Roguestar, I'm now using TAT for the readings. thx. I can't trust speedfan
FightTest, I disabled the SmartFAN in the bios and now my temps are 40C and 39C at idle and 50C running orthos. This is better, but I can really hear the fan now.
thanks guys
I reset my BIOS and only changed the FSB and memory multiplier to get it to 2.8 at 400FSB 1:1.
Now my Idle temps are 46C at 1.16v. I think its because I left whatever is throttling my voltage on this time.
Running orthos, 57C at 1.296v
I guess next thing to do is reapply thermal paste...
I'm running orthos under load as well.
Ok I followed someones advice and used Intel TAT.
At idle it reads:
54C and 53C
under Orthos, it reads:
58C and 57C
Really confused which reading to believe. I've already knocked down vcore to 1.316v
Ok i went into BIOS and looked at the temp
41C this must be idle
I use speedfan and checked the readings:
temp1: 41C
temp2: 42C
running orthos
temp1: 41C
temp2: 53C
this seems more realistic to me and matches bios readings. Whats up with Core Temp? it says 53C at idle 58C at load
My first overclock ever. Using E6300 overclock to 2.8Ghz
My temps are
54C idle
60C full load
Are these normal? If so, I'll push it a little higher.
Thanks
System spec:
Intel E6300
Gigabyte 965P-S3
OCZ PC2-6400 800MHz 5-5-5-12
Arctic Cooling freezer 7
Antec Sonata II 450W...
Can someone list the problems with the P5B vanilla? Maybe I can live with it.
I was thinking of exchanging it for the Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 as it is almost the same price and near identical to the GA-965P-DS3.
Thanks
Thanks Regalk
I was trying to put a budget system together with some OCing head room. This is what I had to work with:
(all CAD prices)
Asus P5B (not deluxe) - $139
Intel E6300 - $215
OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-12 - $248
EVGA E-GEFORCE 7950 GT PCI-E 550MHZ 256MB...
Hey guys,
I've recently bought a system (haven't received it yet) and I wanted to know what I should able to achieve in terms of OC. Very new at this.
