O`Clocking, Are My Temps Ok?

chovi · 7 Mar 2006 at 11:20

Hi all, a few answers would be helpful.
AMD 4600x2 @2.6 from 2.4........217 fsb, 4xht, mem @173 (346) 2.3.2.5 1t (Corsair Twin3200c2pt). Mem won`t clock hence the speed and tighter timings.

Prime95 running on each core overnight........idle 34.......top temps hit 51 degs, no errors or problems. Using AS5, Si-120, Alaska 120 Fan, Kandalf Case.

Are these temps ok? to hot? about right for setup?

Would like to hit 2.7 but maybe wishful thinking!

Thanks In Advance

Yes temps look fine. However if you want you could yet a higher CFM fan.

My rig in the spec runs 34 idle and 47 both cores loaded. Thats with good case cooling m/b temp 32.

Why not run at 11x236Mhz, that way the memory will run at 197Mhz and the CPU will still be at 2.6Ghz :confused:

it was a toss up with doing what you said and having tighter timings, i chose the latter of course. Also, whats the max temps without any possible damage to the cpu ?

Thanks Again

Don't worry about damaging the CPU because of a too high temp, the can take up to 85C and will lockup long before that.

Any temp under 60C load is acceptable, although close to 40C is better.

Curious, as i`d like to hit 2.7, but dont wanna try really! then again what im going to be using my comp for 24/7 aint gonna be at 100 on both cores like prime of course.

Thanks Dutch.
