Are your temperatures within acceptable ranges after beginning the overclocking process?
Are your temperatures within acceptable ranges after beginning the overclocking process?
I increased my FX 4300's clock speed to 4.3ghz and checked the temperatures. In Prime 95 under full load, the CPU package temperature reached 50°C.
... you might or might not, but I maintain my current rig under high heat.
I3-4170 model is around 70*C, but I keep it at 80+ and it still functions well (I prefer quiet operation). The motherboard stays below 50*C, and I’ve run this setup for two years without any problems.
I own three more rigs, all 775 units. I used the G31M-S2L 4.5GHz OC with 1.525V at 70*C+ using an 80*C+ chipset. It operated reliably for about five months as a dedicated server handling files and HTCP traffic, among other tasks.
You likely aren’t aware of power delivery systems, but they can reach up to around 100*C depending on the motherboard model and its quality. Generally, higher power delivery means better performance, and without proper cooling or heatsinks, it could damage the motherboard.
The safe upper temperature for the motherboard is approximately 95*C (though VRM on cheaper boards might hit 85*C).
If it's below 70 degrees Celsius, everything is fine, but what about the motherboard temperature?
There are three temperature sensors on the motherboard in the HWmonitor 43C, 61C, and 32C models. I think the 61C might be a bit too high, but I'm not certain.
Oh no, I didn't ask which motherboard you're using. Could you clarify that? Also, what kind of motherboard are you referring to?
Below 65°C is nice but over 65°C gets warm. Of course these temps change depending on the CPU, but quadcores work well. Your CPU temps look okay.
... You could be partially correct, but what about the situation where the power supply lacks passive cooling? Or if the sensor isn't connected to the power source at its designated location? He could end up with a dead motherboard.
Would it be better to lower your overclock settings? I'm curious about the potential improvements from this chip.
