Quite happy with my O/C. What do you guys think?

Why does CPUZ report a different temp than the other programs? Odd?

Currently using Artic Freezer 7 Pro with Artic Silver 5.
Not bad on air?
Benched it at 71 degrees full load.
So you think this is OK?

I've got an OCZ Vindicator cooler waiting to be fitted. Do you think this will bring down my temps further than even *** Freezer 7 Pro?


Thanks in advance, any opinions appreciated

Can't offer any advice on the cooelr query, but how long you benched for?
71'C is too toasty for my liking, but we're all different.
I'm just thinking if you only bench for an hour or so, continued use may result in higher temps?

Thanks.

Raising the FSB (and clocking the ram whilst still having it at 1:1 ratio) really makes the PC feel a lot faster.

This seems to bring more benefit than raising the CPU speed on its own.
So lowering the multiplier and raising the FSB seems the best way - AND I can mabye bring my q6600 down to a decent temp (happy at 3.2Ghx i think, fans run quieter and temps are lower).
