Should my cpu be hotter?

[azn712]

i overclocked my cpu to 2.3 and give it 1.75 v should it be hotter then the normal setting?
but my cpu temp is 49 is that normal?

 

[cell_491]

the cpu temperature isnt a "setting" its a painfully evil side effect of overclocking

 

[gottes]

LMAO! You couldn't have said it better cell

 

[azn712]

i kno it isn't a setting
i am saying my temp is kinda low for a stock heatsink
i am asking is it normal

 

[cell_491]

low is a GOOD thing

 

[Badger]

definately not normal. purchase a blow torch and heat that sink up till it's red and then quickly stick it back on.


just kidding you're fine with that temp.

 

[Punx_Clever]

ahh yes, the biting sarcasm.....

Just remember, when you heat that sucker up, you cant use an oven mit or else you'l screw up the thermal conductivity

 

[drewski]

so what was the temp before you overclocked?

 

[BuBBa]

if you are concerned that your temps are low, you can also unplug the fan and wrap your heatsink in tin foil (shiny side in for better results of course)...

mayo makes a kickass thermal paste, make sure to wip in some fresh cracked pepper first.

how come nobody decides to add useful info to this?
49C im guessing is stock heatsink and load temps
im just guessing u have an athlon xp, so those temps are a bit high but nothing too serious

after an oc u should see some temp increase but i think ur setup will be able to handle it

 

[DaMiEn]

temperature sensors are shit. that is all

i don't really trust temps. on my p4, stock load was like 38C, when i OC the crap out of it, i load at 44C. the sink doesn't feel that much warmer, but my system has never crashed as a result of the OC, and the thermal protection has never kicked in so it can't be "that" hot.
