A mate has a pre built overclocked machine (not from here...silly boy).
Its got a QX6850 running at 3.3GHz and speedfan is showing the vcore as 1.47v.....is that an acceptable voltage for these chips?
His temps are through the roof (75-80 idle and 90-96 load) and its restarted a couple of times during games and also slows down from time to time (90 fps to 30 fps in cod4) so its pretty safe to say he has a heat poblem
Its water cooled and obviously something is seriously wrong apart from voltage alone but its a starting point.
Not 100% sure on the rest of the spec but its an alienware tri-sli machine. The cards are also running hot... 90c for 2 of them and 109c for top one
but thats for another section.
Not been inside it yet as he only got it the other night and doesnt really understand there is a problem with it yet.
With temps like that on a water cooled cpu i am guessing its either poor contact after a rough ride during transit or that the pump isnt running properly.
Way outa my league here spec wise (see sig) so lookin for some advice from those more qualified
