That sounds normal to me! I'm running at a simular Vcore with the same CPU and heatsink--and with temps that are simular. The Core2Duo gets hot when it's busy, temps in the 60's are FINE. When you stop heavy processing the cores cool off very quickly, hence the drop down into the 20's. If you bring some fresh air into the case from the top front you'll see your temps drop down a few degrees, but that's really not critical.Originally posted by: suckysocki have scythe ninja rev.b,e4300 and either i'm doing something wrong or ninja does. @3ghz/1.4 vcore at orthos burn my temperatues in coretemp go as high as 65C.when i press the stop button temperatures fall down to 24C in few secs. I have 80mm intake fan@800rpm, stock fan on ninja@1200rpms and 80mm outtake fan@800rpm.
I'm using stock thermal paste that comes with ninja,the hs is sitting tight. The amount of paste applied is thin like paper. Any ideas?
Yeah, but remember that at 425 you're on a whole new strap with crappy memory timings (~25% memory performance drop). Drop down to 424 for a huge performance boost, albeit you may have stability problems since you're pushing the envelope at that speed. Check out the memtest results below:Originally posted by: Core2

Try 425 when you get a chance
I don't think it's the board that's the problem. Your Vcore is only at 1.325v! Many people here are running at 1.4v or more to achieve higher speeds.Originally posted by: nitrotg
I was thinking about trading this board to a P5B Deluxe.. whould that be a stupid move? cant get it over 1500fsb so either i should wait and hope theres comes a better bios or just trade it in :/

Guys, I wonder if someone can take photos of an Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 7 installed and post it here. I worry that it won't seat properly.

Thanks. Is it better to have the airflow towards the psu or should I turn it another 90 degrees to blow out from the case.

To be absolutely sure, you have to cut the plastic on one corner otherwise it sits right on top of the northbridge heatsink. You also need to bend the fins upward a little at the same corner. After that is done, it clears the northbridge heatsink and sits properly

Hey Core2,
I have finally got a heatsink on my sb and a fan on the nb. I am ready to start overclocking. I tried to follow the steps on page 92 but am not sure how to get my FSB at 400 using the 8 multiplier. The settings for the FSB show that 533 is the lowest I can set it. Need help getting over 3Ghz.

Ok, that is what I was missing. Thanks. I am curious what is the highest someone with the E6600 chip was able to go up to using air cooling and stable.

Still deciding on case and PSU.
Will this RAM work with this board. I am not planning to overclock. I have read for HOURS here, and seems some say it works, others no.
I just want STOCK speed and stable DDR2

What happened???? Did you give up on the P5N-E SLI. To be honest the commando looks to be a better board then the P5B Deluxe and they seem to have better bios support. Even the Striker is finally getting the bios they needed. I still love mine P5B. Some people have had a lot of problems with them.

This board gave me too much headache (which I have more than enough at work...)
Anyway, I've been thinking that I would use this CPU on P5B-Dlx board .. At least I know for sure that I can get 3.7Ghz there ... and swap E6400 to this board ....
Oh well, so lazy now ... maybe next month ... perhaps ..
