Hi All,
Curious as to what tempatures I should expect to see for an Intel P4 630
using the stock HS/Fan assembly?
Just set up a new system for a neighbor consisting of an ASUS P5GDR2-X
mobo, Pentium 4 630 processor (stock Intel HS/fan but using Arctic
Silver 3 heat sink compound instead of the thermal pad) in an Antec
Sonata case. I'm running the case fan at full speed, not using the BIOS
to control the CPU fan speed, not using Speed Stepping and not
overclocking.
ASUS Probe is reporting what I think is rather high CPU temps ranging
from 53C to 61C. At this point I'm afraid to run a full on stress test
so I have no idea where the temps max out. I've heard the 600 series
CPU's run hotter, but I think that may be a little to hot so I'm
wondering if I have a good thermal contact with the stock heat sink.
My personal system is an ASUS P4P800 P4 2.6G overclocked to just over 3
Gig. I'm using an all copper Zalman for cooling and my system usually
runs around 35C to 48C most of the time. So you can see why I'm
concerned that 53C for a CPU without much of a load on it seems way to
hot!
Did I do a bad job of attaching the Intel heatsink/fan assembly or does
the Intel 630 typically run 53C without that much of a CPU load?
Thanks in advance to all who reply,
John
