Re: Too HOT? ASUS P4C800E Motherboard

Just Added a Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower to my rig,

With it I can now OC the board to 250FSB
The 3.2E is now running at 4Gz

CPU idle temp is now 37C
Full load temp is now 58C
Load sys temp is reading at 30

System is as stable as a rock.

I'd bet it's throttling itself down. Prescotts throttle at 60c until they go below it, so chances are it's throttling a bit when you get to load. Either way, it's not a bad overclock.

Prescotts start throttling at 72-75C not 60C as most will spend much of their life time at around 60-65C normally anyway.

I stand corrected. I wonder where I got the number 60c...
