Temperature Range

[Ryck]

Hey quick question---

First of the program that is in use is Motherboard Monitor.
The temps I have are 26c idle to 43c full load for 3 hours is that a normal range for a P4 3.0c. Case temps never go above 34c

Very good temps you have there. Under 60c with full load is fine.

What kind of cooling do you have on your processor?

 

[Ryck]

Well overall cooling is like this :

Intake : 120 MM Front
80 MM Side

Exhaust : Powersupply Fan
120 MM Back

HSF : Speeze all Copper Heatsink and Fan (I do not remember the model number sorry)

I've been playing around with my 3.0c
So far it's at 3.5ghz (233FSB), but load temps are 63 degree's with the stock intel fan/heatsink (copper core)

What's considered "ok" for under load temps?

Thanks!

I get the same reading from my system (see sig) and stock HSF on the CPU. My load is like 46 tho, because I used ASUS q-fan and it slowed the fan down about 900 RPM.

Have one of these coming

That should help me to get the temps down, and the speed control will be good when i don't wanna hear the roar of that thing =)

I'll post temps with it tommorrow after i get it.

---UPDATE---
With that new cooler my system runs 43 - 45 under full load. (compared to 63 with the stock intel cooler)
What a difference that thing made, it's loud at full speed, but not as loud as i had thought it would be, on low ya can't hear it (which is where it's at while i am surfing the web =)

Next step, figure out why the northbridge runs at 60 degree's and fix that.
