X4 Ray Tracing - Optimal CPU

[Ian Pellant]

... went back to the Intel web site and found the white paper for the P4 660 series. (It is 6 years old, after all). It was designed to cut in throttling at over 73C. I'm on the edge.

OC over 4GHz and Chief ray tracer starts failing. It may be CPU temp throttling.

Seems stable at 220 (3.94GHz) which cuts the test ray trace to 15:43. Shaving almost 2 minutes off the time.

Studying the fan speed settings to see if the CPU temp can be brought down a bit.

Cheers
