not worth investing more in our obsolete rig, if not needed... hehe... better save up for new rig!

"2.8GHz Prescott CPU and Intel Hyper-Threading technology support
Leveraging the Intel 845GE chipset to support Intel Hyper-Threading up to 2.8GHz P4 Prescott CPUs on 533MHz FSB, DDR333 memory, the P4GE-MX delivers a full-value, high-performance solution for today's most demanding tasks."

Does that mean my P4GE-MX can only support up to 2.8GHz only??

is there any bios update?? i dont know is 845 support 800fsb or not.

i think it's ok to invest in watercooling as we can use it even after upgrading our rig.those highend WC will rock man~~!!!

FYI, i845 max FSB support is 533 only.

i see, then the max it can support is 3.06GHz 533fsb i think. Prescott A proc max only 2.8GHz. If it can support 800fsb, the choices are more.

watercooling ofcoz rock~, promise that you have enough cash, enough time, enough effort.

hehe...mt bro want to sell the 3GHz proc tu his friend la...so i will try to oc my pc la...on things....now my cpu temperature is about 70C..if oc....will the temperature rise?? what is the max temperature for the cpu to running in stable condition?

70C is too hot IMO. better keep the temp below 60C and never above 65C.

wah...70'c??this while idle or max loaded??better keep it under 60'c....

at first it can reach 84C while i'm surfing a lot....now i just clean the heatsink and the fan....err....usually....after u take off the heatsink and want to attach it back...must apply new thermal paste ka??

my friend, dont tell me you just clean the hfs then just put back without any thermal paste. You are killing you proc! Better hurry get the thermal paste and apply it. Without the thermal paste, cpu heat are hardly transfer to heatsink, and your cpu is having hot hot sauna below HFS.

If you cant find good thermal paste like AS5 etc, at least get non branded thermal paste. Apply very thin layer on cpu.

aiseh....i have to aplly the thermal paste aa...i'll find it and get it done by tomorrow la...rite now the temperature between 50C - 55C..it's quite low than before.. i'm gonna search the article about applying thermal paste....i've seen before sumwhere in this forum...need some kertas pasir to gosok the heatsink and proc rite before applying it....wahh...so dangerous la me...

oi oi bro don't gosok ur processor with kertas pasir.

just wipe it with cloth will do.

no need to lap the hfs and cpu. unless you wanna go for extreme. just clean it with cloth like what shift said. lapping doesnt really boost the cooling performance. It just add the contact surface so that heat can transfer to hfs more efficient. If want to have better temp, better hfs is a must.

hehe..i just wanna ask that question...tq for the information....so..no need to lapping aa ... just clean the older one from the processor and heatsink...and then just apply the new thermal paste.. just like that?? just saw a few cool heatsink and looks so tempting.. hehe...maybe one day i'll change to the real heatsink..... rite now my CPU temp around 51C ...... still ok rite??? *with side panel open...

u just like me when i was 1st time open my proc...just reuse the thermalpaste.then, for the 2nd time, not apply thermalpaste at all. but that before i bought AS5..already 1.5 years and i'm still cant finish my AS5...hahaha...

my thermaltake S478 heatsink fan is dying


sigh, need to hunt for coolers again...
some more S478...

aihz...
Low Yat Plaza still got ar?

if just the fan dying, maybe replace the fan is enough.

Hi guy long time din long in here already. I see number of new users for S478 too. 3.06GHz proc now is on hot man,see all of you discussing about it.

thermalright xp90 got forumer sell at garage sells.good heatsink for s478.there's also quite a lot of s478 cooler out there....s478 still survived untill now man!!!
