prescott temps?

[PsychoZX]

I just got a new 3.4e ES prescott with D0 stepping. ABIT EQ reports my idle temp at about 48c and 56.5c under 100% load. I have a sp94 with a vantec tornado. I was just wondering about these temps. They seem a little high.

Your Prescott has to dissipate a massive 103 Watt, so load temperatures of around 60C are not uncommon, especially with the stock HSF.

Keep in mind that the real core temperature may be lower than what is being reported, though.

The Prescott is to Intel as the original Thunderbird K7 was to AMD. Hot and difficult to properly cool.

remember, teh IC7-G has about a 10 degree overshoot on temps...so whatever abit says your CPU temp is, subtract 10-12 degrees for the real temp.

mine is about 64 at load...thats with the OC in my sig.

ps what is D0 steping?

Prescott:
C0 - Earliest core revision, standard Prescott stepping.
D0 - 2nd core revision, supposedly cooler, it also overclocks slightly higher.
E0 - Soon to be 3rd revision, overclocks even higher, reported to be 64bit enabled, and supposedly runs much cooler.

Northwood:
B1
C1
D1 - Current stepping.
