Using the hardware in my signature I have run into a bit of a snag with my OC. I know I'm still using the stock cooler, but I have removed the stock paste and applied some of my own (not AS5, but still a step up) and re-seated the cooler to make sure it is making proper contact. What happens is that even though I'm good for 10 hours of Small FFT's at the clock/voltage in my sig, 3.3GHz /w a small bump in CPU voltage results in the system basically just shutting down after a few minutes. The shutdown temperature in the BIOS is disabled and I'm only at about 65C load at the time of shutdown.
I haven't checked my NB temps but at this point I figure it's either NB temps, NB/SB voltages, or an FSB wall.
I'm not sure if a "random" shutdown like that would be characteristic of an FSB wall though, and I'm more or less looking for a bit of guidance in figuring out what's causing the shutdowns. I've tried more Vcore...but it actually makes is shutdown sooner, which kinda makes me think that even though I'm only at 65C load, that this particular CPU might need to be cooler then that at 3.3GHz.
What do you guys think?
