Just kind of a little poll, what VCORE (core voltage) are you overclocking Tbird owners running. Also, what kind of cooling do you have and whats your idle/ full load temps? I hope this can kind of be a "go-to" post for anyone with temperature and voltage questions. Ill post mine as soon as I get done tweaking my overclocking.

1.85v Core
133x9 = 1200mhz
Idle: 33.4 C (right now)
Load: 35-36 C
 
1.93 Vcore (reported)
TBird 800@1008 9x112 (KT7)
Swiftech MC462
idle 26C
load 38C

well i after applying my Artic Silver 2 (what an experience, brought my temps down about 8c!!!!) and playing around with my overclocked settings (on 800 tbird), i found the highest stable speed to be 997.5mhz (9.5 x 1005)!!!! I am just 2.5mhz from having a gig, the magic 4 digit number, DARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

VCORE: 1.85v
Cooling: GlobalWin FOP 32-1 (lapped) w/ Artic Silver 2
Idle Temp: around 40
Load Temp: around 45

a question for you guys: how the hell do you have so low of temps? i have a damn good cooling system yet im about 10c higher than you, anyone have any ideas?

The only consistant (precise) way to measure temps is with an external probe. Every motherboard is different, and like 'Asus Probe', some do a little interpretation of the actual temperature for you so you get a more 'accurate' reading of the processor.

A comp-u-nurse works well, if you can get it close to the cpu without crushing the thermistor.
 
AMD Thunderbird-B 1100Mhz (10x100) @ 1133Mhz (7,5x151)
VCore: Default (1,7 or 1,75 i think)
Board: Asus A7V133
Temp: 47ºC idle / 52ºC load [yeah, with Crappy HSF(tm)]

But also 12,5x100 (1250Mhz) works well too, i just prefer FSB OC rather then regular processor OC
 
TB 850 on Asus A7V133a
Taisol HSF
1.85v Core
133x7.5 = 1000mhz
Idle: 58 or so (I'm always running SETI)
Load: 58-61c

I know that seems pretty high right? I posted in the forum a few weeks ago asking if anyone with the Asus A7V133a board was seeing such a high temp and I had a few replys from guys telling me that their temp was registering VERY high on that board. But on previous boards it was fine.

Someone suggested that the temp monitor was positioned too close to the CPU but I haven't checked yet. My temp is still well within operating spec (80c is the max I think) and the machine is stable under 98/2k so I'm not too worried. But when I see the numbers posted here I can't help but feel a little nervous. Aside from getting some Arctic Silver anyone have some suggestions? The machine runs at 56c when the voltage is 1.70 so the O/C isn't pushing it up that much.

Other factors: Appartment room temp = 74, Side of CPU case is always OFF, a bigger Fan for the HS is not possible (the machine sounds like Wind Tunnel as is and my Appartment is small). HS compound from RadioShack took the temp down about 0c. Sigh.

Enjoy your cool CPUs and worry free lives....
 
well, since youre always running seti, i would say that would bump up the tmep since your cpu is always cranking away calculations, but thats just my speculation
as for my situation, all is not so well as i thought. my machine has started having memory errors (under w2k) a tell-tale sign that my overclock is unstable. right now im at 9.5x105 on an tbird 800 w/ A7V so im thinkin of bumpin the multiplier down to 9 and the fsb up just a tad if it will work. my vcore is still at 1.85 and my temps have risin with my case sides closed up to about 46 idle, not too bad but still not too great.

2.13 (well i was before it screwed).

right now:
1.75, 6.5x140, PEP66t, idle 32C load 37C.

sandra, motherboard monitior and bios all rate my cpu 10 degrees C less than Asus Probe on A7V133! I was worried until I realised that Asus was outvoted. My CUV4X seems consistent with Asus probe and other software monitors though (same version).

Okay, I have:

1333 Type C running 11x142 @1.85V = 1562Mhz
Asus A7V133
Swiftech 370-D w. generic thermal paste.

Don't have an idle temp - always crunching seti, never power off.
Load temp 48-50 degrees centigrade.

I have a Fop38 and some Artic II in the mail and I'll see if it gets better.

i have my 800 tbird stable at 8.5x105 and i am amazed at the difference the fsb makes. i used to run it 9.5x100 and now i get about 500 more 3d2001 marks than before. im gonna try 9x105 (my computer WILL NOT run with fsb above 105) and if i cant get taht runnin, im gonna try and lower my voltage. also, when i put my case side on, it raises my cpu temps by about 5 deg celcius!!

I've got a couple of them,

#1 DURON 600 @ 1100MHz ASUS A7V 1.92V Global Win FOP32 + two case fans. 54/56C load

#2 DURON 600 @ 1110MHz ASUS A7V133 1.92V Global Win FOP32 + four case fans. 49/53C load

I've read that the ASUS Probe reads temps as much as 10C higher than actual. Mine are running rock solid, I watch the temps more for an unexpected rise in the readings than the readings themselves.

well i downloaded sandra just to do some checking (hehe, i have wcpuid, sandra, and asus probe all running right now) and ive found that asus probe v. 2.12.07 on my Asus A7V 1007 reports the exact same temps as BOTH my bios and sandra. it also reports the correct fan rpms and core voltage.
I just bumped up to 9x105 and im at 41 deg C without my case on, not bad. Another weird thing i have noticed is that my voltages are always 0.4V higher than they should be by the jumper, so my max voltage WITHOUT the voltage mod is 1.89V, kinda interesting i think.

There's one thing to keep in mind when using any onboard monitor, that's the placement of the probe, which can vary readings quite a bit. The ASUS boards are notorious for high readings, as much as 10C, the SANDRA readings also come off that same probe.

10C too high? thats seems like a lot. what causes this, probe TOO CLOSE to the chip? how can it return data higher than the actual chip is?

I never gave that much thought, but the general thinking out there is that the ASUS boards don't give accurate readings, it has been written that they are as much as 10C higher than actual. Mine have run as high as the low 60's with no problems, but I still reworked the cooling to bring it down to at least the mid 50's according to their probe.

Athlon 800 @ 1000 (133 x 7.5)
VCORE: 1.80
Idle: 44 C
Max Load: 48 C
MB: Asus A7V133a

It can go higher (just over 1100MHz), but I have to raise the VCORE to 1.85 and Idle goes to 47C.

ive never seen an air cooled 800 overclock that high before, what the hell did you do to it? i can only get my 800 to 997.5mhz on an A7V
