Ok, i dont have my rig overclocked at all. just unlocked the extra 2 cores. with cool n quiet enabled, hwmonitor says 57.40 watts at idle but with load it shoots up to 170 watts. thats with cpu voltage at 1.36V. no stock HS! I have a cooler master hyper 212 plus on my cpu
Thats good to know! thanks for the info. my temps right now with the hyper 212 on the chip is like 38c idle and gets around 50c with load. my comp sits under my desk and it is pretty warm in my room as im typeing this.
The friend is me : ) thanks for the replys. i have my vcore set at 1.36V and have all cores unlocked (tested with prime95 for over 5 hours with no errors). just worried that my wattage went from 85 watts dual core to 170 watts quad core when unlocked.
i got the same MB and CPU as you ... minus the PSU and probaly the ram but i have no problems with mine with unlocking...... im thinking your problem is your psu. i have a 600 watt ocz psu. 400 is kinda on the low side. and yes, i know im posting on a thread thats over a month old lol
