    e6600 stock speed stock heatsink temps

    I have an e6550 and It's OC'ed to 2.6 from 2.3. Nothing big on the stock cooler... My idle temps are fairly low... mid to low 30's... full load I've seen a high of 60*C Depending on room temp. I do have a Antec 900 with a 120mm fan blowing from the front to the CPU and the 200mm exhaust fan...

    Zotac 8800GT AMP edition running too hot?

    Sorry I meant 90*F haha But, my 9600gt does not under clock at idle... Checked it with riva tuner and some other apps. Mine is how ever an over clocked edition as well... I do like my idle temps and even load temps, nothing above 45ish *C

    Zotac 8800GT AMP edition running too hot?

    Yeah, I knew it was more powerful, but didn't think that it would make that much heat. I just like seeing low numbers. My FX card doesn't see anymore than 45*C underload. It was seeing 67*C at one point... but it was probably at least like 90*C in the room... haha Thanks, I just wasn't sure...

    Zotac 8800GT AMP edition running too hot?

    Well, I just built a system for my friend an I noticed that the card runs pretty warm in comparison to my Palit 9600gt Sonic Edition. His idles around 50*C mine sits in the 30's. I know it's a single slot cooler but would it make that much of a difference. We both have a 120mm fan on the 2 cards...

    Is this correct?

    So, in AMD systems or maybe in my old nforce 2. It was directly connected? or at least it seemed easier to do. Just bump up the FSB and bam that's it. OR was that because it was ddr1?

    Is this correct?

    Hmm. I dunno. I'm still confused for some reason. If it says bus at 333 and is quad pumped so its 1333 FSB, right? Then the ram says 400 shouldn't it be on sync? ?I'm getting back into computers and my last system was basic as far as overclocking. AthlonXP3200+ on an Asus nforce 2... talk about...
