Mine runs at 80c for days at at time with no problem. core0~=80, core1~=77, core2==~77, core3~79. _IF_ all four of your cores are running 100% something is screwy about your heatsink, except you have very nice low temps so something is good about your setup, too.
ABSOLUTELY right, S[H]ady. My old two single-core AMD Opteron 242's were great at walking, but they couldn't chew gum at the same time. Core 2 dual's can only do a certain amount of real, actual work. Bandwidth multiplied times 2 is quite a lot less than times 4, even with the operating system's...
Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R overclocks to 3.2GHz trivially, easily. I got it cause it has everything on-board and is known to be a reliable, flexible overclocker. see sig. for particulars.
Hey, can anyone tell me what Speedfan v4.33 Temp1 and Temp2 are on a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R mobo? Temp1 may be the NB, on which I have a fan so it stays relatively low, but Temp2 can go nuts under load so I'd like to get some cooling on it whatever it is. The four cores are okay.
I have to thank all of you for helping to solve my FATAL ERROR: Rounding was . problem. Indeed, when I increased Vcore to bios 1.450 (droops to 1.328 loaded by Orthos), my system now runs Orthos error free. The intensified Vcore necessitated the addition of a side-panel fan to keep CPU Tcase...
