Safe Temp. for Sempron 3000+ 512K (barton) ????

nCaine · May 16th, 2006, 06:34 PM

I got question , what are safe tameratures for sempron 3000+ 512K , this one is on Barton core.
I OC itr from 2 GHz to 2.22 GHz

Asus PC Probe shows that i got like :
idle : 56 C
full load 61 C
No hangs or issues.
CPU temp Treshold is set to 77 C

The thing is that the temp. are almos the same when i use it on 2 GHz or on 2.22 GHz .
I got mouted coller from some TOP barton processor so its doing nice job.

Can someone point me what are safe temp. and to some software that is good to test OC CPU.

Try a program called prime 95 for testing your cpu. If you can run that for about 20/25 mins with out a crash i'd say you've got a good/stable overclock.
Keep an eye on the cpu temps as it can stress the cpu a lot

THX guys , i got some question more.

Can it be that ASUS PROBE show false temp. ??

I got Asus VIA KT 400 mobo.
Or the cooler do that good job ?? Its designet to the strongest Barton.

And one more guys.
Is ther some other factor other that TEMP. that i must wath when overclocking CPU ????

PS. THX Richy-boy

UPDATE. Runned PRIME 95 some 20 minutes max temp. 65 C , OC from 2 GHz to 2.22 GHz.
Gonna push it lil more.

No problem, glad it helped.

just remember to save any important information on your hard drive before overclocking to much , I've messed up a few windows installs with bad overclocks.

Ok i noticed some strange thing.
I dont know if this two things are releted.

I cant go higher that 2.22 , i know its not the temperature. Comp just wont boot.

When i stess it with the 2.22 GHz OC , probe gived me some strange warning.

SORRY about crappy screene ( dont have PShop installer , im after reinstall ).

Look at the voltages ??? Is this possible that my PSU is fucking up . Its 350 W one.
The warring was about the 12+V

350w should be ok but if it is giving you problems then i would back down the cpu, if your psu blows it'll take your rig with it.
Check how many amps are on the 12v rail, you need about 20a.
2.2 ghz is a good overclock, If you are going to keep it at 2.2 keep close watch on the temps and also check the psu is not getting to hot when running.

Temp with the 2.21 GHz are 65 C at full load (prime95 for half hour).

Dont know what to do now , the warning that Probe give me when at full load when the 12+ jump to 13.2 and the warning start to beep , make me worry.
