Does anybody out there still own one of these? How hot does yours run? I have one and it runs at 120-125 degrees. Is this too hot?
It is not overclocked.


 
Yes. Way too hot.

I decased my Sl2S7 Malay and slapped a dual ball bearing fan heatsink on it and cranked her up to 464MHZ. It isn't multiplier locked🙂 I figure...slap on a peltier and alpha, and I could take it to 500MHZ. It wasn't gonna spend anymore on it so I gave it to my friend. Both he and I see it reach temps no more than 34C.

What m/brd are you using ? different m/brds measure cpu temps in different ways giving different temperatures for the same cpu

Ulysses
lol ,maybe he should check it witha gieger counter?😉
 
Well, I'm still running one of these suckers and my temp are ~36C mostly. Maybe cuz I have a dual fan heatsink? Haven't figured how to get this to oc yet but hopefully I'll find some links soon.

How does your m/brd measure the cpu temps?

AntiAbit
When I have a chance I'll try my PII 400 @ 448 in my main PC ,this uses the thermal diode in the cpu to measure cpu temps & will give the highest readings compared to other methods
 
Mine idles at around 46C and during heavy load can rise all the way to 62C. I blame it on the fact that the wires in my case are very unorganized and block airflow. I plan to clean them up pretty soon, so I'll give you an updated number then. However, I do remember that before I added the extra stuff, 54C was the peak after days of running SETI.
 
No, I haven't joined a team yet. As soon as I get my motherboard/CPU upgrade done, I'll probably join you guys.
 
I hope you do ,& a welcome in advanced 🙂.
Any SETI questions ,pop over to the Distributed Computing Forum section & ask away 🙂
 
I'm running a Slot 1 SECC1 PII 400@496 , with stock heatsink and double fans..I figure its one helluva oc for this kinda cpu..mobo is EPoX 61BxA-M.Runs at 36-38 C depending on load. (temps taken using the thermal diode, in Epox's USDM thingy for measuring the temps, voltages, and fan speeds.)
 
ah, the BH6 uses a sensor near the cpu slot which is not very accurate! ,I believe that antiAbit's Asus CUBX uses the thermal diode in the cpu (or possible a sensor in the S370) which is more accurate & will give much higher readings than your m/brd.

 
I had dual 400's (out of IBM PC300 GL's [huge heatsinks]) running at 496 on Asus p2b-d, I think they would have went at 532 if it werent for the agp. Running dual 933's on same board now. the 400's hardly got WARM!
the both of them only had one 4 inch fan twist tied over them and It worked fine.
