Good point. Chances are there is a lot of dust preventing the heatsink from cooling like it should. Try that and recheck temp.

it's called thermal cool, or something like that

Coconut, it didn't raise the voltage to 1.68 until I went up to 3.6GHz, would your recommend keeping it at 3.0GHz or would it be alright to drop it to 3.3GHz @ 1.6v? I have CPU-Z and will check the...

Well before I used the ASUS AI OC feature I used CPU-ID to examine the CPU information. Before overclocking I was at 3.0GHz, voltage 1.6, FSB 200MHz, multiplier x 15, Bus 800MHz, idle temp 27.5.
...

Quick question...I overclocked my computer using the ASUS AI OCing tool. I tried to go 30% (3.9GHz) but the PC wouldn't boot, is that because the motherboard only supports upto 3.6GHz? Or was it just...

Yes, I have not hit 50 or over. Highest its been is 47*.

Yes the intake on the side is cooling the PCI/AGP card(s). I have one more fan leftover from a netfinity server so I will add that to the front.

Thanks

Hi Coconut, it is a cheap case but has a rear exhaust fan, a CPU exhaust, and I added another 80mm fan on the removable panel. It is a large case and has plenty of space for air to circulate.

Hi, I know you always are getting temperature related questions but here is one more :) Wondering if my new processor is getting too hot. It is a 3.0 GHz Northwood with a Spire Heatsink & Fan rated...

Does the computer have an AGP slot? If it is an older PC it may have on-board video or a PCI video card. Therefore an AGP card would not work. Here is a picture of an AGP slot, it is brown and...

I may be wrong but all I found to be different is that the FC-PGA2 processor has an (IHS) Integrated Heatsink Spreader to assist in cooling. Oh, it's not a celeron, it's a Pentium 4 3.0GHz 512kb...

How can it be a celeron when it is labeled a Pentium 4? here is the spec number SL6WK.

Can someone tell me the difference between a 478 pin PPGA FC-PGA2 Package, and a 478 pin PPGA processor?
Thanks

Hi, I thought I could find some ideas here to help me complete my new system. So far I have an ASUS P4P800 SE ATX Motherboard, 512MB DDR PC3200 RAM, Pentium 4
3.0 Ghz 800Mhz FSB 512KB cache. I will...

I plan to use my new PC for some games, Need 4 Speed UG 2, Half Life 2, some graphic design (photoshop), internet, word processing, PVR, and a little video editing.

Hi All. For my new motherboard I was looking to buy a Pentium 2.8-3.2 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache. I was just wondering if I would notice a big difference if I went with a processor that only had...

Anyone know where I can find a Pentium 3.0 GHz 800 FSB 1MB Cache socket 478 processor for a reasonable price, I have been trying ebay with no luck so far.

Glad you got the LEDs working. I'll remember that when I am setting up my board.

Thanks szukalski for the info. Fortunately I just got an ASUS board that will support pc3200 memory and a faster processor.

Yes, it is frustrating but it is the cheapest way to go. I would be upgrading 2 pc's by only buying one processor.

Yeah Coconut, I am not so sure of it myself. The chipset link you sent had a lot of information and confirms that the 845GL chipset is limited to 400MHz, but doesn't have any info on the cache. My...

coconut, would replacing a 2.4GHz celeron with a 2.26GHz Pentium 4 be noticeably faster even though it would have a 100MHz fsb and only 128KB cache?

Thanks

well i just talked with someone at compaq's help chat, she informed me that the chipset (845GL) limits the bus speed and cache to 400MHz and 128KB. Therefore, it would be useless to upgrade since I...

Yes, I just realized I left out the socket size. It does have a 478 socket. Do you think this is a wise upgrade? I found a used P4 2.26GHz processor on e-bay for $25.00.

Thanks again

Hi just wondering if I could replace a Intel Celeron 2.4GHz processor with a Pentium 4 2.26GHz or 2.4 GHz processor.

Here are the specs on the current processor:
Celeron 2.4GHz
400MHz Bus 100MHz...

Thanks for responding szukalski, it is an HP Pavilion 762n.

I was just curious because my friend's presario is and is only running at 100MHz, but everyplace I look it says to use pc2700 ram, that...

Hi, I have a P4 2.26GHz 533MHz bus. My FSB speed is 133MHz, I was wondering if I put PC2700 ram in if this particular computer would it run at 166MHz fsb. This is an HP and there are no RAM...

I thought this was an option for my computer but apparently is isn't. (My PC specs are in my signature). After a lot of researching online I have determined that the max or fastest processor ...

Hey Cat, just wanted to let you know that I talked with HP tech support, yes in india, and he said my mobo could support up to a 2.4Ghz pentium 4 without HyperThreading. I am not 100% positive about...

TKS, I am sorry it was such an inconvenience for you to help me out. I mean this is a tech help board right? I have done a lot of searching for this information, and like you, I found the wrong info....

Hi All. I have an HP 762n Pavilion. It a little over two years old. I am interested in upgrading the processor which is P4 at 2.26Ghz 478 pin, 533Mhz FSB. I am pretty sure the chipset is an Intel...

My second PC is running at 400Mhz, 128MB ram. It is an OptiPlex GX1 from Dell. Just wondering what you would suggest is the best way to speed it up. It does accept up to 768MB ram but the processor...
