OC w/ stock

flamethrower205 · Mar 26, 2002

Some issues w/ getting my water cooling sys, so I'm just gonna pop in my 1.2Ghz AXIA anyway. With stock hsf, how far can I expect to OC w/ reasonable temps?

got my AXIA up to 1.46Ghz no problem from 1.0Ghz
runs at about 46 degrees celsius under load

using the heatsinks and fan that came with it from AMD??

i got my 1.2 atholon up to 1.47 at 50 c under full load with a retial heatsink

Supriseingly, yes

Fvck!! The CPU was DOA!!!NOOO! What happens is that when I turn on comp, it powers on (nothing is OC yet) no signal is sent through vid card, so screen is blank, and when I try to turn off using power button, ie right after I turned it on and there was no signal to monitor, I pressed power button, and no response- kept on working! This seems like a dead CPU to me- what do u guys think?

yep sounds dead to me.

I aint signing nothing!!!

flamethrower205 · Mar 27, 2002

hehe, maybe they can replace it with an AXP

If CPUs could talk...

"Hi flamethrower205, i'm feeling good today. Wait a sec...what are you doing with the heatsink? WHAT? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!"

Time of death-March 26, 2002

I would have to agree with everyone, you killed the Athlon...not on purpose mind you

flamethrower205 · Mar 28, 2002

I didn't kill it- I've taken the hsf on and off many times on CPU's, and then put it on my other 1.2Ghz which worked fine (I'm typing this using it).

How are your temps so low?? My current non OC 1.2Ghz (AVHA batch code) runs at 55-60º C! I just lowered to temp to 52º C max by using some antec silver paste and modifying the hsf so there's 3x teh fans on it.

Quetzacoatl · Mar 28, 2002

I don't know...just put the thermal paste on the die and plopped the HS on top. 46 degrees celsius isn't really that special. I usually have 42 degrees under no load or little work (MS Word, Notepad, Winamp, Internet Explorer)

is it possible my mobo's thermometer could be off by that much? It's reading 55 right now...

Quetzacoatl · Mar 28, 2002

I have never had very good experience with mobo monitors. I got a laser-based thermal monitor a while back. I think there is about a 5-10 degree margin of error in the mobo monitors (since it is based on voltage/amps/watts) connected to the fan headers or power supply. I'd be willing to bet you have anywhere from 45 to 50 celsius, which is probably a lot healthier for the processor too

No1kung1 · Mar 28, 2002

I helped flamethrower put on the antec silver thermal paste and i don't think his thermometer is that far off. When you feel that chip you better believe its running at 50+ degrees. The extra fan we added definitely reduced the temp by at least 2-3 degrees. Its not much but it helps when it comes to overclocking.

Quetzacoatl · Mar 29, 2002

Well, I never actually touched a chip that could possibly be over 110 degrees farenheit. Are you saying you can hold your finger on a 50 degree celsius surface for more than a second? Hehe, I could be wrong ya know. Btw, try thermal paste, namely Artic Silver, good stuff.

No1kung1 · Mar 29, 2002

...yeah it was pretty damn hot...and i know about artic silver, unfortuanately i could not find it in any of my local stores we called and went to 3 or 4.

Oh, I was thinking of an online order =/ the chip must've been really hot!

50C=122F

Thats cooler than my bathwater dude.

Is 60ºC cooler than ur bathtub water? BTW, the CPU is using Antec silver thermal paste....

You bathe in 120 degree bath water? Must have ballz of steel =/

I thought thermal paste was supposed to be unconductive...and DON'T go telling me that silver is NOT conductive

flamethrower205 · Mar 31, 2002

I think thermal paste is supposed to be thermally conductive, which is why it uses silver.....weeee! Temps are at 60ºC now under constant full load, even w/ my funky modified stock cooled that has 3 fans!

What kind of airflow do you have in your case?? Could be that you are not getting enough fresh,cool air in the case. If this is so the you are trying to cool your cpu with hot case air.
