mine is 3.0C oc at 3.41GHz. My northwood core is terribly high on 100% load. can be as high as 75C. i came across with alot of HSF review but cannot find exactly how much celcius © can be lowered down on OCed P4

i think it's ur heatsink...overclocked northwood got lower tempt.that's y become famouse amongs overclocker...or maybe ur core???

y u only updaitng his name, but not mine as i already ask u to update earlier than him???

i am using 3.4C (30caps) oc at 3.82ghz

3.82ghz
Idle: 35'C
Full Load: 46'C

3.4ghz
Idle: 29'C
Full Load: 38'C

My processor is a 30caps ver. The temp is higher than normal ver C P4. Seem that my heatsink really great

I am using Scythe Andy Samurai Master with Silverstone FM121. The third best in Scythe Heatsink, after Scythe Infinity and Ninja.

Reapply your TIM and heatsink. Your temp is too high and abnormal.

is it due to not high performance HSF from Coolermaster Xdream III? well it says from the box it can support up to 3.4GHz P4. is it due to HSF design where 90% made from aluminium only the base is full copper.

IMO, there are only 2 possible scenario in your case.

1. Your heatsink is not good enough. (IMO, almost all of Cooler Master heatsink is crappy except Hyper TX and Gemini series)

2. You didnt mount your heatsink properly. Probably lack of TIM or pressure on the processor.


Sorry if I sounds harsh. But you must know that your Xdream III is considered as low end 3rd party heatsink. Your heatsink dont have any heatpipe and used only a normal fan. IMO, its performance probably only better than stock cooler abit. Thus, it is almost impossible for it to cope up with the heat produced from a prescott even you used it at default speed.

You can compare your heatsink with those high end stuff sell by fellow forummer. You will see the difference in its looks and of course the performance.

I dont wish to discuss this any further since I am way off topic here. Any further question, pls discuss it in Cooling and Hard-modding Thread

irangan,last time you said want to let go your 478 system now decide to use back this system?

Haha, he is temp with the x1950pro. Seems maybe can last longer.

Actually I should playing with my new x6700 and 8800gtx rig by now. But before i managed to withdraw the money, I cant get through my customs and that is my Girlfriend. She questioned my spending and we go into a friendly debate. In the end, she won the debate . I dont need such a powerful new rig since I am not in graphic design line and have too little time for games due to heavy workload. So I get myself a new GC to use lo.

*Moral of the story: When you have a GF, not easy to spend money on computer parts even you have those money to spend. So upgrade while you can. haha..

Ya.. a x1950pro will prolong my rig life span for another 1 year at least .hehe..

life's a wonder with girlfriend..
hehehe..

irangan : X1950pro good enough already ler.....

1 year later, u won't be thinking about 8800GTX liao XD

ASRock MTB-P4i65G << this mb`s bios got the setting of the ram voltage ?
anyone using this mb now ? good mb ?

x1950pro is a gem. there is no need for you to upgrade anymore. Maybe the most after this is that you have a P4EE. haha.... spend your time more with your GF

google for it. download the manual if you dont have. Are you using it now? i never come across asrock p4 mobo. maybe you can share your experience about it.

So right now irangan is using his 1950 PRO ? His signature is written incoming status for the display card.
@ irangan, show us some print screen on the 3D marks. I read the reviews online that the x1950 pro did quite well on the 3D mark 06 too.
