P4 Threshold temps.

[MTXR]

So what are the temps to watch out for, for a P4 2.4c

How much heat can these things take?

Currently at 140F CPU, 107F CHipset, and 95F case is what mbm5 is telling me.

edit: THose temps are at 100% load.


P42.4C @ 2.8

i am overclocking my Dell 400SC

it's varies by chip generally it's 60-90C but it depends. grab CPUMSR and set it to P4 and it'll show you if the throttling has been hit or you can disable it if you wish.

things are holding at 140F now to see if i get any errors.

I think i will keep it at 2.8 cause the damn temp sensing fan is spinning up to a noise level i can just barely deal with.

I didn't think Dell computers could be overclocked, but i guess i was wrong.

Some quick mental math tells me thats around 45C which is fine. Your other temps are accordingly lower so I doubt there's a problem.

In the future however I'd suggest using Celsius, as most people do now for these things.

If your fan is too loud, you could try replacing it with a more efficient one, if you're using the stock Dell fan I bet you could find something a little better.

140F = 60C

Maximum Temperature in Celcius for 2.4C = 74C

I should be good i guess..

Well my quick mental math was wrong.

edit: now that i think about it, that did seem low
