OC 4Ghz at very low temperature

Here is my 4Ghz overclock today with a very low temperature:

Not going to say what cooler you use?

I'm not sure if you've realized this or not, temperatures depend heavily on ambient. If it's cold in the room your temperatures will be a lot better than if its hot.

Room temp is 25C that time, I did overclock it. All windows is closed.

is HT enabled?

bulldog147 · 9 Sep 2009 at 18:28

Yes HT is enabled. See the picture as it showing 8 threading.

Well, if it's the same cooler you were using an hour later it's a Megahalems.

Or am I wrong again?

Yes same cooler. It a megahalems. But a brand new MX-3 thermal paste and added new fans. 4 x Apache fans in the case.

I spend waaaay too much time on here these days.

Looking at the GPU temp I would imagine the Ambient is lower than 25c. You've got a GTX285 haven't you Bulldog.

No, it not geforce gtx285. It a geforce gtx260. The room temp is 25C as I did measure the temp by my own infrared temperature gun.

Hah!
Great idea, I could fit my tower in my beer fridge which is near to my desk (for strategic fast access reasons, obviously).It'll cost me a fortune in electricity though as my fridge tries to keep the temp low.
Suppose it'd just be cheaper to buy better or use water cooling.

How did you apply the MX-3?

How did you lose the extra 4c from before ? You still using my OC settings or have you improved them.

A very thin layer spread on the cpu chipset and again on the cpu heatsink.

I had improve them. Because the last post today I made a thread was deleted from ocuk (don't know why) and I had explain everything on it this afternoon. I hope someone got a copy of it and post here. I getting tired and fed up of re-written all over again.

Before I use 2 x apache fans as a push pull but now I had add extra 2 more apache fans to replaced the back rear of antec 1200 fans. Next week I am going to get 3 more extra apache fans to be fitted at the front side of my case to replaced antec 1200 fans at the front, so I will have 7 x apache fans in the case - will result in a very good airflow. I had also rotate clockwise on my cpu cooler facing to the rear fans instead of facing upwards to the big exhaust fan 240mm that reduce my graphic card and north bridge temperature by moving the graphic card to the next slot.

66°C Prime Small FFTs load on a 4GHz i7 is good!

Any chance you can include HWMonitor in your future screenshots as it provides readouts of all the temps and kinda shows if your system is indoors or outdoors!

Will do that next time. But mind you, it not a small FFTs load, it using a blend test.
