View Full Version : proper cpu temp.
What should the max. effective cpu temp be when overclocked from 700mhz to 980mhz.?
mine is 28 degrees celcius at idle and 45-47 degrees celcius when playing games (full power).
Is that temp. too high?
What CPU, What core voltage, what's the temp inside the case?
Hoot
PIII700E, core voltage 1.6, motherboard temp 27 celcius
Whoops, I have no Intel experience, but I'm sure there are others who do. Good Luck

From what I've read the AMD T-birds can handle at MAX around 90c, but I would NEVER get anywhere near that temp. I am not positive on the Insmell's, err Intel's, but I believe the, again MAX temp, is somewhere around 70c to 80c. These are maximum temperatures and you should not be operating anywhere near these. At your temps your chip is not going to turn into a blob of goo but you should work on getting that temp down before you overclock any further if you can.

Sorry, for some reason I thought we were talking about a P4 not a PIII. Those temps are too high.

Hmmm...A 700E has a default voltage of 1.70v...why is your's running at 1.6? What kind of heatsink do you have on the chip?
