p3 700 temps

[sem]

After lurking here for more then a year I finally decided to register so I can post! I am looking for what would be considered a standard temp for a slot 1 p3 700 to aim for. And the upper limit if someone knows that.

Depending on the temp in the house mine is idles at 32c-38c. Under load it is usually 38c-41c. It is not overclocked yet and still at the standard voltage.

I try to stay below 50C, but depending on your colling, going a few above that won't matter -- heat causes instability, so the less heat, the more stable.

Try to find a comfort zone at the lowest possible voltage.

welcome. I run a 600E at 800 and under load it is only 43C with the retail hsf at 1.75volts. It is very stable so I believe if you keep it under 50C you will be fine. do you have mbm5. if not get it!

My slot 1 p3 700@1050Mhz runs at 24-25C idle. I don't know what the temp would be at just the original 700Mhz.

Those temps are the same as mine were before overclocking..
50c is the magical number you want to stay under, right now my P3700@1053@1.85v is bouncing between 45-51c load and hold steady at 39c idle...these temps are usually lower but the air temp is 29c and humid, this factor plays alot with the cpu temp..

what is the system the 700 is in?

I have a PIII 700E with a peltier cooler on it. I made sure the 'cold side' was to the CPU core, and I get temps around 50C idle. It stays at 50C no matter what I do.

I even bought a standard PIII sink & fan, but *still* at 50C. I cannot figure it out, and I am not overclocking right now. Mine is strange ...

I was wondering what the max voltage could be on the 700E?

Max voltage? Probably 2.00 Volts for the cB0 and cC0. But for the old cA2 steppings then the max voltage would be 1.95 Volts, I think.

That's strange... there's something wrong with the temp sensor ir it's not touching the chip, because these numbers are expected to fluctuate, even on the most stable overclocked machines... it's part of the physics involved.

My cCo 700 is O/C'd to 1040 watercooled Prime95 Torture 2hrs. 104F You'll have to do the math. heheheh. I've been a member here for years but this is the first post. Believe me I am a Senior member of 62yrs young

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Personaly i would try and keep my temps under 40C if possible, where your at now is OK but before i even started overclocking i would get a better heat sink fan and i would do some case cooling as well as get some good thermal compound radio shack stuff at the minimum, all CPU's will overclock differently and all will be affected by heat differently so generaly speaking the lower your temps are the better, a goal of mine allthough some may argue is to keep my temps at what they were before i started overclocking and if you push your CPU's limits you may want to cool it even more. if i let my CPU get above 36C it will become unstable, as you push the limits your tempature becomes more important.

Theres more to overclocking then raising FSB and CV keeping it cool is more or less a key point depending on how far you push it. i reccomend reading through the tips section and get as much background info as you possibly can your PC will thank you later.

goodluck
