P4 3.0 Temps

[Colin]

sparkyc76 I would expect your normal temps to be around 40 degrees idle. The IC7 in teh bios anyway reads temps that are 10 too hgih in general.<BR><BR>Do you know which revision PCB your motherboard is based on?

Well im pretty new at this and im sure that this has been disscussed plenty of times, but I was wondering if any one else had an Abit Ic7-G mobo, it seems to give false temp readings.<BR><BR><BR>OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional<BR>Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600<BR>System Type X86-based PC<BR>Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~3006 Mhz<BR>Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~3006 Mhz<BR>BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 2/24/2004<BR>SMBIOS Version 2.2<BR>Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)"<BR>Total Physical Memory 1,024.00 MB<BR>Available Physical Memory 587.79 MB<BR>Total Virtual Memory 3.40 GB<BR>Available Virtual Memory 2.62 GB<BR>Page File Space 2.40 GB<BR>Adapter Type RADEON 9800 SE AGP (0x4148), ATI Technologies Inc. compatible.<BR><BR>What would normal idle temps and load temps be for a setup like this. and are the readings taken from the motherboard accurate ?

umm im not sure what a p4 system should be running exactly, but it should probably run 40-45C idle? u didnt specify any temps....whats it runing at?

P4s have something called "throddling" to slow themselves down before they REALLY overheat. It's hard to cook those chips. Yeah, 37-42C idle is about right. Ambient temperature differances, case fans, ect.

djiez,, my cpu is 25 , when Idle. think I can clock it ? Whats the max temp it can get up to?<BR><BR>Davoid

my stock temps under load are about 33, generally around here i think alot of us try 2 keep our temps under 50c if possible,
