better than SLK900 and I think it's more popular right now. I might be wrong though...

These chips will run hotter than non HT enabled CPUs because more of the silicon is being used at once when HT is enabled.

Use more of the chip at a time == more heat.

I had a 2.6 OCed to 3.1 with a AVC Sunflower cooler and 70mm delta fan (3500 RPM) it runs cooler than the 3.0 with Swiftech MCX-4000 and 90mm panaflow that I now have.

p4 2.4c overclocked to 3.2 ghz
thermaltake spark7+

30c at idle max 41c
fan runs inbetween 3500-4000 rpm

max speed of fan is 6000 rpm

Oh yeah, I've since realized that the temps reported by my motherboard are entirely inaccurate. They are all about 7-10C too high. It's a known issue. So my temps are fine, my motherboard is some busted shiz though.

My 3.0C is on an Asus P4P800-D with an SLK900U + 92mm Panaflo L1A running at about 8.5V.

Idle temps at 75°F ambient are 33°C, 2xPrime95 load temps are 57°C.
