Ok, so backstory
Fried my last board/ram so picked up a new set, for some reason it was cheaper to pickup 3200 ram instead of the 2700 that my processor runs at. Get everything installed, and working stablely, and I wonder if I could overclock it. As I'm kinda anal-retentive about cooling, I know i'm not going to have a problem, very well laid out air flow/case, I'd post pic's but I don't have a digital camera of any kinda. Anyways, so I turn the FSB up to 200 to take advantage of the speed my ram is rated for, just to see if it works. Turns out, processor runs just fine, and now instead of a 2500, I'm running a 3200. Didn't touch anything but the FSB.
Oddly enough, my temps jumped less then 4C, and are normally the same. Is that normal? Both the bios, and the ASUS probe that came with the board show operating load temps of like 40max, I'm having trouble believeing that a bump that high(nearly 800 3dmark5 score) only resulted in a 4 degree temp boost? I guess is what I'm seeing normal, or should I be worried that the temp probe's wonky?
(For information, Running an Antec case with 2 80mm Case fans, 2 80mm Powersupply fans, a 120mm case fan, an 90mm Thermaltake silentboost HSF, and a NV-5 on my 6800 OC. ) Like I said, bit of a heat nut. Board is a A7N8X, with 1gig of Corsair Value select(why I'm not really going to push it further)
