Hi all again, I'm back to factoring now, and my cpu temp is never reaching 60°C (over 65 with LL) and the board 50°C (over 60 with LL) which I consider not too high... Doesn't it mean that the factoring code can be optimized? It's not taking advantage of all "parts" of the cpu apparently... Ar

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello again Elias, 65°C for a williamette P4 is a normal temperature when run at full load (i.e. Prime95), with a stock heat sink. For comparison my 2.4GHz Northwood CPU, overclocked to 2.7GHz, with stock heatsink/fan, the temperature reads as 5

Thanks all, actually I was thinking of opening the case, (but too lazy to do it...) and the weird thing now is that the temperature is stable with Prime95 running with other applications, and it's not reaching the level it was reaching two days ago and I'm still testing the same number... It's

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello Elias, I guess you must have one of those williamette P4's, these tend to warm up a bit. Since you had no such problems for the past three months, I infer, I would recommend that you open he case and dust off the heat sink and chipset. Dus

Hi I had let my computer work on factoring for a while, and I switched back to LL testing two days ago, and last night my computer was beeping all the time because the cpu and the board were overheating... There should be no problem with my hardware, I got good fans that I bought 3 months ago, a
