I am looking at getting a new system, and I was looking at some reviews at the new LGA775 P4's, and one thing that keeps coming up is the temperature and speed throtling. Has anyone here purchased one and noticed how it's throtling? I don't really want to buy a CPU and have it run at a lesser speed then what it's graded at. In fact, I wanted to mess around with some overclocking, but it sounds like that is now limited to only AMD and oldschool Socket 478 P4's. Does anyone have any rebuttles to this argument or thoughts? I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments, thanks!
 
It will only start throttling when temperatures get into the neighborhood of 60 degrees C or so. So, since you want to oc I can pretty much assume you have the cooling part covered.

So no worries :)
 
Got a 478pin Pressy myself

As long as she doesnt go above 60c itll never throttle

and with decent air cooling mine hits 50c max, keeping in mind the S775 apparently run about 5-10c cooler, you shouldnt have a problem if you cool it well

look in my sig for what i got

btw recently oc'd a p4 530 to 3.6ghz from 3.0ghz so theres overclocking fun to be had there too, I used an 875-T though by DFI.
