My system does post at 3.8ghz, but that's when i set the voltage to 1.6, and even then it's unstable. I have cheap ram (mushkin value ddr2 533) and a fairly decent motherboard (gigabyte ga-8n-sli). Is the 3.6ghz
wall due to an unlucky processor? Can I do anything to increase system stability @ 3.8ghz with less than 1.6v to the cpu?
Second question: I have a thermaltake big typhoon slapped onto my cpu. My idle temps are usually 38-42 degrees and the highest I have ever seen it go was 62 degrees. Is there anything I can do to reduce temps? I live in southern california where it is often hot. Are these temperatures typical for my climate?
