    P4 too hot?

    Hiya,
    I recently upgraded my PC, I replaced the CPU to a P4 2.40, RAM 512 of DDR and an Intel D845GEBV2. and added a 400 w PS.

    The cpu is running between 107 and 111(got it to 122 after playing Iron Storm for two hours)

    Isnt this a little hot for a 2.4?

    When I was building workstations (the last one I built was a 1.7 which was running in the high 90's.


    Whadda you think?

    thanks.

    El C-

    Sounds fine to me mate (as long as we're talking in fahrenheit). Thats not going to do any damage, but if a really hot day comes along and it goes a bit higher, you might look at some arctic silver and/or a better hsf.

    Already workin on the heatsink and Fan combo, what's your opinion on the new Vantec?

    My case is a bit snug so I may opt for a larger one soon, with more space for fans. (i have a front and a rear now but i mickey moused the rear one in as there is no real spot for it.

    Thanks!

    ah.... which one? if you refer to the VA4-C7040 (not a great chance) then it's a nice one, but beaten by volcano 7+ and so on. Sorry for the brief answer, short on time.

    the AVC sunflower has a great design, and seemed to be on par with the Volcano 7+ with less noise..
