Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been here but I've been really busy with school and such.
I finally broke down and decided to splurg on a new computer, here's what I got: -Asus P5B Delux Wifi Ed. -Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 E6600 OCed to 2.8 -Zalman copper CPU fan -ATI Radeon X1900XTX -New NEC 19inch with 900:1 Brightness -1GBx2 DDR2 800 Ram OCed to 2volts. -120gb hdd (sata) -Rosewill 550w PS I have a question. I feel like my cpu is running really hot, especially with the zalman. underload it gets to about 55c, and i'm using arctic silver 5 and this fan. my voltage is set to auto at 1.36v. I don't know why it's running so hot. i'm thinking the fan may be defective. any ideas? thanks. |

intel = runs hot when oc'd
AMD = best for oc'ing from my experience ive overclocked my 3700+ from 2.4 to 3.2 w/o my temps changing *edit* that HSF looks like it might be a little on the heavy side and when its heavy its going to spread the thermal paste unevenly so make sure the thermal paste is in the right spot and it should perform a little better. IMO this is the reason i went to liquid cooling in my rig This post has been edited by Celiracer18: Oct 21, 2006 - 12:47 PM -------------------- -Brian
