Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

temps should be under 60C but you probably wanna ideally have idel 30 and full load 45 and under. Voltages pushing 1.7+ and you're going to start killing your processor or risking it. But some people play around with 1.9vcore to 2.0...however, I'd say stick to 1.7 and under.

Volume have about the same temps.
2.53 IT7-Max2 Vet 2 with temps around 50 Idle 63 load. I over clocked it to 2.79 and got load temps of around 70 and it actually worked fine although, I got worried so I brought it down to 2.53 again. So, the temps you have now are normal.

seems ok but i would recommend getting better HSF. i had a spark7 before and couldn't stand the noise level. you should get an 7000A-Cu or Al-Cu, low noise and performs just as well. btw, the temps on ur IC7-MAX3 is actually about 10 degrees C lower than what show sin Bios or Abit EQ i believe. so it's like 42 idle and 55 load probably.
The 7000Alcu is an excellent heatsink. It performs better than all Thermaltake heatinks that I have seen, and is nearly silent. I had a Swiftech MCX4000 w/92mm Tornado and switched to a Zalman. My temps are only 1-2C higher, and I can hear myself talk now.yourdeardaniel said:

Well, it is true that Abit boards report the temps high on average of 5 degrees celcius and even as high as 15 in some cases. So, if your board is off by 5 then I'd say you're on the riskier side of cpu temps. However, you may be fine for a while at those temps, but it's generally a precaution. I think Intel says officially 70C and under is fine before throttling the cpu, but remember a cool cpu is a happy cpu. So, yeah getting a Zalmann should help that temp issue out, but sometimes it's just the cpu, cause that 2.4 should be able to get u quite a bit past 2.7 without hitting the 70C mark, but sometimes certain cpus just wont cut it.

OMG! You need 1.725v to get your 3.0 to 3.5? damn. I have a 3.0c that will do 3.5 at 1.60v...but I can't seem to get above that 3.5mark. POS chip IMO. So I'm using a 2.8C that runs perfectly smooth and stable at 3.7Ghz (265fsb). Plus i can run my crapstix of Geil ram at 1:1 at too. I think the ram can go higher, but my 2.8 seems to crap out at above 265fsb. Going to get some better cooling and maybe that will help.
