I have slightly overclocked my cpu.I have a opti 165 and its running at 2300 mhz, not a big over clock, but a 500 mhz gain on stock.My cpu is 44c/108F on idle/desktop.When i use prime it goes up to 52c, is this ok. ? Cheers
 
I have an Artic Cooler 64 Freezer Pro. My cpu volts are at 1.425, i never lower them. Should i lower the volts. Im not good at overclocking, and i cant seem to get more out of this chip, it has the crappy stepping CCBWE 0607.I know my mate had it at 2.6ghz, but i can only do 2.3 ghz. And im using an Asus A8N32 Sli-Deluxe m/b. Cheers guys.
 
I put my cpu volts on 1.350 and its come down a little.Pc still working and very stable.Its now 42 on idle :) I just need to try and push this baby now to 2.5 ghz and bring the temps down a little.
 
Wish i could get this monkey to overclock more. How the hell do people get 300*9, i can only get 257*9 .Ive had my memory at 166,133 and 100, still freaks it out. :(
 
My cooler is facing my memory.very tight fit with just 1mm to spare between the cpu fan and the memory.Its a close call, but thats how its supposed to be fitted on this m/b. I have been told that anything under 65c once before, so im well under.All my games play well, well, the one that i have in, its only San Andreas, and i only play the multiplayer side of it for an hour at most.My room is about 30 temp so i guess thats ok. My case is a good midi case with only a geforce 7800gta bfg, and i just put in a brand new 620w enermax this morning from OC.So im all cable modular friendly :) Anyone know why my cant push my chip to 2.5 gig. Im happy with 2.3 gig, but i would love to hit that 2.5 ghz.
 
According to the instructions, my cooler is supposed to send cool air onto the memory.The fan on my cooler is only about 1mm away, which is keeping my memory cool. Also my gfx card is a fair way under the cpu and i have a special artic cooler on my gfx card which a nice exhaust port.What do i set my memory divider too, its 166 right now.I know this opti 165 is a crap stepper, but im sure most people get at least 2.6ghz out of them. Silly question, but why do i need to up the volts to 1.55v Cheers :)
 
I aint got a rear case fan , i hate the noise :( Too much downloading off edonkey at nighttime, pc in my bedroom you see. I lowered my volts to 1.350 and ran prime but it failed, so alarm went off. So i put the volts upto 1.375 and prime works ok now.My pc doesnt feel hot inside, and i know i have just got to get the right balance between the cpu/mem and this heat thing,lol. All new to me you see. I really happy though as i paid £135 off ebay for my opteron 165, so i got a real bargain.Only thing i hate about my motherboard is that asus seem to rename everything in the bios. Its so hard to understand and get to grips with, like the cpu multiplier is under FID/VID or something like that.I have used asus boards for about 8 years now and i think they are very good. I would have gone for the DFI but i dont like that crossfire stuff. Not that im knocking crossfire, i just have no hassle with my BFG 7800gtx running in full PCI-e 16 mode.Mind you, i dont run sli yet, but i may :) I know i got the worse stepping opti, but for £135, i really cant moan, and it was new :)
