P3 Heat Concerns

[Englebert09]

I just got a new Asus CUSL2 Mobo w/ a p3 933. Right now it's running at 1099mhz and around 130 degrees F or around 50 degrees C. I was wondering what the limit on temp is for a p3. Thx for the help

More power? Hell yah!

Depending on the CPU, your max core temp would be 72C-75C.

I would definitely try to keep it well below this though. Typical operating temp is in the 30s.

improve your case air circulation , thus keeping the case temperature down can also reduce your CPU temp by quite a bit. typically, install at least 1 fan at the front for intake and 1 at the back of the case for exaust.

At around 55C these things can become unstable.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

well I did some work on it... I've got it running stable at 1099mhz @ 39 degrees C. So far it has all been with boosting the fsb. So I'm thinking that maybe tommorow I might mess around with the clock multiplier and see how it works out.

Remember that the multiplier is LOCKED in Intel CPU's. The only possibility of overclocking is using the FSB

is there any way of unlocking a P3 933 at all... I have a P3 933, asus CUV4X mobo and ledgend SD PC133 ram. I cannot OC it much at all before it stops booting... I head that this was due to really bad via chip sets on my mobo...???

Can someone please explain "system/pci frequency (MHz)" OK... I know the first is the FSB but why are certian FSBs only available with certian PCI freequencies? and what does the PCI frequency help...do??

Thanx i advanced
