Overclocking my E4500

[manic111]

Im overclocking an E4500 following the stickied instructions on a P35C-DS3R with the stock cooling. Upping the FSB to around 220 brings massive temp gains, even if I dont touch the voltage-at stock it hits 60 under load, OCed to about 2.5ghz it hits 70, possibly higher (I havent let it go that far!).

I assume that this is down to the CPU fan, but do you have any other advice for me? Im upgrading the CPU fan ASAP to a Freezer 7. Is there anything else I may be doing wrong?

Is the heatsink/fan seated right?
The fan may not be running fast enough you may need to set the following in the BIOS:
PC Health status screen - Set smart fan control method to Legacy - Set theSmart fan control to PWN.

Hope this helps

That didnt help. However, I am wondering if speedfan and coretemp are both giving me wrong readings. I found this post on another forum:


"But theres one problem. At stock vcore and clocks I get 48c under load, now at 1.336 vcore and 3.33ghz as soon as I hit start on orthos (small FFT) it spiked to 72c INSTANTLY and sat there (TAT spiked to 77c and stayed there), I reseated twice and made sure the AS5 is applied properly, everything seems ok. Soon as I stop orthos it will drop to 34c instantly (and literally the same second). I know my thermal spec is 73c but wow it shoulden't rise THAT fast with that vcore.. and it worries me or could this be a bug? Core temp, speedfan, everest all read the same temps. Over time it seemed to have dropped a few degrees as it's now at 68c as I speak and holding, which is still hot. Can anyone shed some light on this strange temp? (forgot to mention ambients are 23c)"


He is also using an E4500 on a different mobo. Im not upping the vcore, but could this explain these? My temps also rocket within a second of starting Orthos/TAT etc.

When I use Orthos on stock temps jump a little and then rise slowly. This guy found that everest gave him reliable readings, but for some reason I cant get it to work properly with my computer!
