Stock and Overclocked Heat

[enVias]

I have a question!

If you have a P4 630 (3.0GHz) and overclock it to 3.8GHz, why does it get so much hotter than a P4 670 (3.8GHz) which is still at the same speed only running cooler?

I'd answer this but I don't have a clue about how Intel sets up there procs, lol.

this is a very good question i really don't know how to reply, i'l just sit back relax, listen to trance, and wait for a good response, i really cna't say my knowledge base is helping me here, i'll try and guess...

the faster CPU's have more capacitors/transistors, thus allowing more wattage at a lower temperature, this would also be effected, please, anyone correct my newbness to this topic

The answer is: It shouldnt do - unless you've upped the vcore to make it able to get to 3.8ghz,

The P4 670 has no reason to be the same temp unless it uses the same core, really (does it... urh....?) It's probably optimised for that speed...

Yeh. Your raising the Front Side Bus, dramatically, which in turn, uses more power, weather you like it or not, which then in turn, raises teh temp.
