What kind of temps are you 2.4Cs getting?

[Byte]

Wow another day goes by, its getting hotter here in Hawaii, and my CPU temps dropped another 5 degrees! I wish i was a processor...

I switched to a Asus P4P800 and my temps are even lower! The asus must be the opposite of abit when it comes to temps. Anyways the Asus is leagues faster than Gigabyte board. I wonder whats wrong with the Gigabyte board...

The asus board ties the gigabit lan into the PCI bus. Best 875 boards are the Abit for overclocking and the Intel if you just want stock

Good airflow in that case

Posted this in a few threads, but for any curious

Asus P4P800-UAY (non deluxe) with 1007 BIOS
P4 "C" 2.6 @ 3.25ghz (1000 fsb 400 ddr)
SLK-900U with 92mm Panaflo L1A @ 12v
Corsair TwinX 512 PC3200LL @ 2-3-3-6 (going to tweak this later)
Antec Sonata with factory 120mm exhaust fan on fan-only

running two instances of Prime95 @ 100% CPU it goes to 41 CPU 35 MB (temps now match across MBM5, Asusprobe and BIOS).
idle 25 cpu 29 mb

No idea if it is reporting low or not, but it's great so far.

Been meaning to post here for a while, but one of my Corsair XMS3500 sticks couldn't hit stock speeds, so I've had to send it back (now running 1 stick in single channel). Contrary to what some people assume, I've found that the Sonata is not bad for oc'ing (my brother has the same rig, but an Antec 1040AMG...he has higher temps then I do). Again, my rig is P4C800D, 2.6c, corsair XMS3500C2. Here are some temps (loaded means running Prime95 for many hours and seeing where the high point is):

Case fan on "fan only" header (FSB - CPU Idle/CPU Loaded/Mobo)
200 - 42/50/30
210 - 44/51/30
245 - 43/52/30
250 - 46/57/30

At this point, I thought things were getting high. So, I connected the case fan to a regular header:
200 - 38/42/25
255 - 43/52/26

I plan to o/c higher, once I get my RMA'd corsair stick back (I could only hit FSB210 in dual channel). FSB above 210 are all with 5:4 divider. This on another vein, but these new rigs o/c like crazy. At 255FSB, my 2.6c is running at 3.32GHz. Should be able to go higher too.
