Sempron 2400+ Overclocking help?

[AverageNinja]

Hello OC3D,

So today I was like: "I have had enough, I want to overclock my Sempron 2400+".

But I have Prime95 running for half an hour now, and the temperatures are at chilling out between 58'Celcius and 62'Celcius (Most of the time at 59'Celcius). Even though I'm only on stock cooling, aren't those temps a bit high?

I may have to clean the inside out anyway

Any thoughts/suggestions?

My motherboard is the GIGABYTE 7VT600-RZ

The software I'm using to monitor the temps is: Aida64. Is this program accurate?

Those temps arn't high at all mate, infact they are really good temps

Do you think I would be able to get another 0.1GHZ out of it?

The thermal-threshold is 90'Celcius

I'm still on the stock speed though

Thanks mate

I´m going to try after my windows updates are finished (new Windows 7 install

)

Just overclocked my CPU to 1,68 GHZ

Running prime95 to see if I can make it to 1,70 or 1,75

CPU still sits at a nice 60*Celcius. Getting to 1,72GHZ now

Set at 1,70GHZ. Had prime95 running for half an hour and it was still sitting nice at 60'Celcius. I'm leaving it with this

The threshold maybe 90, I think the mobo may even cut out at 80, but iirc they don't like 65+.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember 2.4g and 65 degrees for Athlon/Sempron under wussy cooler conditions.

Temps are still very good, push it until you can't

Prime 95'ing a 1,72GHZ. But I'm still at same voltage (motherboard overvolts auto), so I don't think it'll be a problem

After running prime for 1,5 hour, the temp starts going up a little bit. now goes between 60*C~63*C Mostly 60*C~62*C. an average of 61.6*C At the moment.

Stable at 1,72GHZ. Random freezes at 1,73GHZ and even at 1,72GHZ it froze once. Definately don´t want to go higer.

What is its stock speed btw?

What is its stock speed btw?

2400+ (rated)

1667 MHz (actual)

My CPU cooler has some dust in it. Getting a bottle of compressed air to get it clean.

So then should it not be able to oc a lot futher than 1.72

As I said, my CPU Cooler has some dust in it, I'm getting a bottle of compresses air to get it out of there. Also, my cable-management sucks. I'm going to do something about that now

 

[seumasbeathan]

What cooler you got?
