Well, I finally overclocked my P4 2.53 Ghz to 2.85 GHz....
Does anyone know what the max suckers these things will take for heat? I am getting about 43^oC??? I don't thank that is the right temp, seems before I overclocked, I was running at about 49^oC!!!

What is going on???

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

Put it back the way it was. Silent is asking if your fan if making more noise than usual. If it is, that means it's working harder to cool the CPU. That's not a good thing. Put it back the way it was unless you want to buy a new CPU in the near future. I keep stressing that overclocking should only be preformed on liquid cooled systems. Liquid systems move heat around better than air cooled.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

I would'nt worry too much.....

My Celeron runs at idle at approx 54 deg c and it'll hit 60+ under load.

My fan's clogged with dog hair etc when on the rare occasion I clean the thing, it runs at about 49 / 57 deg c......

Straight from the horses mouth as they say, heres Intel's cpu temperature data......

P4 will run perfectly happy at those high end temps. I've been running two p4's for 9 months now for a comparison. I have a P4 2.53 running standard with an Intel fan (max temp about 44degs). I also have a P4 2.8 clocking 3.01 (reaches about 53degs with Intel fan). Both perfectly stable on similar setups. Most P4's will NORMALLY take a huge amount of abuse, but remember, there'll ALLWAYS be a chip that fails when pushed. Allways use your BIOS for temp checks, not other monitoring software.

ummm, errrr, could the lower temputure be because I put another 2 fans on my computer? Because I put the fans on the computer, (one on the front of the case, and one taped on the video card, because I couldn't find any other place to put it) and then I never bothered to check the temputure.... Cry

Cry

.... just overclocked it

I am thinking of putting another fan on the side of the heatsink on the processor, mabe then I can overclock it to +3GHz.....

I will put it back, and see what the temputure is..... Ummm, what else can I do to get and keep the system as cool as possible, without costing a fourtune.... I am in a room that is a normal temp... about 18^oC

Ok, thanks alot... I will post te temputure that I get probably tomorrow!

I run several machines, and i find that keeping a negative pressure in the cases gives best temperature results. I achieve this by having more fans sucking out that blowing in. Generally, suck in at lower front, expell at upper rear.

yeah thats generaly a good idea.. have more exhaust fans than chassis fans.. causes a vacume and sucks the hot air out of the machine...although i have 4 chassis fans a cpu fan and a graphics fan and two heat extraction fans in the pci slots it still performs well..try to position your fans so you have a constant circulation of air and taping one to the top of the case blowing downwards is also a good idea so heat doesnt rise as much.

think it would help if I put a more powerfull fan in the power supply?
I don't have enough room for another case fan Cry

I am gonna keep my processor like this... the temputure is VERY stable... it hasn't gone above 50^oC, I check it by doing a disk defrag, then I immeditly shut down, then I go into the BIOS and check the temputure... is that a good way, and if it isn't could you reccomend a good way?

Edit:what is a "stable" condition? I am reading about that, and I don't really get what that means

Bios is very inaccurate when it comes to temps. Never trust ur bios Roll Eyes

Roll Eyes

Use a temperature probe to get temps, the best way to do it is mod your mobo and by a computer temp monitor, feed the probe under ur processor and put it under the core, i saw a tutorial for this a while back I would have to look for it, if i have a chance i will post it.

Still have a nice PC but I just switched to a hella nice mac

My XP2000+ hangs around 35C from cold boot. Under a heavy load it may reach 45-48C(depending on how long it has been on) 48C is the max. I have an upgrade cooling system in one way but not in another. It runs slightly cooler maybe 2C than a standard AMD retail cooling. However the standard cooling was so loud i got really annoyed and went into town and got a silent cooler and took the standard heatsink and fan off and put the new one on. It now spins at 3000rpm compared to 7000rpm, and it is much bigger. The AMD retail fans are so thin it is scary. The new one is much bigger. It now is silent other than the psu.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

well. my computer hasn't fried yetlol, I took it down to 2.81 GHz, now it is hitting temps no higher then 55 deg C, and I am happy with that, although now I am addicted to overclocking Roll Eyes

I might be getting a CPU heatsink with a water jacket so mabe I can bring it up to 2.9 GHz Grin

I have found out that about 63 deg C is the CPU limit, for my computer has restarted at about 60 deg, so I aint gonna go over 55 deg.

Ok, one question: Is there any limit to overclocking then the temputure?

Thanks alot, I am very happy with all this voiding of warrentys!! Grin

is there any other limit? one thing is, do not raise voltage, at least very much, more power going thru the CPU make the stuff shake which then causes the metal to degrade, and after time destroys your CPU

thats the only other limit

btw, I have a liquid cooling system, its a lot more maintnance than air cooling, just a couple weeks ago i had to change out the fluid and install new tubing. The reason i installed new tubing is cause there was bacteria growing on the tubes. Of course that was only because i forgot to put a couple drops of Anit-Bacteria in. Roll Eyes

Well, in the BIOS setup, I have the voltage on auto. Should I keep it there, or should I set it manualy?

Thanks, I wouldn't wanna blow this CPU, my dad would probably be not too happy Wink

leave it to auto, it will keep it at the stock voltage

When it breaks and you will try to claim on your warrenty they will know you o/ced it because the little fuse type thing inside the chip will be broken and it will tell them that it was o/ced. Too late now though, you already voided your warrenty.

When???? Hmmmm.... I dont think it will burn out, not untill I get a new processor, anyway! Grin

Grin

I have checked EVERYTHING, voltage is good, temputure is good, ffans are Ok, and on top of that, I have soooo many alarms it is ridiculious, IE--- I have my V-core voltage so if it fluctuates more then 3% for 10 seconds, it will shut off my computer, and the temputure alarm is set at 60 deg C and the same thing will happen (if it stays above 60 deg C for 10 seconds, it will shut off my computer) so, I think I am very well protected from overclocking too high Grin

Grin

And, the warrenty, well, yes I do know that I voided the warrenty (I am very good at doing that to anything)

your not good at voiding warranties until you start modding computers, cd-roms, harddrives, mouses, keyboard, graphics cards, routers, :-P

Well! to get to the point: what are the warnings that you are overclocking too high? I hear you get Artifacts, is that the only warning?

Thankyou, but please tell of any other warnings if there is any! Thankyou!
