Computer Forum Overclocking & Cooling

ok, i have a AMD 64 3200+ with the stock cooler, I have taken the FSB from 200 to 225 Mhz (it cant cope with 230 :frowning: so ive left a little breathing room)

This Computer is on 24/7 and allways @ 100% CPU usage as it is running F@H.

Is this a bad idear? (:open_mouth: )

Its been running @ 225 Mhz for about 24 hours now… it seems to be sticking to 57*c.

Im using ‘Core Cell’ to do this as i have a MSI board, The Warning temp is set to 65*c… Its a sound alarm and it will also shut down the computer if i dont do anything about it within 15 secs (handy if im not at home/in the room)

Anyoen know the normal temps for this CPU? (Under load and idle)… ive looked at my temps before (!!)

Thanks guys (that also includes any girls here ;))

i would of thought normal temperatures are between 30 and 40 degrees at stock cooling on a 3200+
it should be ok running 24/7, if its 57 at full load, then its not going to jump to 65.

Thanks, just making sure as i dont really have the money to replace anything @ the mo.

Yeah also have you tried SpeedFan as I had Core Center and it went crazy on me…

Ive currently got MBM 5 (mother board manager 5) but its only usefull for having a look at my voltages etc as i cant set it to shut the computer down (or i havny spent enuf time using it, blah blah blah).

Thanks anyway, i will keep it in mind if anything goes nutty :slight_smile:
