Hi all, thanks for reading. I'm a bit of a noob to pc building and overclocking but recently i put together my first build and now im starting to dabble with overclocks. So far only on the CPU but im a little worried about my CPU temps maybe you can help me out and give me some advice. The setup is as follows..
Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard, X6800 CPU, Scythe Ninja HS+120mm Scythe fan, 4GB Corsair 6400 CAS3, raptor and caviar HDD's, 2 more 120mm fans in case (one as inlet and one as exhaust inline with the rear of the ninja) + 2 80mm exhausts, Hiper 580W modular PSU and ATI x1900xt-x
so stock GHz on this cpu is 2.93 and the idling temp is about 43c the following images show how the temp changes as im clocking it upwards (Bus speed changes only)
@3200MHz
@3300MHz
@3344MHz
@3400MHz
@3497MHz
I dont really know much about the temperatures and my friend told me i should post here to get some advice. So can you all let me know if what im doing is right or not? are these temps way off the chart? im worried i may not have seated the ninja properly or have too much arctic silver on there. Ive also heard that its sometimes better to lower the multi and raise the bus speed as this will help the ram to run faster too (my ram is under rated timings according to CPU-Z).
Thanks to anyone who reads and replies.
