This is really starting to really bug me. Heres whats going on.
I have an AthlonXP 2600+ (mobile) at stock speeds on water. Its at 98 degrees F idle!!! When overclocked, it hits around 120 degrees F on load!!! Whats going on and how do I fix this? I have a HydorL20, HydorL30, a 1978 Chevy Impala heatercore with 6 80 mm fans at 7 volts and the Asetek waterchill. From the ability of the Heatercore and waterchill to dissipate at least 400 watts (heatercore can probably do more) I’m baffled.

EDIT: now its at 102 idle

Those temps seem fine especially since its summer.

For a 45 watt chip and the fact that i have two rads?

EDIT: the NF7-S is overvolting it and its at 1.57 volts...its at .18 C/W
 
Yup, those temps are just fine. .18 C/W is very good for a real world setup.
 
ok thanks. On prime95, its 116 w/ a c/w of .14 at 2.52 GHz. I was worried because on xoxideforums, someone on air was getting 112 load
 
I saw your thread over at ocforums. Whats your ambient temp and case temp. I get 50C full load and ppl say why do you get such high temps. 2500MHZ 1.9volts and a case temp of 38-40C and room temp around 80-85F and max around 90F sometimes.

CA Summer weather really suxs :p
