How accurate is the temp on a P4B-533e?

EgeWorks · Aug 20, 2002

I've just got this board and am testing a Northwood2.0a with the standard HSF before I attach WC. Running at 2.4Ghz I'm getting idle 26C and full load at about 37C. This seems pretty low-are the temps on this board reliable?

That does indeed sound pretty low. With a 1.8A (oc'd to 2.36ghz) on the same mobo, I get about 36 idle/50 full load.

I just finished running Prime95 torture test for 10 hours.

ambient temp 22C
max temp 41C
average temp 38C

Sounds like you've got a very cool running cpu. Are you using the standard Intel HSF?

EgeWorks · Aug 22, 2002

Yes, standard HSF with no AS3, just the stock Intel thermal transfer pad as well.

I should get better temps when I hook up the water cooling

26ºC idle and 41ºC full load is pretty alright, since your ambient is 22ºC.

with your ambient, temp seem OK. Good Chip

I must be doing something wrong. I've got my P4-1.8A running at 2340mhz (18*130). My temps are cpu: 50C, mb: 38C after running Prime95 torture test for about 8 hours. Is the temp for the mb the same as ambient temp?

Nope. The Motherboard temperature is either measuring the temperature on your motherboard, your internal case temperature, or the Intel chipset.

And 50ºC? Is that full load?

Xen0n · Aug 23, 2002

yup. that's what i get while running the prime95 torture test. i've been using that to test stability while overclocking. does that sound high?

It's alright.

What's your ambient?

Xen0n · Aug 23, 2002

How exactly do you measure ambient temp?

Er.. Your room temperature.

Xen0n · Aug 24, 2002

duh... i think that i was smoking a bit too much last night.

i should have figured that one out myself.

my ambient/room temp is 23C/74F.

50ºC's still pretty alright.

He he, got my water cooling going. [email protected]

Ambient 20C
Idle 22C
Full Load 32C

Should be able to do 2.8 easy-sweet

Hey, 2.0A should be able to do 3GHz sweet.

yeah, just breaking it in - don't want to fry anything. Plus I have bad RAM(PC2100 just cant cut it at 3:4).

Singapore-TWY? I used to live there. Can't beat Sim Lim tower/square
