prescotts....

Sometimes when its ridiculously hot, it could be that the HSF is mounted wrong. I did that with my Celeron D and I knew it, my temps were:

62C at BIOS
80C at one point

I got a new HSF since I damaged the one I got initially and after proper mount I got:

48C at BIOS
44C with Intel Thermal Monitor

60C being the highest ever been


The 90C reported at Inquirer net about overclocked Presler at 4.26GHz is also HSF mismount, as sources close to Intel say it should be around 50C, one of the guys from AT said with good air cooling, Presler got 45-50C at 4.5GHz. Go to ABXzone's Intel section for the results, and look for bingo13.

thanks
 
Take a look at your HSF and make sure the knobs are pushed all the way in. The one way to look at that is by looking at individual knobs at the side, and make sure the black plastic part of the heatsink is below the white notch part of the heatsink.

Though looking at your OC, it could be that it just runs hot. My Celeron is only clocked at 2.53GHz.

thanks again, I just underclock it to 3.0, i guess what, at full load it was at 67C, thats weird 1ghz and just a couple of degrees hotter
 
Yes they are hot, in fact many call them prescHOTts. i think when Intel went from the northy to the prescott, which is no faster but hotter, they really started losing it. Some prescotts overclock pretty well, and fortunately they can handle high temperatures, but damn, its just a lot of watts.
 
well most of them never even touch 50C at load...lol. Quite honestly though, they're very energy efficient, and even highly overclocked opterons and x2's end up dispersing less heat than most prescott chips.
 
My school has computer labs of 30+ Celeron D Prescott based machines running @ stock speeds, and those rooms become an adjunct office to hell when all thos machines are up and running simultaneously.

lol 🙂
 
they are hot, no question about it. My dual core A64 at 2.6 is loading at 36C right now with 1.425 vcore. That is with a TT big typhoon but still...

mine is at 72C at full load..... (with my room A/C on ) and I have a cuple of case fans.... d@mn, I hate those temps....

Probably should check for throttling. Throttling kicks in around 72c at stock voltage. If you had to raise the vcore any to get to 4ghz, it's almost guranteed to be throttling. Run throttlewatch while dual prime95'ing.
 
throttlewatch does not work, you have to use S&M to monitor the speed. At least for my 820D thats the case.

Just wondering why you put in the Topic Summery: men they are hot!! :shocked:

LOL!, Iam a guy, but that make me laugh 🙂

also, I just run prime 95 and S&M and throttlewatch, good thing, there is no Throttling
 
I also have a 3.4, now at 3.8. It can do 4.0, but it's summer down here in Australia and I don't have an air conditioner (stupid scorching Aussie weather...). At 3.8, temps can reach up to 70 - 73 on a warm day using Prime95's maximum heat torture test. After a while it starts to throttle.

I hate it when it throttles, and the bar for when it starts throttling goes down as you raise clockspeed. Even more so for voltages. A slight voltage adjustment can cause the chip to start throttling even if the temperature remains the same as it was before the voltage adjustment.

Throttlewatch does work correctly with the pentium 4, just not with the dual cores.
