Do all northwoods run around the same temps at any given voltage?
I ask this, because I've seen quite a few people who opt to not use the stock hs/fan.
I know that p4s run very cool compared to athlon xps, and ive never seen one get anywhere
close to their danger point. so why exactly do people feel they need to blast it with a better
hs/fan? it just doesnt make sense to me, which leads me to believe that theres something
i dont know. a p4 running at 34c isnt going to perform better than one running at 40, is it?
will it last longer? and by longer, i dont mean 8 years 10 months compared to 8 years 9
months. is there a considerable benefit to cooling a p4 more than is apparently needed?
i was under the assumption that a p4 will be zapped to death by overvolting before it would
even come close to dying from heat. am i right?
thanks for any info you can provide.
