So i decided to finally overclock this Proc today. Im running it at 3.4Ghz. Im including a CPU-Z screenie. Apperently my CPU temp is at 53 Idle and around 59-60 in a moderate load. Is this right? I mean, i never overclocked anything and i did do some homework ( various people are around the same temp as i am some even at 70C) What im asking actually, is this a good temp? Im using Arctic Silver and a Thermaltake heatsink/fan for the CPU. The case stays at a solid 32C. My specs are on my sig.

what are you using to measure temps? if it's a reliable program than those are pretty good temps for an 805. anyways, you should be able to push that thing a some more especially with a better hsf solution.
 
I have mine at 3.2 ghz right now and it's at around 40C atm. I'm using a Thermaltake HS that looks almost identical to the stock Intel one. Oh and I'm using Everest for the temps.

What are you using for stressing? Orthos and Prime95 push both cores to 100% and should jack the temps up higher than 59-60C from 53... especially with a Netburst chip.
 
I downloaded Orthos and saw the temp climb up to 71C after about 5-7 minutes of abuse. This was with me doing other things on it as well....music,video...What i want to know is what is a dangerous level of heat that i should avoid? I really like it at 3.4Ghz, but i dont want to damage the proc, not because i cant buy another one, but because i dont want to. The E6600 is starting to look good to me, but this one is fine for what i do on a reular basis...which is music and video....very seldom video games. Seeing as summer is comming, i wanna be sure that i dont burn it out, especially because my room tends to get hot. Living in California with the sun beating on your roof...tends to make my room hot.
 
70c is pretty hot, but typical for an overclocked pentium d, especially and 805. i'd try to use a better air cooler than a thermaltake.
 
whats a good amount of time to determine that a PC is stable? Everything works fine for me. Ive been running Orthos AND Prime 95 on the stock rate of 2.66Ghz for about 30 mins now and the highest temp recorded by Motherboard Monitor is 65C. Im gonna raise it back to 3.4 and see how high it gets.

that's really up to you. some people aren't convinced that their setup is stable until they can run orthos for at least 24 hours. personally i am convinced that a setup is stable wheni can i can run orthos for a good 4-6 hours and get no bsod's, random reboots, etc. over the course of several days of normal usage, gaming, folding, work, multitasking, etc.
 
well i was running it at 3.4 for the past few days and no issues at all. But im a numbers type of guy. If the numbers aint right, then i get worried. It can run stable for a long time, but just cause the numbers dont seem right to me, it bugs me.
 
Up the volts.

Mine purrs alone nicely at 3.6, I could get more but 200mhz isn't worth the jump in volts
 
I went and did 8 hours of stressing the CPU with Orthos last night. Woke up this morning and everything was fine! I guess im good to go at 3.00Ghz. Im gonna see where i get with 3.10 then 3.20 etc etc..
