what is the max cpu temp for a pentium 4 3 ghz processor?

Pentiums start rolling back their clock (thus slowing down processing) at fairly low temps.   Its best to keep them below 65 celsius otherwise your system will grind to a halt when the therman protection kicks in.

There is one constant you can always depend on with Intel: Anything outperforms a Celeron. There are many reasons for this, all of which can be traced to the physical differences between the two processors. The most important differences between the two lie in their Front Side Busses (FSB), their cache, their clock speeds, and their internal instruction sets. Pentium 4 processors support up to an 800Mhz FSB while the Celeron supports a maximum of 533Mhz. What is the difference? Well, the FSB is the physical connection between the processor and the system's memory. At 533Mhz, the data transfer rate is theoretically 4.2 gigabytes per second. At 800Mhz, it goes up to 6.4 gigabytes/second. When dealing with applications that process intensive graphics or audio files, this makes a HUGE difference. Now, let's look at clock speeds. The Celeron's maximum clock speed as of right now is 3.33Ghz, and the Pentium 4 is 3.8 Ghz. In today's world, a 500Mhz difference won't impact performance as much as, say, 3 years ago. But still, 500 more Mhz won't at all hurt you! Now, let's look at perhaps the most important thing of all--cache. Cache is memory that is stored on the processor itself. It is used ALL THE TIME. The processor stores files/instructions in it's cache for instant access (the data transfer rate of the cache in the Pentium 4 is over 30 gigabytes/second!) and uses internal logic to decide which things to store in there. Obviously, the more cache the processor has, the more things it can store. The Celeron has 256 KB of cache which, in today's world, is horribly low. Most Pentium 4's out there now have 1 MB of cache, and the latest ones have 2 MB! This is either 4 or 8 times as much as the Celeron, and this translates to ASTRONOMICALLY HUGE performance increases! Every single thing you do on your computer becomes faster with more cache, and this is the number 1 reason why the Celeron is a slower performer when compared with an equally clocked Pentium 4 (and it's also one of the main reasons the Celeron is so much cheaper!). Lastly, the internal instruction programmed into the processors themselves are different. All currently produced Pentium 4's support a technology called "Hyper-Threading". Currently, processors are only able to process one thread (or instruction from a program) at a time. Hyper-Threading allows the Pentium 4 to process 2 threads at a time. In theory, this means it is twice as fast. But hold on, it's not as simple as it sounds. If you go onto a computer that has Hyper-Threading technology and look at the Device Manager, you will notice that there are 2 processors. If you look at the Task Manager, you will see 2 CPU's. But there really aren't 2 processors. One is virtually, and unfortunately it is hardly ever taken advantage of. Multi-threaded applications are not dominant in the market. Most everything out there is written for single-threaded processors because manufacturers don't expect a majority of the computers out there to have processors that can handle more than 1 thread at a time. Therefore most applications see no performance gain from having Hyper-Threading. However, those applications that DO support multi-threading will take advantage of the Pentium 4's technology and the performance is awesome! The Celeron would never be able to take advantage of that, and programs that are written for multi-threading are usually processor-intensive programs, and those types of programs perform sluggishly on processors with little cache. The definitive answer is that the Pentium 4 is by far the better processor, but with quality comes the price. If performance is what is driving this question, undoubtedly choose the Pentium 4. If price is the deciding factor, TRY to go with the highest-priced Pentium 4 your budget allows and if all else fails, get a Celeron.

Your CPU is a Socket 478 with a 400MHz FSB. You'd need to find a Pentium that fits that socket and uses a 400MHz FSB. Your upgrade options are limited because it is an older socket. An upgrade for your CPU would be about $100 for a 2.0GHz P4, but the benefits probably aren't going to be anything to write home about. I personnaly don't think it's worth the trouble. Save up and buy a new motherboard and CPU.

The original Pentium 4, codenamed "Willamette", ran at 1.4 and 1.5 GHz and was released in November 2000 on the Socket 423 platform, and later Socket 478 from 1.5GHz to 2GHz.\n\n*Tidbit: The Pentium 4 line of processors was retired on July 27, 2006, replaced by the Intel Core 2 line, using the "Conroe" core.

About 36-40C idle 46C the most on load. You would be fine up to 60C but that would be not really an ideal temp for sure.

Yes 1.4 Ghz is fine for casual computing tasks like surfing, chat etc. Besides on a laptop processors usually have a failsafe feature that won't allow it to exceed certain speeds because of the heat it will generate. So even if the manufaturer says it's rated at 1.x Ghz, in reality the processor will be by default limited to about 80% of that figure for most of the time. Unless you're going to do 3d modelling or video editing, it really isn't a big deal save for the price.\n\nSince you have 512MB memory, then that's good to go.

Speaking from architectural point of view Pentium III and Pentium 4 are entirely different creatures.  Pentium III core is based on the Pentium Pro core that was introduced many years ago.  Pentium III is the evolution of that core with added features like SSE and etc.\n\nPentium 4 however was a completely different core based on the NetBurst architecture.  The architecture was designed to assist higher clock speed through its longer stages of execution.  It's perfect for multimedia applications that are repetitive and require a lot of data to be pushed out in a repetitive manner.  The downside to this is that, it is less efficient than Pentium III processors because of the length of the stages Pentium 4 does less work per clock than Pentium III.  So a Pentium 4 at 2.8 Ghz may only be able to perform at the level of a Pentium III at 2.0 Ghz.\n\nIn an interesting move by Intel, the latest cores, Core2 based, are a return to the Pentium III philosophy of doing more per clock and complete abandonment of Pentium 4 core.  Core Duo and the Core Technology based on the Pentium M core developed by Intel's Israel Research center brought the focus back to efficiency in thermal heat and also instruction per clock back into vogue.\n\nPentium 4 is on its way out.  Now the chic thing to do is package multiple processor cores in 1 die and have multicore processors.  (It offers absolutely no performance advantage if the software is not able to use the additional cores.)\n\nFor multimedia, Pentium 4 is an impressive platform.  For general usage, Pentium III provides a better balance of performance.  In either case, they are both on their way out.

