Hi i have a p4 2.66 not oc. It goes up to 60 C when iam at full load. i wanted to knw what is the safest temp i can get to. I have a $50 zalman heatsink.

60 C is way to hot for a Northwood with a good heatsink. I have (3)-P4 Northwoods all overclocked that never go over 45 C under full load

I have several northwood core CPU's (all the mobile variants in desktop mobo's). Speedfan and Hmonitor note that my CPU is running at 69/70 deg C. This is so not true (bios says at highest 35 deg c). Basically I think it is my cheap mobo which is not supported properly in either application. I am currently running a Northwood-256 (aka Celeron Mobile) 2.4g at 3.4g stable with a Zalman CNPS-7000B (what a heatsink). To sum up what I'm on about take a look at where you are getting these results.

(Speedfan did report the correct temps immediately after install but then screwed up)

If these are the case then check you have the heatsink installed correctly.

Pimps correct me if I am wrong. (I have an ASROCK p4vt8+)
