I have a P-3 600e on an Asus P3B-F motherboard and using Asus Probe(v2.03) I've noticed that my temps are abnormally high. At the normal 100 mhz bus my temp idles at about 40.C. If I overclock to 660 mhz I idle around 49-51.C!! If i over clock to only 720 mhz, I idle at 70+ C!!
This is with a Thermaltake Golden-Orb and an additional chassis fan at the front of the case (blowing air in of coarse) as well as fan over the CPU (I cut out a hole in the side of my case and put a fan blowing air out there.)
My room is usually chilly, I have an A/C unit it here.
What do you guys think, do some processors just run abnormally hot?? Any cooling suggestions? (on limited budget) I know that lots of people have O/C this proc to 800 and sit around 40.C!
What gives??
