Alrighty guys much work done on my CPU. Got an Asus A7v mobo, with a Tbird 900mhz, Fulltower Aopen case with an ANtec 400w PSU, 3 80mm case fans, GlobalWin FOP38 ( This thing aint loud....its manly =) with some arctic silver.....no radio shack gunk for me nosiree......and I put in one of those antec exhaust/blowers.......kind of cool =) hey its only 15 bucks why not? lol.....well anyways according to MB5 my CPU is at 29C, and according to Asus Probe its around 35C, pretty constant even under full load.....I got some PC133 Crucial Ram CAS 2 latency.....just for your info......so should I OC?

I think you are cool enough.. (I'm not cool enough to oc though... 🙁 ) I got the same chip and mobo.. and asus probe reports a cool 58c.. so I think you're well under that. I got mine with a standard cooler master whatever heatsink/fan.. you're waaaaaay under me.. I run stable.. and we are using the same thermistor (I believe) so that should be a good comparison. i'm stable at this speed.. so if you run your cpu faster and hotter.. and keep it at what temp I have.. I think you should be okay.. not that I'm an oc'ing expert or anything.. oh well.. one day.
