700duron so far unlocked multiplier is it too hot!

[scotty2hottie]

i have done the l1 trick but i have only changed the multiplier to 7.5 and havent touched the voltage my cpu temp right now is 48 degrees C is this too hot i need help and advice

that is a quite hot I am running a duron 600@800 at 1.55V and it runs about 11C above the case temp. What HSF are you using?

Although 48 c is not tragic you fail to tell us if this is at Idle or full load ?
But generally speaking 50 c and higher is a area of concern but if your looking for a comparison my Duron idles @ 38 c and under full load never exceeds 51 c even then my system temp do not exceed 27 c.. the temprature of my CPU will drop further as I have a more powerfull fan on order and am yet to lap the heatsink

Lynx and Unseen make good points, what HSF are you using? Is that 48c at idle or load? If thats idle, then you are too hot. Max for 700 Duron is around 90C. Do you have other fans pulling cool air in and sucking hot air out? Does the heatsink have thermal paste between it and the chip? There are many factors involve in the chips temps.

i have the hsf that came in the retail box when i bought the chip i get about 7600rpms with it i have thermal paste, and one case fan but i think its doing nothing i have just moved the case which i have open father from the monitor since the open case was facing it. what is better a lower multiplier and a higher FSB or a higher multiplier and a normal FSB ex. 100mhz and my board has the 133A chipset so can i set it to 133 and will the pci and agp stay close to there default mhz

in a ideal world a high FSB is wanted (7.5x133 is faster than 10x100 even though both give you 1 ghz) The reason you should aim for a high FSB is that it overclocks your complete system, not just the CPU.. how high a FSB you can run depends upon many factors such as the quality of your RAM and components not to mention heat... some hardware does not like being run faster than its supposed to be (I use Crucial memory and can run a 140 mhz FSB comfortably).. Heat is a major problem, and effort should be taken to keep it down.. especially with the 48c temprature you quoted as you still have not informed us if this temprature is taken at load or idle.
( 48c temprature at idle would personally concern me !!! )

i only had aol running now i have the temp at 41 degrees is that ok and i have pc-133 ram so give me an example of a frequncy i should use to get the best oc

You should try lowering your voltage. Start as low as possible, and work your way to where you can run reliably. I currently have a 1.33 running at 1466 with the voltage set at 1.675, and about 8-10C cooler than at default. As far as multiplier and FSB, set the multiplier as high as will go stably, then increase the FSB in increments. This is more a trial and error thing than any guarantee.
