Help! Prescott 3.0Ghz

[scottchen]

Speeduk how could you run so cool?
The highest i could go at 1.6Vcore is 2270mhz, my temp still gets to 44C, but when i bump it up to 1.7Vcore, which gets me to 2430mhz, the temp only gets to 49C. So i guess there's a minimum heat difference between 1.6-1.7Vcore.

Coop,

I understand and appreciate if zero has issues with Intel, I have an issue with them-hot processors. It is just he should word his input to be "attacking" Intel for what they are doing wrong, not anyone trying to resolve issues. We are all here to get and give information for our passion-computers.

Seems my HT problem was purely a defect CPU. I just ran the system with a 2.8 Ghz NW and had no problem whatsoever, including Hyper Threading.
Now i will have to fight the shop for a new CPU.

u morons better prey that when i get a 3.0ghz prescott that it runs at 70c

Buying an overheating CPU wich can not make use of Windows XP 64 bit in a few months.
Looks to me you are the moron !


Toms Hardware Site is a joke !

Thats good then, at least you uncovered the problem. The shop should replace it for you, or else you can go direct to intel.

 

[ETPerth]

No I havent, but I cant use Athlon64 now that I just bought a Prescott, will have to buy a better cooler and live with it then... didnt imagine this could happen to an Intel cpu (used to have to worry about this for AMD cpu only)

Thanks for that mrmonsoon,

Please do let us know what Intel says about this. I think differnt makers fo m/board have differnt temp measurement and result will be different..

 

[mrmonsoon]

I understand that you would like to know what the normal and maximum
operating temperature are for your Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor at
3.0 GHz.

The maximum operating temperature for your processor is 70 degrees
Celsius. The normal operating temperature will vary depending on the
applications you may be using. For more information about Thermal
Management, please see the following website:

Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further
assistance.

That doen't make me feel very confortable about my full load temp. I am also looking into what endyn said about m/b temp sensors not being very accerate. I am also investagating what Scottchen said about vantec aeoflow cooling.

Many sources say that Prescot processors run much hotter than norwoods. I read in "www.theinquer.net"-very cool site with lots of good info- that Prescots put out 100-110 watts of heat, norwoods are only supposed to be in the 75-80 range. As I have read many posts at several sites and noticed two very seperate camps of P4 users. One complains they cannot keep their procssor cool, the other can't understand becouse their processor runs cool. Just like some processors (same type and speed) are very overclockable and some are not. It seems you and I have ones that run hot. I hpoe it doe not force me/you to go to water cooling.

Hi,
I just built mine on a Biostar board on 5-27-09 and when I lit it off it was running around 135F. I have a fan in front blowing air in and one in back bring it out and my case is all vented. So I removed the heatsink cleaned off the original paste and bought the Artic Silver type ceramic paste the sell at Radio Shack in a tube for $2.00 and installed it. I used very little on my finger to smooth it around the bottom of the hearsink in the area of contact. To much paste is worse than none they say. I started it up and after two hours I am running at 103F or 40C. My suggestion buy some better paste and put a thin layer on the bottom of your heatsink. Get rid of the old gray paste that comes on most heatsinks that all you do is pull away a piece of plastic.
