Hey folks,
I'm experimenting with some OCing of my new chip and motherboard, and running Asus's Tempster software to monitor temps as I game.
I've got a PIII-750E chip (runs at 100fsb standard) at 124fsb and the Vcore pumped up to 7.50. My motherboard is an Asus P3v4x and my graphics card is a Cardexpert Geforce2 MX with AGP 4x and fastwrites. The processor is slot-1.
Running the card with some emulation gaming software, the temps peaked at 60 degress celsuius. What I'm wondering is...Is this too hot? I'm looking for a good point to set my threshhold, and, at the same time, wondering if I can't do anything to cool it more.
I've replaced Intel's fan with a triple fan and heatsink. I didn't use any thermal compound or anything like that between the chip and heatsink, only what was already there. Is there anything I can do to cool this baby off? This was with one side of the case wide open, by the way.
Should I worry? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Brad
