Judicus Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Hey guys, I'm new here. I think I'm running a little too hot, but I've got no frame of refferance to base this on. My system: Mobo : A7V333 w/ Bios 1018.001 Beta CPU : Athlon XP 1800+ (I'm starting to think its a Palimino after reading a bit here) - Normal core voltage is something like 1.75 CPU Heatsink : Volcano 7 RAM : Micron 512MB 2700 DDR RAM Heatsink : Heatspreader + Fan (Thermaltake I think) Vid card : ATI (brand) 9500PRO 128MB DDR reflashed bios to enable OC I've got it running at 1666MHz (10.0 x 166) and at idle it sits around 52C, with the mobo at 43C. When it was unoverclocked it idled around 48C, and the mobo was 38C. Heres a few pics of my case (open and closed) Please no comment on the cabling. Can someone suggest a few ways of lowering the temp if its too high please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 theirs a post in here about how to tell what core you have but lapping your hatsink will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judicus Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I've read about that, but I dont have thermal compound handy, so I cant reseat my heatsink after taking it off. I was hoping that with a non-palimino core the vcore would have a lower standard voltage (my bro's Barton has a 1.65). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 You can look at the processor's OPN number, which is a number of characters on the processor core. These characters tell you the processor architecture,die maximum temp, cache, model number,etc. And I think those current temps are alittle too high, most people would keep there temps below 50C for cpu and most of the time the motherboard temps would be 10C lower than the processor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 if you had a hot house those would be alittle closer like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judicus Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Its set up in the basement, and despite a recent bout of really hot weather, its kinda nice and cool down here. I cant look at the OPN number because, as I said before, I have no thermal compound to use when reseating the heatsink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinal Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 how many case fans do you have and how are they set up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey6915 Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 lap heatsink and try to get your case cooler on the inside cause im sure that your temps will drop alot cause v7 (volcano7) is a good cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 yes the v7 is a good hs cools my 2100+ fine but i would try tolap the hatsink first if you need to know how just post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judicus Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) I've searched these forums for for how to lap the hs, but can't find anything there. I'm about to look on google, but with my recent luck on searching there I doubt I'll find anything. So, could someone tell me what lapping a hs is? Case fans: 6 (2 bays) HD cooler fans, but they're above the mainboard (21" case) along with an exhaust thats above the PSU. 2 fans blowing on the CPU HS (one from the back of the case, and one from the side) 1 fan sucking air out the front. My fist post has pictures of all of these, although you must excuse my general ineptness with a drill Edited July 23, 2003 by Judicus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 You want air in the front. Air exhausting from back. Intake in sides and exhaust through top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
