e8400, playing with FSB and multi, no volt = higher core temps?

[JohnStevens]

hi guys,

I'm going to get an e8400.

Considering all the problems regarding the core temp sensors and what not, I'm not sure if I want to OC using voltage increments.


Considering that, I'm also getting some Corsair Dominator 2x2gb 1066 ram.

So, I would like to run it a 1:1, making 4.8ghz. (which seems highly unlikely).


Let's say I just play with FSB and multiplier (I heard some people getting 7 x 450, other 8 x 475, etc)
whatever the case, just using that, no voltage increase what so ever.


So my question is: with just fsb and multiplier, will there me an increase in temperature? (since I can't rely on the sensors)

I'm guessing that at higher clock speeds = more heat. But That's why I'm asking.


Thanks!!

Yes, temps scale linearly with frequency, and exponentially with voltage, IIRC.

I just upgraded to a 8400 as well after being with AMD for years! I didn't notice a temp change till I upped the voltage. Tho I am watercooling. BTW, I'm running 1:1 8X500Mhz....
