First of all, this is a great site. I am a newbie to OC'ing and this site has been a great help. Way to go overclockers.com!!!
I just got a P4 2.6c w/ a Asus p4p800 Deluxe MB. I currently have it OC'ed to 3.1.
My CPU temp temp under idle ranges from 29 - 32 C. When I put it under load the CPU jumps up to 48 - 52 C. Is this normal? I really don't like the huge increase. I hear a lot of people talking about a 5 - 10 degree increase, not a 20.
I am using the stock HSF that came with the processor. I got rid of the thermal pad and applied Arctic Silver 5. I have one 80 mm intake fan & one 80 mm outtake fan. I also cut away the gridding for the intake fan mount to try to increase airflow. The fans are CoolerMaster fans. They have a RPM of 2500 and a CFM of 32.11. I was thinking about getting some better fans that will give me more CFM. Any ideas?
If I take my case side off I see about a 4-degree drop in temperature. Does this mean I need better outtake fans?
How about PCI slot blowers? Are these worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help. I am just a newbie trying to be like the big boys!!!!
