well i originally had my 2.6C stable at only 3.0-3.1Ghz (242FSB) at what seemed 1.6V, with thermaltake smartfan 2 + SLK947U.

well, i just reapplied my artic silver according to articsilver.com's directions by placing just a dab in the center of the heatspeader. i also put a 90mm fan on the heatsink instead of the smartfan. i also applied AS5 to the northbridge.

let me tell ya, it FUC*IN worked! im at 3.25, 250FSB, 400DDR and its "stable" (1.6-1.65V at 42-45idle).

Um, 1.6V? 6.0V would kill your processor in milliseconds.

fixed. i think 1.65V (1.65V bios setting, real voltage is around 1.6V) is a little more stable for anyone who wants to know.
 
Yup, using AS3 on my p4-2.6c(@3.2ghz). Using 2700 ram, so it's holding me back. Temps are currently ~30c idle and ~39c load. I stay around 33c when I have a few apps going in the background(winamp, Norton, mIRC, and a few others).

what are you doing for cooling?
 
Stock HSF. I lapped it with 2500 grit sandpaper with some soapy water until it was extremely shiny. I did the technique where you do a quarter turn every once and awhile. Took awhile, but it's doing pretty good.

I just installed it so I'll probably see a little decrease in temps as the AS3 sets up.


30c-34c idle/few programs, 35-40c load/gaming. Ambient(MB) is 26c.
 
I have mine running at 3.25 stable and all i had to do was up my voltage to 1.75volts (+.2 Volts) and it works just fine. But then again i am using the shit thermal paste that came with my SP-94 heatsink and that stuff sucks.
 
Defenseman, I also have an IC7-MAX3 and you should note that your actual temp. is a little bit less than that. The MAX3 reports temperatures higher for some reason.

But do they last?


Also, your meter looks pretty messed. 10020FSB? ya, you wish :p

And, whats with the blockout of the RPM? IP I understand, but what're you hiding :p
 
defenseman, my cpu is the same. My motherboard is an Asus P4P800 and I'm waiting for the Thermalright SLk-947U.
I also had my cpu at 3.1ghz with the original HS and 27ºC idle and 39ºC load.
I'm impatiently waiting for the HS to see what's my cpu limit :)

We'll see :D
 
he's blocked out the RPM coz he's running some crazy ass fan at like 10000RPM to achieve those temps at that OC:p

just kidding...nice work...
 
I've got my 2.6 @ 3.25 ...right now temps are....cpu...23C, case 30C.

This is on a Zalman CNPS 7000 CU.


I was lucky enough to only have to up my voltage to 1.55 to make it stable.

I CALL BULLSHIT
Ok, you might be able to get that temp if you had some pimp shit water cooling. But you don't. So i must wonder how you can get a 2.6 @ 3.25 to run a 23 degrees celsius (73.4 degrees Fahrenheit) basically room temp. I think not. I have my 2.6 running at 3.25 with a better heatsink and a 92mm tornado at max. When my room gets to be 30 degrees fahrenheit in the middle of the night in winter with the window open and about 6 big fans on high my idle temp is about 32 celsius. So basically,

I will believe that shit when i see it.
 
LOL,

I'm going by ASUS PC Probe, mobo is p4p800 deluxe.
I don't really care enough to download every program known to man to check my temps. It's a temperature for gods sake.

It's the same in the BIOS, PC PROBE, and with Sandra. Assuming this is b/c they all use the same temp diode.


Yes I know asus boards have been known to misreport temperatures.

Do you require a screenshot of probe/sandra/whatever running??
 
All i am saying is that your temps are not that low. that is a fact. they may say 23 degrees celsius, but they are wrong.
I can say i have a 37inch penis, but i would be wrong.

Oh and by the way, sorry if i sound like an ass hole.
 
and one more thing.


you're in california (according to your info).

i'm in upstate new york.

california = not 30 degrees outside.

unless your A/C is blaring, your place is probably a good deal warmer than mine...30C at night? I'm guessing our apartment goes down to 65 at night, possibly lower, more like 60.
 
Well, you would be wrong. At about 3am, in the middle of winter, with my window open, and 6 big fans going, on high, it does got to 30 fahrenheit if not lower. If don't believe me then drag your ass out to CA and see for yourself.
 
ok ok, enough interweb arguing. we all know that who wins, doesnt matter. i did misread your post, i thought you said your room was at 30 CELCIUS at night. So, that's my bad. so your proc. is running at 30C or F when it's 30 in the room? if that's the case, well, I'd think you've got a problem.....


and just joking around man, but why would you let your room get that cold????? damn!
 
I said it 100 times before, I'll say it again.

Asus boards read temps LOWER than they actually are.
Abit boards read temps HIGHER than they actually are.

I prefer Asus boards over Abit, but I can't wait till they develop some next gen voltage management for their motherboards. I'm sick and tired of the over/undervolting and under reading of temps. If I set 1.575 in BIOS, I want 1.575 (or at least close) at IDLE and 1.525/1.5V at load. Not 1.675 at idle and 1.47 at load. :rolleyes:

But back on topic. I got my 2.6C at 3.25 from day one, and it's been running that way for the last 10 months.:) See sig.

Um, so basically you're freezing your ass off to make your case temps lower?

Dumb.

30F = ~0c

Unless your sensor is on a piece of unheated, grounded metal on your chassis, your actual case temp is nowhere near 30F.

The lowest temp on my 2.6c not overclocked was 26, and that was in the middle of the night at 68 degree's room temp.

I was freezing my ass off so i could see how cold my cpu got. My room got down to about 30 degrees FAHRENEIT. my IDLE CPU temp got down to about 32 degrees CELSIUS.

My sensors are not pooched

im not toally sure how mobos work...but i know theres a ton of capacitors. capacitors have +/- variance as well as resistors and other electronic stuff. cheaper components usually have more variance.

so to think they are going to fix voltages down to .1V, they would have to manually test each high quality component. time = money, quality = money. so unless your willing to pay a lot for a custom mobo (if there is such a thing), i dont think its going to happen. :eek:
 
got my 2.6 up to 3.25 no voltage increases. On a P4P800 motherboard, have a SLK-947U and a 92mm fan for cooling. I idle at about 32 to 35 and full load like 44 to 50 depending on how loud i want the fans.
