I overclocked my computer and it seems that the northbridge is overheating.
I overcloked my Intel Pentium 4 processor from 2.66Ghz to 3.0Ghz. It runs at around 47C while Idle. Then I overclocked my EVGA Geforce 7300GT video card from 350Mhz to 420Mhz It runs at 57C while idle. My northbridge is running at 50C! I dont know if that is normal it burns your hand to the touch, and it has a passive heatsink.
Is 50C for a northbridge normal while idle?
what is the maximum temperature for a Intel Pentium 4 2.66Ghz HT processor? its a socket 775 with a 533 fsb
Another thing I noticed from the nVidia drivers. It says that the "Core Slowdown Threshold" is 125C!... is that accurate? I cant change it or anything but 125 seems ridiculously high.
I have installed the Thermaltake Bigwater 760i and that is what I have water cooling the processor, and have considered cooling the video card and the northbridge if these temperatures are not normal.
Thank you for any help, I highly appreciate it and I apologize if this post is real long.
