Hi.
system= ga k8n sli pro,1gb geil 400mhz ram,8800gtx bfg oc1.
Just installed a sythe infinity and overclocked my x2 4400 to 2.4ghz with 1.5v and it is still running as hot as my stock cooler in orthos (59-60 degrees)
ran orthos for half an hour and ran all through 3dmark 06 (nice 500 marks extra by the way ) all fine. I am just worried about the heat, especially as i want to go to 2.6?
shall i let it go over 60? bearing in mind come june the 22nd and the intel price cuts i will get a new mobo,cpu and ram so im not worried if it will decrease the life expectancy of it. I just don't want it to die completely on me.
Also i would like to know why the scythe hasnt made any difference? thermal paste need to settle perhaps?
