Solid OC for a Northwood 3.2Ghz?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

Okay I had a Lian Li fan cooled case 2 intakes 1 outtake and a 2 fan PSU
(counting as 2nd outake)

As of now I stepped the FSB to 208 Mhz x 16 for 3328Mhz. Absolutely no
difference in idl/load temps sofar (48/55 Celcius)

CPU has stock cooling.

I want 212 Mhz FSB x16 (locked multiplier) for 3392 Mhz (/1024 = 3.31 Ghz)
with cooled case and stock cpu cooling only.

I would like to know if that be fine for a box idling/running 24/7? ( I
never turn off my computer)

My 3.0 northwood is overclocked to 3.6 Ghz
my proc cooler is a Coolermaster Gear that now runs at 2900 rpm (max
3500)
i'm not a specialist like you,.. it was done by my clone builder...
bit the PC runs stable 24/24 and never got any hotter that 52 celcius
while running for hours a 3d lotring screensaver,.. at the time at 38
celcium processor temp.

perhaps my system info is helpfull:

Miltipier: 15/1
Northwood P4N Petntium 4C 130 nm 1.6 - 3.4 GHz 1.475-1.575V

Stepping 2 / 9 (9)
L2 cache multiplier 1/1x 3601MHz
CPU core power estimated 95W

FSB 4x240MHZ (960 Date rate)

CHIPSET1:
Speed: 2 x 192 MHz (348 MHz date rate)

You only want to run your 3.2 at 3.3 ??? You could have gotten a 2.8 or 3.0
which would have given you more mem bandwidth at 3.3 for much less money.
Your temps are high. Maybe your ambient temp is high or bad contact between
sink and processor. You are using the heatsink that came with the 3.2 right?

I Know this is an old thread, but.
Is it me, or does 48/55 C sound a little high for a P4?
Mine will run a little warmer then room temp on air.
About 5ºF over room temp.
It goes up 10-15ºF give or take a little more under load, but I've never
seen 55ºC
