Intel 805D Temp's

Also if you set the FSB too high with a 805D on a ASrock Duel Vista motherboard can you do damage to the CPU or will the system just shut down and not boot ?
I set the FSB way to high by mistake and I just got a black screen. It seemed the computer was on just not booting.
I re-set the CMOS and all was fine. Did I screw up and hurt the CPU ?
Also whats a good test program to chek the CPU out. Prim95 or somthing else.
 
You did not hurt the cpu, it has thermal protection and the reason you got a black screen is because the board couldnt boot at that fsb. It's not harmful, its a normal action when settings are wrong. I have an 805 that idles at 30c and loads at around 46-47c, this is with an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro not the stock heatsink. It was doing 50-60c with the stock solution, which is fine for this cpu.
 
Thank's for the help wee96,
It just freaked me out a little bit because even with the black screen which I thought was the motherboard protecting the CPU from over heating, it still seemed like the computer was running (power supply was still going) so I thought the CPU might have got hurt before I could hit re-set to get into the BIOS to lower the FSB speed.
In the BIOS the option for a safe BOOT ON OverClock or something like that was selected and Prime95 is running OK so far for two hours so all seems OK.

Just don't go over 60c. I have it at 3.8GHZ constantly and it's great.

OK, Got it, No higher than 60c...Thanks
It look's like I can do an easy 3ghz with no trouble but what I need to know is the name of a good CPU temp program that shows the Temp reading on the windows desk top. Can you give me the name of one to use ?

Thank's again to all of you that posted a reply....

Try Speed fan or use whatever came with your motherboard. SInce i have an asus motherboard, i'm using Asus probe but i also use speed fan to double check.
 
My 805 will hit 70C under a full load with an XP-90 instead of stock cooler (small "HTPC" case as measured with Speedfan). No extra voltage...running it at 3.4Ghz. Idle temp is around 35-40C.

Wow thats insane temperatures with no increase in temperature but that might because it is in a HTPC. Over 60c is dangerous since they die alot faster.

I think it does it's thermal throttling because then the temp will dip back into the 60-61C range and then raise it's way back up. The temps actually used to be a lot better (65C max under load), but then I put a 7600GT in the case too.

The way I look at it is, if it dies, I can always replace it for $75 or so ;).

Would make sense, the airflow in the case is very limited. But those temperatures seem quite high, and suprised you are stable at them too, my 805 hits over 60c when i was at 4.0ghz but it would be too hot for it to be stable.
 
I ran Prime95 for at least 12 hours on the setup (one instance on both cores). So maybe it's just a temp sensor problem.

What are you using for watching the temperatures?

Speedfan...I haven't put coretemp on that computer yet

Hmm maybe it is a sensor problem. Oh well as long as it works and is stable who cares right?

that's what I say :). It's not my main computer anyway. I just use it for DVD encoding and as a spare comp for lan gaming.

I wonder if you can put a small watercooling system inside to pimp your case lol.
 
Actually, I'd probably be better off just getting a better case with better airflow (X-Qpack or something). I'm using it in an old e-machines case I salvaged from a dead comp my buddy had. Only 1 80mm fan in the back of it plus the PSU exhaust. Definitely not the best setup there for airflow.
