Good Prescott temps?

Idling around 40C
Full load seems to be around 48C (tested with F@H)

Haven't applied AS5 yet, still using the crappy stuff that came with my Zalman 7000BAlCu.
 
those temps are acctually very good for the prescott line. I'm not sure how the newer 6xx series run for temps, i know they are better than the 5xx series but those temps look very good to me.
 
Dang.
I have a P4 s478 3.2Ghz with a Zalman 7000b-alcu with AS5
idle around 43
full load around 60

a few degrees less without my side on. am i doing anything wrong? or do prescotts just run too hot?
 
3.0E @ 3.6 stock voltage, idles at 38C, load at 46C. Dont know if its real though, since they say ASUS reports lower than real.

No, I think the fact that I have a high-speed Panaflo behind the CPU pulling air off it, and an Antec Tri-cool over the CPU blowing air on it helps a lot.
 
at stock my 3.2e gets 30C load 26C idle, but im water cooled. now at 1.625v... i get 60C load and ~160 watts of heat and enough power consumption to overload my dual 18 amp rail psu :eek: needless to say since i blew the voltage reg on my max3 im changing archs, water cooling is going to be silly on a dothan :p

Those are the exact same temps as mine. My mobo is an Abit IC-7. For cooling, I'm using a silverstone NT-01 (http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-nt01v2.0.htm), 1 120MM silverstone blowing air out on the back, 1 120mm fan blowing air to the HDD"s, 1 80mm blowing air in from the sides, and 2 x 60mm fans on the heatsink.
I'd love to try and overclock it and still have the temps at the same level, but I'm not even going to hope too much :(
 
ny speeds have been around 45 idle and 55 during games. a little too hot if you ask me but i have all my fans on low except for the cpu fan since my 120mm fans are really loud.

Those are nice. What's your ambient temp?

I plan to buy a Zalman too. Maybe you have a previous readings (with stock heatsink)?
 
DAM MAN THEY SO GOOD............ My precott oc'ed to 4ghz is 47 idle and 63 load but i checked on a test and ic7-max3 reports temps 10-13 degrees higher then others so im really 37idle and 53 load but still hotter then yours!! whatg cooling u got ont here

at 4 ghz and 1.60v i used to get 60C load with my room being 90~100F, about 50C idle i think
im running it stock on my p4c800-e until i get my dothan, the ct-479 is in the mail, and im working on getting a dothan now

you wana know what cooling?

i get 36C idle on gpu 40C load, 28C idle cpu 30C load, with cpu at stock, at 4 ghz the cpu consumes way too much power, overloaded my dual 18 amp psu, guess 1.57~1.62v(it drooped/jumped) was a bit much because the max3's voltage regulator got fried, calculated the cpu out to producing 160 or so watts of heat, the pc as a whole measured from the wall consumed 420 watts

oh yea and thats with my graphics card modded to 1.4v (basically a 6800 ultra)

i have tried making the cooling more efficient, but aparently i have hit the limit for efficiency and the temp is simply the inefficiency of the ihs(i lapped that super smooth/flat, and water blocks to match) ohwell, at least the cooling is both cool and silent :D
 
Is 1.6v vcore safe for prescott chip? Even though it is watercooled?

With my 3.2e clocked to 4ghz (250fsb) full time, I get idle temps of 38 celsius and 45-46c load. These are watercooled temps also. I have vcore set at 1.55volts and I had concerns about having the core voltage set this high. I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much now... lol. I also have an Asus P4P800 deluxe and heard that these boards report lower temps than actual.

voltage doesnt kill prescotts, temperature does ;) BUT i found out hard way that voltage kills voltage regulators :( your prob all set at your voltage tho
 
Ryuii i have the same board as you. At what voltage does it blow the power regulators cause i dont want to go too high?
 
i cant tell you, the previous owner had it on phase and had the voltage super high, its probably his fault they leaked, its just there was no evidence until i stressed it a bit, make sure your reg doesnt get hot thats all, i have a feeling that heat was the end of the mobo, anyhow i had it set at 1.675v in the bios, it drooped to 1.55~1.575, my friend said what killed it was my psu, but if a dedicated 18 amp rail to the mobo isnt enough power(was overloaded for sure), prescott aint for me, and here i stand now with a ct-479 coming in the mail and 730J in my future :)
