Prescott in a P4P800 Temp. Problem Very Concerned!

[*FTB*~PrimeEvil~]

Heat Problem with the Prescott
Just went to a Prescott 3.0E Ghz

Just running windows is 55C / 131F
In Doom3 temp rose to 78C / 172F, Useing the stock fan that came with the
processor. (Retail)

The stock cpu fan from intel isn't cutt'n it, wtf

So if some one has and suggestions of what type of 3rb party fan would be
good for this processor let me know here in this thread.

I have the 3.2E (P4C800) with a Zalman 7000B-Cu
(http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/code_list.asp?cate=03040506)
cooler (with arctic sliver thermal paste) and my temps are at
44C(no-load, just running XP) to 53C(under load). However you need to
consider your case cooling and ambient temps which will change the
results you may get with Zalman.

Prescotts run hot! I've got the same CPU and this warm weather it's 48
idle and 60 full load (running ClimatePrediction.net). I'm using a
Zalman7000Cu with the fan running top speed, and the case is a
CoolerMaster Praetorian also with the fans running 100%.
Without the Zalman I'm sure mine would be at 78 like yours!

What is the 3.0E safe thermal operating range?

Do you have good case venitlation?

Tx for the advise, got permision from the wife to get some new stuff, LOL

Just running windows is 55C / 131F
I have a P4 3E and I'm using a Zalman7000Cu with thermatake lanmoto case (2
fan / 120cm)

It works in summer at 49c in idle and 65 under heavy load (doom3 for 2
hours).

Just installed on the weekend:

P4 3.0E, P4P800 SE.

System running 55C under load (united devices cancer research). Went
to do some browsing, all of a sudden the over temp alarm starts to go
off - CPU is at 89C. dump all the programs, still at 89C (asusprob is
polling every 5 sec). shut down, reboot - temp is fine. check over
system lots of heat and video card seems very hot (ATI 9500 Pro).
Dump the Asus AI program. System has been fine ever since. I don't
know if was something with the video card (as the ATI 9500 pro card
does NOT overclock unless you flash bios to 9700), or what. But,
system has been running for a couple of days now just fine at 55-58 C
with a full load of (united devices cancer research), as well as
installing all of my software again........


Anyone else find this?

One importend thing, see the yellow attention sheet in the processor box.
You should use a "Prescott ready" case. In the side panel of these cases are
pipes installed so the processor can get cool air from outside. See
www.intel.com/chassis. I use the Enlight 7254 ande the 4105 without any
problem. CPU themps don't get higher than 45 degree C, idle or stressed. And
due to this the noise of the CPU-fan is not to high.

Cheers,

I have a P4P800 Dlx but a Northwood CPU. The ASUS AI program was the
culprit in nearly destroying my XP Pro system. Not loading it in my case,
but trying to use it (very modestly) from windows. If I recall right (was
some time ago) it was even a beast on mine to get it uninstalled.

I would say run it without the program for a time and see what occurs. Mine
went right back to normal operation after getting rid of ASUS AI!

YMMV,
