So ... (p4 2.0A @ 3.2ghz)

[Mavspire]

Hey Guys,

Another lurker turned poster here somewhat of a newb to the OCing phenomenon

Anyway let me get down to it.

Chip: p4 2.0A Northwood
mobo: Asus p4s8x-x
Cooling: oem fan/hs + one side mounted case fan

At the moment im running it at 3.2ghz (166/33), have been for 2 days now, no problems so far, here's some screenshots from sandra burn in/stress tests (pardon the hi-res)

P4 2.0A @ 2667ghz (133/33)
Vcore: Auto (1.525)
This screen shot shows the stress test completed and graph of the cpu temperature beside it. Vcore was stable throughout, I forgot to get a shot of that however!

P4 2.0A @ 3200ghz (166/33)
Vcode: 1.575 (Mobo overvolts 100mv, so 1.675)
I upped the vcore on this just in case, I hadnt put a load @ 3.2ghz apart from a game or two....

This shows temp graph midway through the test, nice fat jump in temp right away!

SO, am i treading on deep waters here? Or does it look stable?

Im not very fond of the high temps at 3.2ghz under load, but the most load ill ever put on the system is during a game. I ran the burn in for 5 cycles, I'll put it through 10 soon.

Any advice/suggestions/questions?

Thanks!

Wow impressive with a stock HSF. Maybe you can look into some aftermarket heatsinks and shoot for higher

Great overclock. I love seeing overclocks this high.

Prime it overnight and let us know if it passes. Good work.

Dont forget that asus temps are about 8c lower than what they really are, so dont forget you are running nearly 60c under load there... just be careful ;-)

Otherwise that than, nice clock :-D
