keep an eye on temps while in bios as i dont want to melt my chip. also does everybody run 1.45 volts to get a 3ghz over clock.

I don't think its possible to melt a chip?. Depending which mobo you have it should have a BIOS page called 'PC Health' or similar, you should find your temps in there.

Which CPU are you running?

There should be a health section in the Bios which shows you the CPU temp.

It won't get hot though because its not under load, you need a monitoring program such as Speedfan.

1.45 volts Hmm ? Well, it depends what chip your using.

I had to use 1.6 volts to get my single core 3700 San Diego stable at 2805 Mhz but my X2 4400 only needs 1.55 volts to be stable at 2805.

running a 6300 on a ds4

I thought the new intels stopped you from melting the chips by throttling (unless you turn throttling off in the bios).
