Comment: Hi,
I need some help on a cpu heat issue. I bought this cpu 5 months ago (Pentium 4 HT 3.0E Prescott 800MHz FSB) and the temps on this thing are high. Idle, the temps are 54 degrees celcius constantly. Full load I have seen it get to 63. I am using the stock copper core HS&F that can with it with artic silver 5. I have never overclocked it due to the temp already being high. Can someone please help, or can pinpoint the problem? Or is this normal? I have read others have theirs overclocked to 3.8 and still running at 34 degrees with this stock HS&F. Here is a little about my system:
Case - HugeBee w/ 400 watt Power Supply
It has a rear 80mm case fan and a tube on the side panel allowing the cpu fan to blow air out the case.
P4 HT 3.0/1MB/800
1GB Samsung DDR400 RAM
-ASRock P4V88 Socket 478 VIA PT880 ATX Intel Motherboard
-nVidia GeForce 4 ti4600 AGP video card
-Conexant video capture card
-sound blaster live
-conexant modem
Please let me know if you need any other info...
Thanks!!

Reply: (edit)You could possibly do better but I don't think that your current temps will cause problems.

Reply: (edit)You didn't mention your case temperature, if it's higher than normal or you don't have good airflow around the CPU, it will raise the CPU temp. Sorry, I do not check for private messages

Reply: (edit)My case temp stays around 35-40. I have heard these cpu's run hot but I wonder how hot is too hot? I can't seem to find that out.....

Reply: (edit)My P4 3.0 idles about 48. Under load about 60-62. Your idle temp. is high but it won't hurt anything, 63-67 under load is not a problem either. The tube on the side should be drawing air in to the HS. Adding a fan to help draw the air in might be helpful.

Reply: (edit)I have the same CPU, and mine runs hot also and was very concerned, so I called Intel and they told me the heat can run as high as 75C with no problems.
