will this at all severly hurt this chip running on air?
my air cooling (and i know isnt that great) a lapped volcano 7 (not plus) with a 80mm tornado on top
i was hopping to just raise it up to 1.7 volts to stable me out at 170MHz x 13 @ 2210MHz... it would run stable, but i would get BSOD's here and there so i figured that i'd up to to 1.7 volts
well, i did the wire trick (my board is a K7S5A Pro.... yeah i know) and to my surprise its at 1.86 volts
so i figured i'd try it out with prime running and the tornado on low its at 54C... with it on medium it goes to about 47
so i raised it to 175MHz FSB, kept the fan on low at it got as high as 57C, so i turned it to medium and its dropped to 51C
mind you my room is close to 30C, the air conditioning doesnt work that well in this room (i live in AZ)
my question is will this bother the chip at all? (someitme in the future i will get an SK7)... but for now, i dont really wanna have to tear the machine apart to play with the voltages again
my figurings... these temps are not good, but they arent bad either... i will just have to watch them when im doing intesive apps
are my figurings correct?
edit: this is the stepping for my chip... AIUHB 0324MPMW
edit2: im running the "maximum power consumption, maximum heat" torture test on prime 95 and so far the temp hovers between 48-51C on medium
