After having insane temperatures with my Zerotherm BTF95 I RMA'd it and picked up Zalaman 9700... Well, need less to say, the difference in temps was huge.
Now, I finally got my system stable with what I'd say is a pretty decent OC.
Specs -
CPU: AMD Athlon 5200+ Windsor (65W)
CPU Cooler: ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
RAM:Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB(2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
It's been running Prime95+ on both cores with out a single lock up/error/BSOD. My temps are staying less then 40C under full load. Best part is the fan on the Zalaman is running at a meer 2100RPM. 😀
This is my first attempt at an OC, and only the second system I've built from scratch on my own. I had read it's best to set the HT Multi to 4, but doing so I couldn't get myself to 3.1MHz stable. So I left it at 5 and just upped the CPU Freq and Voltage until it would crash, then backed it off a smidge to where it was stable.
Does everything look to be ok? Voltages/Temp/etc? Just looking for some reassurance that I did every thing ok. 🙂
Temps/Speed/RAM
P.S. Core Temp reads about 2-3C cooler then what ASUS AI reports.
