This to hot? haha

[[JFF]Grumpy]

The other day I was torture testing my system with Prime95. Since my computer is in my room, I like it as quite as possible, hence why I run the Spark 7 on auto. Well that night I left Prime95 running, but I used speedfan to slow down the cpu fan, from about 4500 RPM to about 3500 RPM (similar to the stock intel fan speed) and went to bed.

Well I woke up the next morning to find this...

HOT HOT HOT!!!

Wow!! So I closed speedfan and the CPU Fan speed went back up to 4500-5000 RPM, and I left it to sit for a bit, still no change. So I pulled the cover on the case, felt the heatsink and it didn't seem that warm. Anyways, I stopped Prime (ran for about 23 Hours) and turned the system off to let it cool.

Since then everything has been fine, I haven't changed anything. So I'm not to sure what happened. Whatever, still works

Think I burned it in good though.

Currently as I type this, CPU is at 32 C, the motherboard is at 32 C and the CPU FAN is at 2800 RPM.

Supposedly the "burn up limit" is 90c so another degree and it might've been toasted !! :-(

WOW
That was a close call eh?

 

[Steven4563]

i thought the p4 was meant to run at a lower speed when he gets to hot ?

 

[Quailane]

There is a question as to how accurate the temperature sensor is.

 

[StinkNBreff]

ohhh its a p4 and not an Athlon ... lol .. Lemme shutup

 

[Steven4563]

LOL just because it runs hot doesnt always mean its a athlon

not to thread bust or anything but im getting 16660 with a 9500 pro in 3dmark01se ur scores seem low

ment for steven

 

[Andy71600]

whoa... hella hot

 

[05virulosity50]

Those temps are impossible with pentium 4. If you go to intels site they say it cant go over 70C or else it starts running 50% duty cycles to cool off. (You could pratically run it with out a heatsink when this happens)

lol, if you ran it without a heatsink in the first place, this would be a cause to activate the thermal throttling

well seeing your p4 is at 3.5ghz

when i overclock my 9700pro i can hit 18k

 

[tom10167]

Holy GOD!! Heat the town up with your computer?

 

[StinkNBreff]

lol

Probably a misnomer on the temp probe software / bios / hardware / something...

I've began noticing that my P4 is always reading 52c and higher under nearly any circumstance... Even at 1.8ghz and 1.1v on an IHS-less P4 D0 and an MCX4000+80mm Y.S. Tech fan it reads 51c; I don't think that's even possible.

Take the thermal readings with a grain of salt

 

[abitavenger]

you could have invited the neighbors over to roast some marshmallows! haha

 

[Sir Golitech]

My temps read between 34-37 degrees, but as soon as I put the case cover back on it jumps up at least 8 degrees.Right now it's reading 22, maybe cause I got the front door open and breeze goes right to the case....OH yeah that and it's snowing like a ******* outside .

 

[Cyberwiz01]

Sir Golitech, it sounds like you need better case ventilation.

 

[Sir Golitech]

That's why I leave the cover off.
No probs.

 

[Cyberwiz01]

or you could do that
Actually, I leave the covers off on my rig a lot of the time too since im always doing something in there anyway. Whatever works I guess.
