P4P deluxe temp & OC questions
P4P Deluxe /2.6c
I ran the system at 10% OC (2.86) and the Asus probe shows the same 36/37c idle temp and after 15 minutes of online wolfensteins enemy territory showed 47c in the bios after an immediate reboot. The bios shows higher idle temps than the asus probe but almost the same gaming temps. Are my in a safe temp range ? Can I lower these temps a bit by cleaning the supplied thermal pad off and going with something like artic silver 3 ? I'm reluctant to try a 20% OC but has anyone else tried this with a 2.6c. I know I read the 2.4c OC's well but I don't want to burn this system up. Also, using the bios OC setting of 5%/10% etc is the bios making vcore adjustments as well ? thanks |

Is your motherboard P4P800 deluxe?

From my previous post:
Motherboard is P4P800 deluxe with 1008 BIOS. CPU is 2.4 GHz at 800 MHz quadpumped bus (200 MHz FSB). Memory is Kingmax 2x256 Mb PC-400. At default voltages I can reach 250 MHz FSB (1 Ghz quadpumped bus) for a 3 GHz speed with Intel boxed cooler. Memory ratio must be lowered to 320 MHz because setting it to fixed ratio doesn't keep a memory speed at that fixed speed. Why? At 320 Mhz memory is running 4:5 ratio (4:5=320:400 Mhz, your memory is running at 320 MHz and CPU at 400 MHz). Pushing FSB up is pushing up memory speed as well so if you push your FSB to 215 MHz (860 MHz quadpumped for CPU) it is pushing memory to 430 MHz at 1:1 ratio but only at 344 MHz at 4:5 ratio (4:5=344:430 MHz). With that calculation you can see that at 250 MHz FSB and 4:5 ratio (or 320 MHz selected in BIOS) your RAM is running at 400 MHz DDR speed. The most confusing thing is that 320 and 400 MHz speeds displayed during boot and in BIOS ARE NOT a final and locked speeds of your memory. It will be better to be shown and understood as memory:CPU ratio - 320 MHz is in fact 4:5 ratio and 400 MHz is in fact 1:1 ratio - and if you push up your FSB you are pushing up your memory speed. It is not locked as your AGP speed. This is preventing many users to overclock their computers. Hope that this is a clue to someone who is going crazy not be able to overclock... Thanks to "Uncle Maddog" and "jaeger" for answers in previous post. FYI, my CPU temperature is 3-4° higher at 3 GHz compared to 2.4 GHz. |
