Hey guys, I've been looking around on the net for an explanation of what kind of operating temperatures should be expected of a P4 3GHZ (530J), but I can 't seem to find anything very reliable, so thought I'd ask here.
The impression that I'm getting is that its should be exprected to run at 40c-55c under load - and I want to confirm this because mine is idling at anywhere between 52c-68c, and tends to hit up to 80c if I check the temp after doing something intensive (ambient case and mobo temps are what they should be, not getting higher that 38c, usually sitting at 35c).
Using the mobo's temperature and voltage monitor, I see that it's threshold is set as 90c, and given that result of 80c after an intensive usage, I am presuming that it hits 90c, the thermal throlling is kicking in, and I get bad choking on my programs (programs that were not affected with choking and stuttering previously, which is what tipped me off that something was wrong).
However, coming back to those unreliable net searches, I have read that the socket 775 range of intel chips are actually built to be able to handle operating temperatures that can hit up to 115c and still function well - which just made me think 'wtf? I think I better see what the guys think...'
anyone have any thoughts?
