Cheers. I increased it from 1.2 to 1.23125 and its been running for 20 mins now, so far so good.

 

[kingshaun2k]

Hottest temps so far are:- 68c 65c 65c 65c and its ran 10 / 20 so far. Is that ok?

 

[kingshaun2k]

So your saying i should maybe run it longer than 20 runs of linx next time if this one passes? Should i run prime 95 overnight maybe?

 

[kingshaun2k]

Thanks for the tips so far

 

[kingshaun2k]

Well it.passed 20 runs of LinX without fail so i'll try it using all the memory then give Prime95 a good run and see how it all goes! If they dont go over 70 do you think i should try to hit 3.9Ghz or 4.0Ghz+

Ran it for a second time using all memory and its passed again. Max temps were 62c 60c 63c and 62c. Might try for 4Ghz at the weekend if i get time.
