I have a custom made computer with 1.25GB Ram and a 2.8Ghz Hyperthreading processor on a Asus motherboard model P4V800D-X and I cant seem to get to its full potential when I try to run it at 800Mhz bus speed and get the full 2.8Ghz hyperthreading it overheats drasticly I upgraded my heatsink and fan to a copper heat sink and bigger faster rpm fan but still overheats even tryed silver thermal paste no good any thoughts only i can think of is liquid cooling system but is their any other way?
Could it be the CPU FSB going faster then it should? P4 runs hot like it is and overclocking a P4 will just run hotter i believe...
Best of my knowage yours is a 478 Socket and they ran diffrent types of P4 CPUs one was 400MHz, 533MHz I believe and the fastest is 800MHz P4 Extreme is 1066 MHz witch was only for Socket 775
Look on the CPU should show 2.8GHz\512\533\ something like that as example.
If you already know this then best I can figure the CPU is stuck in some kind of idle? Check task manager to see what it is doing.
I dont think its idling but thanks anyway i fixed the problem just needed a slitley bigger heatsink and fan the silenx 120mm works great with these type processors cools about 20 degrees celcius cooler than standard one i had
