My First Overclock

Any good?

I'm using a freezer 7 and the temps under load hit around 48 degrees. Is that too high?

....Hang on a minute, thats not reading right.

Speed is 3.4ghz / 425 FSB / Ram 850 mhz

48c is absolutly fine, your good upto 65c under full load.

Go into your Bios and sisable the EIST function/Intel Speedstep which is slowing down your CPU speed as shown in CPUz.

I've now done this but CPUZ still shows the same speed :confused:

C1E, speedstep and virtualisation need disabling

w00t!

This good for this core? Also, should the idle/load temperatures be so low? (24/48)

Those temps are very low considering the voltage going through the chip.

Check with Coretemp as well as Intel TAT. Bear in mind that some board report lower temps whilst others report higher temps. None are really 100% accurate.

I checked the temperatures in speedfan too which were actually 3 degrees lower :eek:

That's pretty good.
