My CPU P4 1.8A idles at 50~51C and under Prime 95 reaches 63C. Ambient room temp is 24.5C and case temp (37C idle/45C Prime 95). Temperature readings are from Motherboard Monitor 5.1.07 (similar to what I see in BIOS).
System is OC'd to 2.2Ghz using 122FSB at 1.6V
My system consists of:
*
* Lian-Li PC60 Case
* Abit TH7II-R
* 350W Enermax PSU
* 2xSamsung 256MB RDRAM
* 3 IBM 60GXP 60GB HDDs
* Radeon 8500 Retail
* Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
* WD Firewire Card
I switched from an Athlon to the Northwood because I no longer wanted my PC to sound like my vacuum cleaner! How is everyone else able to get temps 10-20 degrees cooler? I really don't want to add additional case fans. Any advice would be appreciated.
