hahahaa, not talking about AMD ler, I just wanna jump ship to AMD XD

My old P4 rig give my little brother, since can't really clock high base on the setup already, so just let it be

My 4GHz target is from my soon to get AMD XD

haha, a lot of us jumping ship d
i managed to solve my problem by downgrading the bios. now everything seems fine.
looks lke the new bios didn't like my processor

Damn, after seeing the Intel i9 3.07Ghz ES proc overclock
Its crazy, air cool at 4.8Ghz ~_~

for the budget, AMD

for the win, Intel

haha

wat casing good for p4? using socket 478 mobo. atx sized mobo i suppose.

any casing which provides decent airflow will do
P4 doesn't make much heat as other newer generation processors, unless you put in high end AGP card or OC it kao kao

lol actually u wrong

our P4 generates more heat and consumes more power

it uses a bigger die on the CPU

nowadays those i5 i7 uses a smaller die, which uses less power and creates less heat

our default S478 proc generates about 60C idle, while later intel models just generates 40C idle (this varies on the cooling ure using ) mine sucks.. but generally thats

casing is important, to a certain degree..

wat casing u guys recommend? My budget rm100, dowan super expensive casing like those lian li and silverstone, i need practical casing with just simple and nice design.

i cute

lol i cute no no, i decided for cooler master elite liao.

@Jcsy,Northwood based core can idle at 32-33 degree C with stock cooling. Prescoot idle would be 45-48 degree C on stock cooling. Your P4 idle at 60 degree C ?

actually my point was more of the heat generated in latest CPU are actually lower and uses less power than previously old CPU

old CPU are the really old ones

the more CPU advances it uses less heat and power hence dual and quad and tricore

60 degrees at stock?
WTF?

Hmmp... my electricity bill still remains the same.

yeah stock, 60C

my cooling is messed but i dont care

its a prescott though

60 degree C at stock is too high man. Maybe you need to clean out the mess inside your casing.

there is no mess in the casing

pure clean and heat sink is clean

its my thermal paste actually... its 0 , haha

You do not use thermal paste over there?

yup.. currently minimal or rather, not properly spreaded perhaps

thermal paste also some ciplak 1 and stock cooling

the stock cooling also kind of looks dodgy

dint use thermal paste.
No wonder it is 60.
Hmmp... such big difference with and without those white stuff...

Sometimes, you think something is useless but it is really helpful.

yup just checked, its at 60C
