Stable temprature for C2D

simon_xazza · 17 Aug 2007 at 12:15

Whats a stable temprature to run my overclocked C2D at? Or should i just ignore the temprature and test till it fails Sp2004?

65c is ok

but why not just post here

yeah, 65c is the max safe temp really, ideally have it below 60c.

I read on ExtremeSystem that they wont clock above 70C, well after 1 day of testing that I can confirm, when I reach 70-73C it reboots, even though I'm now at same overclock at 63C and its fine, my cooler is good but not extreme.

70c or under while stress testing using Orthos is fine ... a lot of things wont stress your cpu as much as Orthos does and so unlikely to reach those temps.

helmutcheese · 17 Aug 2007 at 17:18

Correct, but we need pass Stress Tests in 1st place to consider it as stable.

What is the throttling temp for an e4300?

I've reached 82C in orthos test.

May be wrong but i think 85c :eek:

surely that's dangerous? lol

Not really. With all the safeguards Intel cram into their chips, it would throttle/shut down before any amount of damage could be done. Unless of course your a numpty and you crank some insane volts through it whilst removing the heatsink. Even then it would probs be able to save its own ass

. Great chips. I think quite a lot of people are still in the mindsets from the Athlon XP days where it was childsplay to roast a chip

Whatever did happen to that AMD company?

AMD... who?

Rather toasty, did it pass prime?

An overclockers 'nightmare' - The dreaded fried CPU! :eek:

Yeah it run fine, wouldn't have known anything was up unless I loaded the temp monitoring apps. Turns out my 2x rear 80mm fans were not working so there was no exhaust for the hot air. When I took the PC apart a while after running prime the heatsink, motherboard etc were all scorching hot, thermal runaway at work!

The little rubber anti-vibration strips that fit to the Ultra-120 had half melted though. The machine is still in bits atm but I have since lapped the heatsink and fixed the rear fans so am looking forward to getting it built again.

Good god so you can kill them :eek:

How on EARTH did that happen, Id have thought the CPU would have totally shut down and throttled before any problems :confused:

Big.Wayne · 18 Aug 2007 at 04:41

Lol it's not one of my chips, just a random image to give a few people 'the fear' :eek:

Oh, that coupled with your description of the strips melting on the Thermalright is rather misleading

Just what i thought.

It is possible to kill a C2D is boot up. Generaly once booted and fully running they will throttle before overheating and doing damage. But at bootup putting to many volts in it can kill it in under 10sec i read somewhere. When i saw to many it was probly quite a bit over. But i cant rember. I think it was over 1.6
