it clocks! it clocks!!! but what should my temps be...

[locutus12]

ive had a venice 3000 for about 4 months now, never been able to get it above 2.2ghz due to what i thought was crappy crucial ram, so i gave up and left it on 2.18. but now ive got an X1800XT thats being mullerd by my slow CPU so off i go to try again... all yesterday, max i could get was 2.2


then someone on here mentioned i could try dropping the HT from 1000 to 800 ...


currently @ 2.39GHz i feel like a kid with a new toy

temps...


cpu internal temp 36.5oC @ idle
cpu external temp 34oC idle

anyone got any idea if thats ok??? ive still yet to figure out whats a good temp and a bad temp for the 939 platform

put your ram on a divider and drop the htt multi to 3x

multi is locked but ram was already on a divider


temps under load are 44oC might be able to get that lower, have some AS2 i could replace the standard goup with. also my case is open at present. temps drop when i shut it.

oh, sorry hehe, thought you were talking about th CPU multi, to be honest im not sure ive got an option to alter my HTT multi

Asrock 939 dual sata2, with a bios written in pigeon english

800htt will get u to about 250fsb, 600htt will get you from 250-300+

thanks chopchop gotta change my bios though, the standard one has a fsb lock of 275. currently at 265.
