but the prescotts are hot
I think you're right. Why are you complaining about temps and overclocking at the same time?

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.
The Presler core is going to bring Intel back into competition with AMD. We'll have to see how the new AMD M2 socket processors perform. Hopefully AMD will trump Intel again, but some good competition never hurt anyone!

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.
lol, PrescHOTts. I think you're right.

so, what is the higher temp that can handle an amd, like an opteron or a x2?
I have no idea what you wrote here. Try being legible, please.

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.
For sure.

Its a good spaceheater, thats about it.
That's about right. I can't justify buying a Prescott, despite my extreme multitasking, because of its excessive heat output and poor efficiency. Oh well. Yay for AMD and amazing A64 overclocking performance!

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...
Nice, man.

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.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure throttling is going to come into effect at 70C+, so the OP's overclock is probably hurting him a lot more than he thinks.

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

Nasty throttling going on here. Stock cooling, 3.6 o/c to 4.3. 2MB L2. 3DMark05 is 2000 points LOWER at 4.3 vs. 3.6 because of this. :Q
Yikes!
