Heat from OCing

the way i c it is as such upping voltage = heat increase idle and load not upping voltage but ocing = same idle but increased load temp

Equivalent athlon speed compared to duron 1.6ghz?

i dont think L2 cache is all that important in athlons anyway. i've disabled level2 on my barton chip and actually barely noticed a difference

Question about cpu's and voltage rails...

depends on the board i guess... if it has the additional 12v 4 pin connector i would bet the 12v rail

Friends Athlon Barton 2500+ reaches 57C on load! Does Biostar M7NCD Pro report high temps?

although the chip might be able to handle 57C, who cares? if it seems abnormal why not investigate it? an SK-7 and 48CFM fan should reduce its load temp to below 50C i would imagine. if u could post ambient temps...

Show us your lowest IDLE temp on air!

heh yeah, i love that nforce2 real-time voltage changing proggy. before i was limited to 1.4v minimum, now its 1.075 :D although i have to load windows (and the program) to drop to that voltage. passively cooled with just the side intake max temp was 38C (could probably be passively cooled...

Help needed in Ancient History... (OCing a PII!)

if your mobo supports a 100mhz fsb, try upping it to that. P2 300/66's were like early celerons - easy to overclock!
