"TomG" wrote in message news:tFhfb.6853$N94.4477@lakeread02... excellent point on the core voltage... I am at 244 on stock core voltage. Why thank you, kind sir. I think most people tend to try and force balky cpus over the hump with higher voltages, but forget that it might be possible to lower the voltage once the system is stable at that speed. As for the bottom part of the post about those funky GAT settings, that Mushkin article was one of the main reasons I decided to plunk down the extra $25 for an IC7 over an IS7. I'm glad I did. A lot of people have trouble getting PAT enabled in overclocked systems, and those running at anything other than 1:1 usally have to settle for "partial" PAT or none at all. It's not a huge performance difference, but $25 isn't a lot of money, either. |

Yes it is mounted properly. Initially I used the thremal pad on the stock heatsink, later I replaced that with artic silver II. Both time I verified that the heatsink was properly mounted. I'm running a 2.8c and even with an overclock of 244 FSB my temps have never gone over 61 in the warmest of conditions and full gaming load. And that's why I am wondering why my system is so warm.

well, some P4's run warmer than others and some mobo's sense on the warm
side as well... if you happen to have both working against you, then you could be seeing temps on the warm side but the hard part of that is that you don't know for sure that this is what is happening. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 117,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "Steve" Somewhere@overtherainbow wrote in message ...

Here is my setup: There is a big discussion about temps on the Abit forums. Abit claims that they are using an internal diode in the CPU that reads the temps of the CPU die itself and because of this the temps are higher than on boards that use different sensors. I don't know if I belive this or not, but there are LOTS of people with the Abit IS7 that are seeing the same high temps. Temps in the 70's under load are common. From my reading of the forums the temps are high but the systems appear to be stable so it may be a non-problem afterall. If you want to learn more check out the forums at the abit website. Atleast you know you are not alone. |
