Default What Temperatures do Pentum 4 Prescotts run at?

I know it depends on load and such, so i'll give what i've observed.


From leaving it alone doing nothing a overnight, it hovers around 130 F (I don't feel like converting). And under a full load of video converting, it jumps to about 144, sometimes spiking to 150.
It's been like this at the stock of 2.4GHz, and when I overclock it to 2.61, there's no noticeable differences. And I know for a fact most other single cores don't run this hot. I'm just wondering if this is average for this type of processor.

I know of a few people both on the internet and in person who say that the Prescott runs very hot. Are you using the stock heatsink and fan?

Surprisingly, yes, as I haven't found the money to order a better one. It gets quite a bit of ventilation though.

Then it's a shock to you that it's so toasty? D: What do you mean "surprisingly?" :|

Surprisingly meaning why haven't I gotten a new heatsink/fan combo yet

I averaged at 75C under load even with a Zalman heatsink. It's not worth it anymore.

Guess there's no point in even thinking about getting another heatsink is there?

Ah well, if it burns out by this time next year I won't be mad, I'll probably have a laptop for college.

those tempratures are what I get with good heatsinks in my not airconditioned poor airflow conditions. so youre getting a good temp for stock heatsink. but its not worth putting money into a Pentium 4, other than ram (because that's at least cheap) Step up to a Core

I want an entirely new computer really, something with a PCI x16 slot than AGP. if the CPU dies I'll just get one off ebay or something and use this a a storage computer or something to that effect.

Unoverclocked Pentium 4s should be around 55C which is about 131F.

150F should be ok. Intel tests their processors to run fine with failure rates less than 5% in 2 years for up to 120C which is about 250F give or take.

by the way, its fairly pointless to compare CPU temps across different motherboards since they all read temps quite differently. On the same board though you can measure relative to other heatsinks and whatever.

or if this was INTEL CORE we could do it, seeing as those have temp sensors onboard.

prescotts are the hottest goddamned processors ever anyway. If the thing isnt crashing it will work.
