Can anyone give an example of temp differences....

I currently have the Palamino chip, as in my sig. My load temps are 46*c, which I am not thrilled about. I run the fan at 4500rpm on my Volcano 9.... a little too loud for my tastes.

My next purchase will be to trade out my Palamino core for a T'Bred core, but I am wondering what kind of temp differences I will get with the T'Bred....... Is there anyone out there that has had a Palamino, T' Bred A & T' Bred B in the same system that can provide some kind of reference of varying temps?

Also, can someone provide some insight as to why I am having problems pushing up my overclock past what is stated in my sig? When I boot @ fsb set to 160, 159, 158, it will load into Windows, but when I run any kind of app for burn in......the system reboots. Is this a PSU problem, cos if so, I am now wishing I got the 350W Sparkle!

Lastly, I think I may have to Lap my heatsink too for a little extra performance....what kind of temp difference will that make? 1*-2*C?

Thanks for any replies,
Ardent
 
I got about 9C difference in cooling going from a paly to a tbredB....
Lapping the heatsink would be a very good thing to think about as every degree helps....
 
pretty much about the same here, going from Tbird 1400 to TbredB 1700+, both at stock

you can also get a "quiet" hsf like this one http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/product.htm
I run dual 2400's in a black server case (heat holding POS) my proc temp (read on die) is 10 degrees above ambient so board temp of 33*C would give me around 43*C on die. i am using two copper flowers with the included 92 mm fans. Noise is almost nonexhistant.
and 9*C sounds about right between a tbird and a tbred, and about half that between a pally and a tbred

i also got a flower on an AGOIA 1600 (currently @ 1800) with a 6"fan mod in side of case (big slow fans rock!) and that one is running 35*C (all temps posted by me are 100 percent load after at least .5 hour).

Just an idea to thwart the noise issue

You could always consider watercooling. When I switched to WC, I gained 120 MHz and dropped about 10C at the same time. I was previously using an AX-7/delta 68. Now my computer is much cooler, slightly faster, and much quieter.

It's just another option, maybe right for you.
 
I have never really considered H20 before, not sure that I want to onvest the time or the money to be honest, but thanks for the suggestion...

This, from my original post, is what is really bugging me.....any ideas?

Thx, ardent
 
I can tell you a few things.my athalons became unstable at 44c according to the under die sensor,all of them.the t-bird,xp and t-bred all seem to share the same temp threshold on my mobo.The t-bird ran a few c's hotter than the xp and the t-bred ran a few c's cooler than the xp.The main reason was the v-core setting each using a setting slightly lower than the previous.
I have a t-bred 2100 now with an sk7 and 80 mm fan glued onto it.It idles at 37 and runs 39 under full load at 1.69 v-core(this according to under die sensor).
my board reboots whenever it is unstable in windows,it needs either more v-core or less oc to become stable.my 2100 will not exceed 2.0 mhz with any v-core setting,at least with this mobo.
My 8rda+ will be here by tuesday and i will see if the temps differ on that board.I can hardly wait.
 
Well, to update this thread, I finally got round to getting an SK-7 which lowered my idle and load to 36°C and 40°C respectively.

Unforetunately, I am still having the same problems with the overclock, so I can only conclude that it must be the PSU.

For example, anything over 155FSB, 3DMark will either crash or the system will reboot....

Anyone have any further ideas? I cant believe my processor has maxed out, nor do I believe it could be the ram, and seeing as I dont have another stick to test with, I cant rule it out either.......
 
*edit*

Figured it out in the end, it was the ram holding me back......hmmm, time for a new stick me thinks :)
