Core temp has been reading 50-60idle @ stock speeds. and 64-65 on full load after overclocking from 1.86ghz to 2.3ghz.
So i was advised to re check the cpu cooler. I have just taken off the cpu cooler, checked it was seated correctly on the cpu (Which it was) and replaced it. One thing I did notice is that when i turn on the pc, the cpu fan does not start up for like a minute then it kicks in. Is this normal? i take it that it waits for some heat before turning on? Also i tried plugging the heatsink into the system fan slot on the mobo instead of the cpu fan slot, it then rips into life straight away and is spinning really quickly, the only prob is, is that it will be too loud if i left it linked to the system fan slot on the mobo permentally.
Ive just read the heatsink instructions and it says the following: "All of our socket 775 coolers come with a PWM controller chip in the motor (4pin connector) according to intels specification. This alows the bios to control the fan precisely. In case the fan speed is not regualted according to the cpu load respectively temperature, enter the bios. Most socket 775 mainboards offer a CPU target temperature. Set it to 65oc, which means that the bios tries to keep the cpu around 65oc and thus lowers the fan speed as much as possible" So my cpu reading around 65 on full load with orthos would be correct if this is the case?
my bios settings say that the system temp is 39 and the cpu temp is 45-46 with the cpu fan speed changing inbetween 1100-1200rpm. So how come the bios reads 45-46 yet coretemp reads 60-62?? Also in the program speed fan what do the 3 temp readings refer to? temp 1 is 38 temp 2 kept at 45 and temp 3 is -2.
NowI have the bios settings at:System Memory Multiplier "2", Cpu host frequency "333mhz", which ='s mem Frequency running at "667mhz". Now someone told me to loosen the ram timings to 5-5-5-15 and change the VDimm to +3. They lost me abit there..
In the bios settings System memory multiplier is the only ram relevent settings i can see, and these are set to 2, which results in the memory frequency being 667mhz (The correct value for pc5300?) If i set the memory multiplier to anything above 2, then the memory frequency goes above the 667mhz mark, should this be done? can you go above the stock mhz with regards to ram? If you can then this will mean i can happily up the cpu host frequency from 333mhz to say 370mhz and not worry that the ram mhz will be over the stock 667mhz.
Hardware specs should you need them: Conroe 1.86ghz, GeiL pc5300 2gig Ram, Gigabyte ds4 mobo, artic cooling freezer 7 pro, Thermaltake soprano case.
Quickish replies would be a great help ppl
