Anyone burned a Northy?...

[maxleo]

Just wanna ask, cause somewhere i read about this internal overheat blocking. The last weeks experiences with the Northy shoud tell actually if this works or any Northys crached; so - did there?..

 

[Ankerson]

Don't think so, with the built in thermal protection I would think it would be next to impossable to cook one.

 

[maxleo]

Nevertheless i wanna ask..

b.th.w: was this integrated protection introduced with the northys or was it already integrated in the williams?

Any informations about the temperatures of this protection coming in action? (can't be individual, or??.. Diferences to williams?..

I'm impressed; so many high overclocked northys here around and not one burned - really cool!

 

[Ankerson]

The protection was already there with the Willies so don't worry too much. The CPU will throddle down at 70C so it wont burn.

how does this board work with the 533 bios on it?

don't ask, funny thing, someone here posted this that another guy 'just' tried this; and some actually can set memory this way to 200Hz, because this bios offers a 4:6 ratio. Probably board are not so different, but very funny, and noone has problems with it

I was looking at your sig. What is your "Internal Heat Sink"? Im assuming you are referring to the IHS, which is the Integrated Heat Spreader. That is the metal plate that is on top of the core. Thats what u see when u look at the northwood. There is also the Intel Stock Heatsink, which is either a block type with fins, or the AVC Sunflower, which is round.

Thanks for notice; i hope 'Boxed' is more clear now. (the expression used in the stores)

 

[Murgen]

Couldn't you burn the chip by pumping too much voltage into it?

 

[DDR-PIII]

Or if you took the HSF/FAN off would it burn ?

Look at the toms hardware video about cpu heat.
the p4 would just throttle down to about 200mhz or so to keep the heat down, lol. but replace the hsf and it goes back to normal speed.

 

[AntmanMike]

Yah Now you can change the HSF while its still on! W00t!

i do think i heard of someone killing a northy by pumping 2V through it but i dont think it was on this site...

 

[swidey]

i know one way to fry a northy, just don't use the ZIF arm. a buddy of mine dropped it in, threw the hsf on top and cranked it on. fried 2 pins. and the motherboard

...ok, guess with 30% increase of voltage, some other electrical stuff in my flat also would not like very much too...

...another question: I overclocked well to 133Hz. But already trying little more 137Hz, it would just not boot any more. Is this now this internal overheat-protection? Or is it a 'bad' Northwood-chip? What actually does mean 'a bad chip', some in this forum not even can reach 133FSB, and they then are told they have a 'bad' chip. Do they reach this 70 Degrees faster than others? During booting?

questions questions....

maxleo - When it won't "boot", I assume you mean POST, then you have reached the max at that particular voltage. It's definately not the thermal protection kicking in.

Thank you, i see!

Unfortunately i cannot go higher, cause the onboard VCore jumper only allowes +0.2V or nothing. (Bios i can't use as something on this board seems to need more power before bios comes in action)

Anyway, the origin question is still 'negative' (the 2.0V burnet not counts, or does it?

ROFLMAO

As far as my personal NW experience:

If you have Oc'd too far for the core or a certain voltage, their will be no POST.

If you are marginal for your stability, you might POST but not get into Windows.

I HAVE HAD my computer reboot due to heat: running a stress benchmark with the stock fan I got some random reboots, I went into the BIOS and the chip was falling in temp from over 50 C. So it looks like the key to the NW is keeping it under 50 C or so...

It is like all OCing: if it is heat, it will only show up upon loading programs or running strees tests. If the core itself can't handle the speed, it wont POST or will cause errors in programs.

 

[maxleo]

..see, would mean even strong water-cooling helps nothing, when the chip not likes the vcore and/or speed combination, and stops or creates errors. Which happens in most cases already before the heat protection can come to action.
