sounds like the heatsink is not mounted properly or the fan stopped completely and it's relying on throttling right now. open it up, take a look if the fan's turning and if it is, maybe take out the heatsink, give it a clean, a fresh layer of thermal paste and then remount it. zy when u going to invest in aftermarket cooling? its about time coz northwoods really shouldn't be loading @ preshot tempertuares like in ur case
Muahaha... P4 Northwood 2.4B (I think it's B. That means 533 FSB, right?) Ambient temperature tonight is 28ºC. Idle: 35ºC Load (Prime95 torture): 44ºC Only with an XP-90! Using AS5 and a high-rpm 80mm fan (unknown cfm). Damn I love this thing Wonder if it will drop even more as the AS5 'cures'...
Sorry all but here are my temps Idle: -5 degs C Load -3 degs C Cooled via a 350 watt Peltier with a Maze 4 block on the hot side of the peltier. NB chipset and GPU are water cooled, with the radeons R360 core running around 40 degs C under full 3D load. Inbetween the CPU and the Cold plate, and the Cold plate and the peltier is Arctic Alumina, while inbetween the hotside and the water block is Arctic Silver 5 (AS5 doesnt work as well as alumina under subzero temps). Processor is a P4 2.8GHz 800FSB RevC. Havent done much overclocking yet but plan on it
p4 northwood 2.8 @ 3.24 (stock cooling) temps: idle: 34 C load: 59 C Im 13, parents wont buy me some slightly better fan. And im using that sony vaio case, if i took off my case i get almost 10 degrees cooler.
Same problem over here I have a P4 Prescott 3.0 Ghz not overclocked, i get idle temp at 54C and load temp up to 90C, and im using all stock (hs,fan). I get vent speed at about 3000rpm (controlled by bios too). Ive just looked at the processor and thermal pad, and its weirdly spread over the processor (i can even read some of the stuff thats under the graysh grease) and the borders of the processor are not covered by it. Looking at the heat sink i can see most of the oranged colored copper part which makes contact. Is this highly irregular or is it usually this badly spread? Im thinking of replacing the hs or inserting some thermal grease, but from what ive read so far, its not awfully though to scrap it out (quote: " ") Any ideas? Thanks a lot for helping out every1 Arthur V
bro.. i think that's a driver problem... I too had that problem... After a while of playing any game, the whole thing either freezes or just reboots... I installed the latest driver from ATI and it fixed the problem... I'm using ATI Radeon 9200 128 Mb Cheers, BlueStream.
yours guy still ok, mine is P4 2.8E. Idle temp is 60C , fully loading is 70-75C ><" is it too high? I am using DFI AL motherboard
what is xp-120?? My casing is totally open, casing temp not high , just 35only. but my CPU is average 65C, my CPU Fan is original one. I didn't change any thing
Gee... I went into BIOS to check my P4 temperature and usually it's about 52c. After I took out the casing, it dropped to about 45-47c. I put my hand in there and it felt really hot, like a heater. Gosh. My P3 is a lot more cooler than it although the temp is about the same.
