WTF, p4 temps?

nth1rty · 01-25-2004, 07:03 PM

So...I installed my new 3gHz P4C yesterday, with a Termalright 947-U (using a 32 cfm antec fan and arctic silver 5)

So i installed XP, yada yada, and dowloaded MBM5.

This is where the fun starts. On installation, my motherboard (D865GBF, yes it sucks, but i got the proc and mobo together for $200) wasnt on the list of MBM's motherboards. I just selected D865Perl, which uses a slightly different chipset, and it seemed to work, reading an idle temp of around 34-35 C.

So I left the folding client on (for the proCooling team o'course) and after a few hours...the high temp alarm went off. My CPU had apparently heated to...51 Degrees C? And my case temp was close to 32. WTF?

Now does this sound right to you guys? The air coming out of the blowhole fan isn't as hot as I would expect (ie not as hot as my AMD board that ran at 26-27 degrees C case temp)

Any input is apreciated!

i have an asus p4pe with 2.8ghz p4, stock cooling hits 55 easily depending on air temps.. I just set mbm to shut down F@H when temp hits 53 or so and re-start it at 46

You could take the case panel off and see how your cpu temp drops. It could be that your cpu fan is either fighting with other case fans near it stopping the fan from pushing air into the heatsink or you need to work on case airflow a bit more. You could try a 50~cfm 92mm fan, they are not exactly loud yet perform pretty good. Is your northbridge passively cooled? If thats the case it could be heating up your cpu.

I'm probably the only guy in here whos CPU temps go up when I take off a side panel
