im figuring that aside from fugger, who has done some nice benchmarking, not many people own pentium 4's... including i might add, many of the very pro intel people.

generally though p4 temps are lower, proly cauz of the heatspreader + monster stock heatsink.


Overclocked athlon 1200C @ 8.5 x 166FSB + PC2700 = GOOD! :smile:
 
Heh

Hmm, as you can see I am no expert, I have yet to venture into the BIOS on my PC! But I'm doing this to protect my PC!
I have WinXP and as for ACPI, I'll assume it is enabled since when shutting down it shuts off by itself too in WinXP.
WinXP has grayed out my StandBy button though I dunno why...
Anyways, I think 55º warning and 60º shut off should do well. After all I heard some Tbirds ran at 70º and survived!

The other day I heard an explosion from the other side of town.... It was a 486 booting up...
 
Some heatsink reviews with the P4 showed the temp ranging from 39-50 C. another guy reported 52C under a heavy load.
Still havnt found any first hand accounts.

Benchmarks are like sex, everybody loves doing it, everybody thinks they are good at it.
 
there are no heat controls on any AMD cpu, the XP's have a faux thermal protections scheme which does not work, you will need at least 5+ case fans to keep your machine cool

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"
 
"And then there was the customer I had yesterday who cooked his T-bird cause he put the $40 HSF on backwards........"

that's a nasty price for a little mistake dontcha think? there's enough to worry about setting up a system like: esd, sweat dripping, bent pins,..etc btw, how did the RMA go? did the person get the money back or a replacement?

Have you ever had any AMD system? Stop spreading FUD! Both of mine only have 2 (1 intake and 1 exhaust), and they're also 2 overclock Thunderbird 1G@1400MHz (Asus A7V133) and 1G@1333MHz (Abit KG7-RAID).

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

There is a thermal diode and a thermal protection scheme for AMDs in place, however it is still in the process of being implemented in many MBs, and only available on XP/MP cores at the moment.

As for the fans, it realy does depend on your case, PSU, and other heat generating components as much as it does on the heat sink.

OEM chips that were still under waranty. They go down pretty good with a little salsa.

Working on computers is what you do when you get tired of glowing in the dark.
 
Hey LHG you didn't answer me about the ACPI thing. I may be too much worrying over nothing and that any new mobo like mine with a new Antec P303X is able to auto-shutoff and supports it in WinXP too.

argh. well dont blame me.
hotmail was not workin for me all day, so i culdnt see what replies i had to reply to...

i personally think your being extreemly paranoid. did u test it with 50C shutoff temp?
just disconnecting the cpu fan for 20 seconds should do the job.

Lordmatisaro@aol.com speaks now for everybody ? lol

NO, I said check out the list in the other forum you dolt, people, other than me, seem to think you are trying to start flame wars.

LoL, and you bring up my email address without knowing anything about it, I assume you think because theres a lord in it, im some egotistical jerk.


LOL< assume what you want, I could care less. Why dont you check the list thread before accusing people of speaking for everyone.

you have to read other people threads & posts before to flame me.

hmm, its not quiet sure, isnt it ?

the "Lord" is a very simple fact.

why don't you speak simply for yourself & not everyone ?

i think the "Lord" is for something, isnt it ? lol




if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.
 
Ah I see.
No I won't take the risk but in fact for the first time in my life yet (I had to try this for once, I mean!)I ventured into the BIOS, went and set the warning temp at 53º and Auto Shut off at 60º. It was the minimum anyway! I've also checked in Power Management, ACPI was Enabled. WinXP is most likely supporting it since it shut off when shutting down. (so as Win95 anyway)
I guess now it is waiting for the unwanted...which may or may never occur!

my xp 1700+ without any OC.. idles around 41C with Lian Li PC65 and Swiftech mx462..

my case has two intakes in front, and one exhaust on the back..

Swiftech MX462 on CPU and Enermax PW ... which also has one intake and one exhaust....

is there any way to make my CPU cooler?? i bought this case and Heatsink for OC purpose.. but temp is already sky rocking..

i'm not sure how high it will go up when it loads up..

i also used those round cables...

can this be my heatsink?? i also put silver arctic III

need some feedback...
 
First of all, your temps are low, rather nice.


Second, your heatsink rocks, there are none better(or maybe 1 or 2).

then what is normal temp?? with normal case and heat sink..

i saw someone wrote their temp is around 30 C (with OC)...

how did they do it?? ( it's not water cooling).
 
A normal temp is 50C, a standard hsf with 1 case will keep you between 50-55c, and thats perfect.

As you can see, you have plenty of room to go, and a 30c temp, while overclocking and NOT using water, means that his temp probe is wrong, or he is lying.

Either he lied or his temp monitor gave incorrect reading.
Have you tried overclock yours yet? My TB 1000C had about 44C (idle) and when overclocked to 1400MHz has ~47C.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
 
yeah i just did overclock...

from 1700+ to now.. 1900+ 150 fsb * 11

my current CPU temp is ..44 c..

=) it's nice to hear that my temp is normal... =)

how far can i raise my CPU voltage and VDIMM voltage??

currently 1.850v CPU 2.80V VDIMM.. should i consider changing other factors when OC??

i changed my mem to cas 2 turbo.

but i can't seem to go over 150 fsb.. without rebooting problem
