OCers dream...

[Mirlyn2000]

I just noticed the temperatures on my OCed PIII. A day or so ago, I upped my 733 to 825. Not too bad for a start. HERE'S the kicker: I just got done taking a few laps around the tracks in NFS3. The Temps? ~23.8C. I am using the stock HSF combo for this socket 370. My temperatures running at 733 were HIGHER than those! Room/Case temp runs about 22C, not much difference. But the fact that the temperature decreased with OC is really wierd....maybe I should stick a 12 pack in the case and shoot for a gig!! If only I had a way to do a screenshot to show you...

Hmm.. that could be an error.. check your temp probe is touching the cpu... I had a t-bird say the same temp at 800 and 950... I read justed and 800 was overheating even

Have you considered that your room/case temps may have fallen?

As for the probe, its touching the side of the core under the HSF (obviously now way to get it to be ON the core). As for the surroundings temperature: yeah, they are always between 70-72.....year round (live in the basement )

There has to be an error somewhere...its just too good to be true. Maybe my probe is bad....hmmmm

Don't P3's have a temp sensor built in???

Gimme my TriLevel Cache

not this one....at least, MBM doesn't detect it (I guess its only for onboard sensors though, istn' it?)

Is there a program that uses the sensor? Or does anyone know if it does indeed have one? It's a newer 733/133 PIII FC-PGA...box has a pack date of 9/1/2000...any more info needed, I'll post...
