its a 2.4C first off

Aiiiighty, maybe yall saw my thread about my temperatures not going down really after i changed my HSF to a new one.



but after using the Prime95 torture test (which im doing right now as i type) im pretty sure my temps have gone down....


i used to alt-tab BF1942 and get about 59-61C

now during the test the highest ive seen is 55C, which was only for a second

so Temps: Idle: 42ish Load:55Cmax






you think ill be able to get an OC that gives me better sytem performance?




im running the 2.4C on an IS7-E
with 2x256MB of GEIL golden dragon dual channel (2-6-3-3)
^the ram wont run at those latencies withought crashing my computer sadly, but they run fine at auto detected 2.5-7-4-4







how would yall do this? im very new to OCing and all but i know what all the settings in the BIOS are. sooo if you think i could get an OC that improves system performance and wouldnt give me incredibly high temperatures lemee know

thanks
 
i think i'd resolve my temps before i do any overclocking if i were you.

50* is my max if i'm doing any kinda computering.

if i were you i'd take off the side of my case and point a floor fan at full blast at it then take a look at your temps.

but that's just me. and other than i'd say just go in and bump the FSB first.
 
well the chip is rated for about 72C max before it starts breaking and stuff so i thought i was ok


ehhhhh i need more opinions what does eveyrone else think
 
aiiight so i decided to do some OCing this morning



im running 250fsb and 200mhz ram so thats a 5:4 ratio

i think this is where its going to stay, does that sound pretty good?

That's a good overclock. Are your temps within reason? If not, you'll need the high performance heatsinks.
 
highest ive seen under load is 59C, but that was just for a few seconds


intel says the highest itll go without braeaking is around 70C

plus


i have an abit board and after reading the stuff people have posted its been proven that abits temperatures show about 8-12C higher

and my load is about 56C constant





soooo this looks ok to me, anyone see any major problems?
 
ack, will this greatly diminish my processor life?

thats what someones telling me, also my warrenty is voided now, but will they be able to tell from the chip that i OCed?



btw im noot touching voltages or anything
