not really, i applied a small dab on the CPU then i used a credit card to put little bits of TIM on the gaps between the nickel plate and the heat pipe. my ambient temps are about 33-34.

Looks like your ambient is fairly warm. How's the airflow in your case ?

i have a Cooler Master CM690II placed on top of my PC table, i also added an extra intake fan in the bottom of the chassis

At least my case has terrific airflow, I don't even have a fan on the bottom.

Then it's unstable. Your mobo temp sensor is probablly stuck, nothing to worry about.

no its move from 57C to 63C
i think i need to realign the cooler i facricated.

What is the max SAFE 24/7 crunching voltage you guys would feed a PII 955 BE and a AII X4 630
both of them on a Xiggy S1283 with AS5?

right now the PII is running 1.4v @3520mhz and the AII is 3500mhz@1.37v
I think its the board that is holding the PII back so much.
PII is 47c 100% load
AII is 43c 100 load

FINALLY GOT MY STICKS RUNNING IN DUAL CHANNEL!!!

i found out the mounting system had gotten crooked so it was showing high temps.
i have put 1.45V on the NB
and NB is at 2650GHz!

YAY! DUAL CHANNEL DDR2!!!

Found out Core 3 on my chip is a sucky overclocker.

Takes ~1.38v when on all 4 cores.

You can go up a little in clock speed, that PII should be hitting ~3.8Ghz @ 1.4v. Athlon II is going to be a bit more board dependent but should be able to obtain about 3.65-7. Temps are fine.

Congrats! What's the load temps like?

this should answer you question

JrRacinFan · Jul 26, 2011

So I'm guessing a little over 50C, which isn't great but not horrible either.

AMBIENT IS 37C, whatcha expect.

Very high compared to my 18C air conditioned ambient

de.das.dude · Jul 26, 2011

and CPU temps is max 49C not even 50!

and i would get an AC too. gets 45C inside during may. but my parents dont have enough money, and im just a student.

AMD 955BE 4.0Ghz
AsRock 890GX Extreme 3
8GB Corsair RAM
XFX HD5770 XXX Edition
NZXT Guardian 921RB
Coolit ALC Vantage
LG 42" HD LCD Monitor

all this equals one awesome system and looking to upgrading Graphics Card to either HD6770 in Crossfire or a XFX Radeon HD 6950 2GB in the near future

Whats the benefits of a higher CPU/NB speed. I have mine set too 2600mhz 1.375v is there any reason why i would want to go higher? I know it helps with memory bandwidth.

EDIT: texaschainsaw01 thats nice voltage at 4ghz.

i heard this case has great airflow thats why i bought it, i really dont know the reason why my temps are this high... tomorrow i'll take off the cooler clean it up and reapply some TIM and i'll see what happens.

A lot of times bad contact, poorly applied TIM are the issues. Keep us posted.

What Patty said + check ambient room temp & also tell what revision your CPU is (C2/C3/etc..., mine C3), what TDP (140/125W) & what TIM you use; Xiggy is great CPU HSF developer, if it has mirror finish the better, but if your ambient room temp doesn't allow too much of OC try either to lower it (unlikely though, seeing as my 965BE OC'd to 4.0GHz & idle temp under AS5/VenomousX combo runs like charm & doesn't overheat that much) or try to see what frequencies/voltages you set too high. Or better show your CPU-Z dump, that way the i'll know what you tweaked or not.

Hey everyone again lolz

this is my setup lol i told ya what i have now let me show you my setup

hey just wondering what board you are using what tyoe of cooling etc to hit 4.0ghz try dropping the fsb down to a even 200mhz put volts to 1.4 then step up your multiplier to hit 4.0ghz look futher down the page to see what my system runs at and try and match to roughly that

ps only try hitting 4ghz with water cooling

H50 and can only do 4Ghz with core 3 disabled @ 1.41v otherwise, ~1.48v-1.5v but then the chip gets too hot for my liking. Board in question is a Gigabyte ma790x-ud4p. Thanks for trying to help but even it locked and stock(3.2Ghz) is "enough" for my needs. I just like to play with low/mid range hardware. I get a max load temp of ~38C with an ambient of ~19C at 3.8Ghz tri.

thats a really good temp at full load lol i have a gigabyte board in the wifes pc with a 555be and i cant unlock the cores put that same chip into my asrock board and unlocks first go lol so far i have found that unlocking and ocing on gigabyte boards suck lol if your ale to get your hands on a asrock board and trying again lolz the board i use is the asrock 890gx extreme3 you can bet them for about 130 bucks my system build has only cost me about 1100 bucks all up and have a great rig

lol hope your not running this all the time lolz ok first up your voltage to 1.3 then your multiplier to 16 and that will clock you too 3.2ghz if your aiming for 4ghz you will need a multiplier of 20 but your gonna want to do it in small increments at a time but firstly do you have watercooling coz atm from your screen dump i havent seen a pc running those specs in over 15 years lol
