Optimum temperature for P4 Prescott?
My new CPU is an Intel P4 (Prescott) running at 3.0GHz. The CPU temperature
is between 62-70C. Is that OK? It's higher than I'm used to (usually AMD CPUs which run cooler than this). Cheers. Bobby |

70 C is the upper LIMIT for the safe operation of a Prescott CPU. Yours is
running too hot if those are the average temperatures. -- DaveW "Bobby" wrote in message ... My new CPU is an Intel P4 (Prescott) running at 3.0GHz. The CPU temperature is between 62-70C. Is that OK? It's higher than I'm used to (usually AMD CPUs which run cooler than this). Cheers. Bobby |

Yours is running too hot if those are the average temperatures. limit temps are ment of a IHS long term full load; he has /looks like onDie temp reporting, which is approx. at least 10° higher than that of IHS/, but anyway if those temps are correct reported, he needs additional cooling. But maybe his MoBo is not reporting him correct temps ... -- Regards, SPAJKY ® & visit my site @ http://www.spajky.vze.com "Tualatin OC-ed / BX-Slot1 / inaudible setup!" E-mail AntiSpam: remove ## |

Which heatsink/fan? Is the fan actually spinning? I've a P4 2.4c clocked to 3.2GHz and my maximum temp. at full load is around the 55 degs. C mark. Idle, I'm looking at 38-42 (and that's with the fan running at only 60% of maximum). BTW, I'm using a stock Intel P4 cooler, here. |

If so, did it come fitted with a grey thermal pad?. If it did, you can reduce the CPU temperature by 10C just by removing the pad and using a heatsink compound instead.

What motherboard are you using? Try to flash the BIOS for the latest update and see whether its helps (the update help to correct wrong temperature reading). If no, then you need a better after market heatsink plus fan. -- WebWalker |

I bought the Intel Pentium Prescott kit which included the CPU (3GHz),
cooler and fan. The cooler had a solid paste base which sat on the CPU. But it wasn't very big or very thick. When I saw it I thought: "That's not much paste to cool the CPU". And I was right. It wasn't. The CPU runs very hot. I have now replaced my Pentium pack with an Athlon 64 bit pack which runs at 37-44C - that 24C cooler than the Prescott. Prescott heating seems to be a known issue: http://207.44.152.242/index.html Bobby wrote in message ...

The power consumption statistics for different processors are very interesting.
Notice that the Pentium 4 550 (3.4 ghz) consumed around 40% more power idle and around 60% more power under load than the Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm system. http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2.../index.x?pg=10 Bobby wrote: I bought the Intel Pentium Prescott kit which included the CPU (3GHz), cooler and fan.
