Hey, still stuck in 939 land. (maybe this year I'll step up to C2D.) Anywhoo....

I've got a 4000+ running at 3.0ghz, vcore is at 1.41, Idles around 20deg F over room temp. (ie, 91F in a 71F room.) When I got it, the IHS was concave, I had to sand all the print off it to make it flat. :eek:
At 2.8, the vcore stays at 1.375, and temps are okay (112 or so). But at 3.0, vcore 1.41, it maxes at 118F (48C) according to Everest. I'm using Stress Prime 2004 to max it, although I also play a game for a bit or let rthdrbl run, as the heat from the vid card rises right under the cpu cooler, a copper Antec job w/80mm fan from BB.

Am I safe under 50C?? I don't like it that hot, and would prefer a Zalman 9700 CNPS :D, but it's what I ve got now. Should I worry about a 48-50C max temp?
Thanks for any help,
jp
 
I think under 50C is safe. I would say you probably even have some more room, say under 55C or so.
 
thanks kirbyrj.
I just ran sp2004, it ran for 56 minutes then errored- checking now....
 
hmm that's interesting.
my voltage hovers around 1.4-1.42... this is stock voltages.
I got it up to 2.75ghz, and it runs very stable.. primed for 26 hours with smallFFTs, and large FFTs.
I also ran memtest for 16 hours cycling through test #5, then test #7 (because I had errors before on it with overclocking).
i had to raise my voltage of my ram from 2.6 to 2.65, and everything is great and stable.
I'm expecting that my max clock would most likely be 2.8? 2.85.. I'm not sure.. I actually really don't want to try it :rolleyes: maybe in a couple months?
I hear people get 2.9+ on the faithful 4000+... I'm glad there is still another 939 socket overclocker here. this core2duos are giving me headaches. :p
 
I don't really think the 4000+ is all that old. I'm waiting on a XP-M 2200+ that I'm getting back from a friend that I'm going to try and OC as far as I can with a Thermalright SI-97. Now that's old :p.
 
I have the same chip, same clock with same voltage readings. I idle between 29-33 and max load is about 36-39.

Have you thought about removing the IHS?
