Hey

I am currently OCing a P4 3.8Ghz LGA775 CPU. Im at 4.5Ghz at the moment (237FSB) and my CPU voltage is at 1.5000V - but my load temps are getting up to 59 degrees. Should i stop now and get better cooling before i push it any further?

thanks, J

NEVER STOP TEH OC!
Well intels have a high heat tolerance someone may correct me but i think their breaking point is around 80-90C? and watercooling and lapping will help lots.

 

[Mr. Mumbles]

No no no, don't go over 65*C. You'll kill it. Also, don't raise that vcore over 1.5.

that shows my knowlage of intel

lol, ya dont listen to the amd guy ya stay under 1.55volts and i would wait untill you get better cooling,and u could lapp the IHS and heasink u gave now and lower the temps about 5-7c and that will let u push a little further, get a TT big typhoon and youll be able to get to about 4.7ish... but keep OC untill u either hit 60c load or it becomes unstable, i wouldnt go over 60c load just to be safe....

EDIT: i see u have a xp-90... lapp that and the ihs and use as5 and ull see some better temps, and unless u get water cooling and stay under 45load dont beak 1.55vcore

Do you really need 1.5? have you tried lowering it down? I would stop until you get those temps under control. I know they are not maxed out, but better to be safe than sorry. I really don't think you need 1.5 though, try lowering it.

I use a typhoon and @4.4ghz full loaded is 42c.

well arent u special! i use a stock hsf and im at 56load at 3.7 ghz...LOL beat that!
oh and it has like a 15cfm fan on it...if that LOL weakness...

I agree. I wonder if you need anything at all like 1.5V. My wife's 630 3.0Ghz @ 4.02GHz is running at 1.35V

my 640 is running at 1.365 in bios 1.264 in cpuz and i'm stable at 4.10 with 45°c temps.(with TTBT)

 

[pbasil1]

so everyone thinks the vcore is high, lower it to around 1.4ish and that will lower the temps some too if it runs stable at that speed,then u can oc further from there....you should only up the vcore AS NEEDED.

 

[jpmad4it]

yeah i have needed to up the vcore, as the system was unstable at the default voltage.

remember - im at 4.5Ghz here - you guys running at 1.3 / 1.4v are only at 4.0 ish Ghz.

 

[Aqualan]

It's not what GHZ you are at, it's percentage oc'd. You are not that far..I'm 3.2-4.10 which is .9ghz. You are 3.8-4.5 which is.7ghz.

 

[Kopi]

You can put your VCore up to 1.75 if you wish. Thats what mines at, OC'ed 1 gig to 3.390. I'm running temps of 35 idle and 45 load with no case fans (I KNOW). Vcore should exceed 1.6 imo.

btw im oc'ed almost 40% on my 2.4B

 

[Aqualan]

Did you go from stock vcore to 1.5 in one shot? You need to test in small increments(SMALL).

 

[pbasil1]

ya but u started at 3.8ghz,they started at 3.2-3.4, isnt your stock voltage like 1.32? did u just jump from stock to 1.5 or did u take it up in small incraments as need while OCing

 

[Aqualan]

beat ya to it...lol

 

[pbasil1]

LOL damn you!

 

[jrabb1920]

You only increase vcore to get stable. anything else is a waste and possiable future problems.

You have a different processor. Your advice if taken would damage his cpu for certain. You have a Northwood and his is a Prescott (570/670/671). It is also a newer iteration Prescott with even lower voltage requirements than the first (E) Prescotts in which your advice still would damage the processor.

This is not a flame however if I were you I would be careful with advice until you either learn a bit more or read a bit better.
