Overheating problems

hey guys....... a little out-of -trend but i have a fascination of overclocking old hardware and use the last bits of power it can render.....

i wanted to know how many of u have overclocked prescotts
i simply cant do more than 500 mhz on my Celeron D 2.26 ghz with 512 Mb DDR 333

the max i can reach is 2.7 and temperatures go all the way to 70 on load.....
man its simply fryin.... are prescotts notably more hotter???

also i tried to overclock my ddr 333 to 400 mhz.... but then i thought it wouldnt be safe so i increased the CAS latency ti 3.0/5
now its quite stable

my graphix card is also overclocked. Its Geforce 5200 running at 350 mhz and its DDR RAM at 1050 MHZ.... man thats high isnt it..??

but couldnt get a tool to measure the temperatue.... NV temperature logger simply doesnt work....

In the end it comes out to this...

Celeron D @ 2.66 GhZ, Stable...... But too low overclocking, Only 400 Mhz
512 Mb DDR 333 runnind @ 400Mhz
Geforce FX 5200 running @ 350 Mhz core and 1050 Mhz MEM

ECS P4m800m, my mobo sucks, no option to set vcore and vmem , though it automatically increases lil bit on increasing FSB....lol

I use Intel Stock Cooler
I wanna go for a better Thermal paste.. satchet should be anough for at least 5 installations...
I dont have an AC room for my PC...

Thats my STory..... any suggestions?.... apart from actual hardware upgrades though... (m going for a newer system coming vacations)

hi all
I'm wanting to make a blowhole at the top of my cabinet , i have a zebby lava .My plan is to make one large enough to fit a 120mm coolermaster in it .
If somebody else here has made a blowhole , could u guide me abouthow to go about it ? I mean , what all instruments are required , wether I need to dismantle the cabinet or i can work on it while its intact .

Also what kind of grill or wire mesh should I be looking at to help keep the dust out from my future blowhole ..lol

Well there are ways to do that but if u are expert enough then and olny you should do this!

First of all u need to mark holes and the grill u want to mount on the top. Then u need a metal cutter or plasma cutter(if u have one) to make a slot. Then u need to grind the extra edges from the rest and u can also add acralic sheet to it and neon or simple LEDs.

Well its actually ur art that how much things u can add.
Acralic is a hot stuff now days so u will get that easily and u can also use colored sheet to give the color u want.
Have fun and be safe!
Good Luck!

Shucks .. my pop has forbade from drilling any holes into my cabinet .:mad:

I actually want to make an exhaust coz I'm not able to get the exact readings for my CPU . I have a AMD 4400+ with an ASUS M2A-VM and with the supplied Asus Software ( which is PC Probe 2 ) i get a reading of
CPU idle - 28 to 32 C
CPU on NFS MW ( dunno if its right to call that load ) - abt 42 C
Motherboard always seems to be around 36 C


but if I check on the BIOS readings both CPU and MOBO
seem to be around 35 -36C

I'v also tried other software like Everest , Speedfan and the readings are identical to the Asus motherboard software readings .


So is my BIOS showing exaggerated readings or is Asus fooling me ?

No, most probably, Cool & Quiet is enabled and once you have booted into Windows the processor runs at lower speeds (as per the tasks running) and when idle the temp will be less than that shown by Bios.

Yeahhh really! those are nothing as others arte facing temp. To be honest those all are having C2Duos are facing huge temp. problem.....some are having 60-70 celcius!
Compared to them ur temp is nothing, instead its moderate temp.
Don't mess with it much otherwise u will come up with something freid!

Count me in.I have e6300 at it rums at 52 normally and easily reaches 65 on gaming.I think I need to worry.

No pain....No gain
Whatever it may be, always try to keep the CPU temp. at or below 60C. Mine E4300 @ 3.4GHz barely reaches 58c while gaming, although with ORTHOS running for 30 mins. the temps does reach around 62-63C . I use Enzotech Ultra-X cpu cooler instead of the stock cooling.

If that's at stock cooling u need to worry a lot more than what ur doing now.When u run orthos ur cpu temp will surely go past 70C.Its too dangerous.Underclock/buy a good CPU cooler.

Thanx guys for all the advice . I'm just waiting for the cool winter months . Let's hope we got snow in Delhi this time ... no more overheatin' blues then :rolleyes:

Not for one more year atleast.Actually my PC is under warranty and I have repeatedly mentioned to them about this problem.It anything goes wrong I am gonna shove up the burnt processor up their a&&es.

hahahahahah.....nice joke!

Well all other people who are facing heating problems.....i suggest u all to get some colling solutions from any brand u like. Like use copper heatsinks, water cooling.....Cooler Master is having AQUAGATE mini....comes in handy proce and easy to install!

THIS IS FOR LAPTOP

Mine Laptop is getting Very hot .
Even when i just turn on the laptop for few mins 10-15 mins and without doing any work it starts getting little hot.

But when i do video encoding or when i use to play videos it is getting hotter.

I purchased it on Mar 2006 - So approx it is 1 and 1/2 Years old .

But from some months 2-3 months the problem of getting hot is occuring.
Otherwise there was no problem of heating.

This is screenshots for the Temperature.

THIS IS REGRADING PC NOT LAPTOP

Also i have iball cabniet , when i connected sata hard disk the sata power cable got burnt.and also iball powersupply cables got burnt. so i will change powersupply, But when i check i also found 1 fan cable got burnt so i removed the cable from the connector ,so is there ok to run computer if one fan is stop. where to get fan cable that is connected from fan cabniet powersupply.

First find out the cause of these burns before connecting new cables and running the PC.

It was sata hard disk that was faulty. i replaced it with new hard disk but with ide port.

How it is dangerous . What is the maximum temperature CPU and Hard disk can tolerate.

Mine CPU go at 82 Degree at VOB to AVI conversion

man !!!!!! 82deg ?? celcius or fahrenheit ? 82C is quite high even for many gpu's . cpu's shud stay below 60C even on max load . hdd's stay around 40 but i think upto 50C is ok .

82 Degree C . Not fahrenheit
