<so is Piii almost at it's limit yet?> With > 1 GHz Intel will have all troubles in the field. The part of the problem is that the power consumption of Coppermines is severely understated in Intel specs, at least by 40%. There are codes in usenet circulation that can get Cumine to the limit, for example: ========= Dejanews.com search on "BurnBX" ====== >> Forum: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking >> Thread: CPU temp!? Subject: CPU temp!? Date: 07/05/2000 Author: Olly <olly_v18@yahoo.co.uk> Hi people, My new 650 socket 370 processor is running at idel at about 40~50 oC and ranges 60~80 oC with say seti rning. This seems a little to hot or is this normal what are you lot recording the temp as? Thanks Olly. Subject: Re: CPU temp!? Date: 07/05/2000 Author: Cornelis Zijlstra <cornelis@noshit.llama.nl> my proc is running around 50 degrees celcius when running SETI (39~58) with room temp of 22 degrees If I use BurnBX, the temp goes to ~78 degrees (!). Proc is still stable then tho.. using socket 370 cB0 650 PIII @ 910 mhz (1.85 volt) regards, cornelis PS: coooling is an alpha heatsink (pfh 6035) with arctic cooler compound.. ============ quote ends ============ No wonder that secondary power supplies on Intel-based boards may not handle this kind of current increase, especially at 1.75V, since the manufacturers were mislead by Intel with regard of max-power specifications. Yet some Intel-dorks still believe that Cumine consumes less power than Athlons... Regards, - Ali