Well that's a Compaq MB.\n\nAccording to the Tech Guide (see 1st link):\nAll units use the PGA423 ZIF mounting socket and ship with the Pentium 4 processor in a Flip-Chip (FC-PGA423) package installed with a passive heat sink.\n\nI found a description of a 3GHz option for this number of pins at Tom's Hardware, see second link.

I would say the Pentium 3 would be better. But for games I wouldn't really try to play much at all with either of those CPU's.

Besides adding/reconfiguring fans, or removing/reapplying thermal paste to your processor,  I would STRONGLY advise using CPUidle.  This small program runs in the background and tells your computer to "relax" when you are not doing something on it, or are just using it to do basic things.  \nIt basically keeps your cpu occupied when it isn't doing power tasks and thus LOWERS the cpu temperature DRAMATICALLY!  I use it on both my desktop and notebook, cause remember, the lower the temp the longer life you will get out of your processor!  Try it!

Doubtful. Your PC is most likely a 478 or even 423 socket. You will have to replace it with a like socketed chip and one that your BIOS understands. eBay a P4 2.4 same socket is probably the fastest you will get your BIOS to support, check with the motherboard manufacturer on CPU support since you did not give enough information here.

ah there correct but 10% us okay to overclock maximum is about 20%... but i warn you if you overclock your cpu or your comptuer warranty will be cut off and it wont exist anymore for you.... here i can give you all the info. you need hold on....\n\n\n\n\nPC Hardware: Free Speed: Overclocking Your PC\nPerformance Boosting Basics\nWant a free speed boost for your computer? Try a little overclocking--an enthusiast trick that PC tweakers have been using for years to get free speed out of their systems. Many of today's CPUs can run faster than they're rated to do, and getting that added performance is simply a matter of carefully changing some settings. Overclocking won't turn an ancient PC into a powerhouse, but it can help you squeeze every drop of performance out of your machine.\nTwo variables set the speed at which your CPU runs: the system bus speed, and the CPU's clock multiplier. To determine the CPU's actual operating speed, those two values are multiplied together. For instance, a bus speed of 100 MHz and a multiplier value of 5.5 translate to a CPU running speed of 550 MHz. This simple formula works with most Intel Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4 chips, as well as with AMD chips.\nSome motherboard and CPU combinations let you change one or both of those variables, setting a new speed for the CPU. Boost either setting and you're officially overclocking. In my experience, most CPUs and motherboards will run fine when overclocked 10 to 20 percent faster than the rated CPU speed. The bus speed setting may also affect the speed of the PCI or AGP bus, depending on which chip set the motherboard uses and how that chip set connects to all of the subsystems on the board.\nThe trick to overclocking is in knowing when to stop. Crank up the speed completely beyond the operating limits of the CPU, system bus, or RAM, and the PC will crash or freeze a lot. If you've set the clock too high on a system that holds the clock settings in BIOS, it may fail to boot, and you'll have to use the PC Setup program to reset the clock settings stored in CMOS RAM. (In some cases, you may have to reset the CMOS RAM more directly: Either remove the CMOS memory retention battery, typically a button-style cell, or move a jumper on the system board; that jumper is often marked 'clear CMOS'.) If your PC uses switches or jumpers to set clock and multiplier values, you'll simply need to reset them to a slower speed.\n\nCPU Overclocking the Easy Way\nThe PC Setup program screen in Figure 1 is from an Abit KA7 motherboard that offers lots of overclocking controls when the CPU Operating Speed is set to 'User Define'. The CPU FSB/PCI Clock setting also affects the speed of the PCI bus. I have found that most PCI cards will overclock about as well as the average CPU does.\nOverclocking the AMD Athlon XP+ 2600 processor on my ECS KT-600A motherboard involves just one setting. The multiplier in the Athlon XP+ 2600 processor is fixed at 11.5, allowing a CPU speed range between 1910 MHz (166 x 11.5) and 2288 MHz (199 x11.5). The Athlon XP+ 2600 runs at 1900 MHz typically, but the chip I tested worked well when overclocked to 2200 MHz.\nCPU Overclocking by the Bits\nBefore designers made CPU speed settings changeable via software, switches or jumpers on the motherboard controlled the speed. You'll find this arrangement typical of early (3 to 4 years old or older) AMD, Pentium I and II, and Celeron boards. Over clocking with switches and jumpers works in the same way as using settings in PC Setup: You simply increment the multiplier and bus speed settings to speed up the processor until you find a reliable running speed.\nThe CPU clock speed setting also affects the AGP bus speed on this board. Other motherboards use DIP switches (Figure 4) for both the CPU clock speed and the multiplier settings.\nVideo Overclocking Made Easy\nMost of the overclocking buzz is not about turning a PC into a superco
