In reference to Intel P4 Thermal Management .
Intel states the highest reccomended case temperature to be 68C additionaly the heatsink fan inlet temperature should not exceed 40C.
Intel provides no temperature specifications for either the PIII or P4 processors other than these.
That is due to the thermal management built into the processor.
If the temperature gets to intense the P4 will throttle back in an attempt to cool itself, if that fails it will just shut down.
The result is that no damage will occur to the CPU. You just need to monitor your system to ensure that your processor is running at full speed at the temps you talked about. (although that shouldn't be a problem, as I've seen instances of P4's running quite a bit in excess of 51C with no problem whatsoever.)
In essence, when your temp is too high - you will know, but fortunately you won't have to worry about processor damage. (truly the only area in which the Intel has the clear advantage)
As for voltage, I have seen instances where others did the same - but I'm really not sure how I feel about it. (not much help there am I?)The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.

It has been my belief that the technology that went into the temperature throttling of the P4 was designed specifically to optimize the life of the CPU. It makes it quite difficult to inflict heat related damage during actual use of the processor.
As far as those Idle temps go, why is there a 4 degree increase at all? Is the core voltage contributing to that?
I mean, idle is idle, as in not much taking place. What are your temps at 100% CPU load? That would be the real telling of the tale.
Virtual memory prices have gone up slightly in the last few weeks -- but then, what hasn't:laugh:The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.

You did all the work cHeEsY327 we were just here for the stimulating conversation you provided for us:thumb:
Sounds like your doing just fine. Big 'attaboy to you dude:DThe reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.

also ppl, keep in mind that diferent mobos and bioses all have irregularities on reporting temps....use these temps as a rough guidline...for example with my swiftech mcx462 my cpu loads at about mid 40's....my frends has an epox borad and when he has a mcx 462 he was getting sub-40 load temps....:afro:
