Hi, I have an Amd 3000+ 64 at a 38% oc.. on 1.450v. - At 2.5ghz
(Stock is 1.8ghz)


Well, jsut ran S&M to see how much the heat has affected my cooling... im at 50 degrees max! - Under load..

This is pretty worrying, imagine if I had the stock heatsink/fan. I also have a YS-TECH fan over the heatpipes.

I was about to do a volt mod on my motherboard in chance of increasing my overclock, the volt mod will make it 1.55v, is it worth it?

What temps will I be looking at? :confused:

Thanks in advance!
 
Aaar ok thanks, its just its gone up by nearly 10 degrees...

So, should I do the volt mod what you guys think? Will it go over 65 degrees on 1.55v
 
my opty is at 1.525v and reached 58c over the weekend!

I'll start to panic when it gets up to 60c :p
 
basically... keep it below 65'C I don't let mine rise above 50-55'C but thats just personal preferance, and Nigh-on impossible when my room temp is 32'C
:(

grrrr.... summer....

still, I would say you'd be looking at a 4-8'C rise with each extra v you put on Vcore.

to combat this you could just jam another fan on the CPU HSF (what HSF have you got?) or you could look at getting a better one like the Freezer64 pro or Scythe Ninja (both awesome coolers)
 
I was going to post something simular this morning.. My 4400+ with the AC freezer was 40 at 100% load (2xFolding@home) but the last few nights it's been about 46.. Does the hot wether really make that much diffence?

I've also noted in ASUS probe an occasional drop in the CPU fan speed for a nano-second. This maybe the software as the temps are consistant as with the voltages.
 
With a 6.9% increase in vcore, you're looking at a ~14% increase in power consumption by the processor. So if your processor was 100W before, your heatsink will now need to dissipate 114W of heat.
