I bought the gigabyte ds3, the e6400, and 2 gb of the patriot ram found here.
My first question, I have been reading a lot about overclocking and while I was messing with it, I noticed the pc will just start rebooting over and over until it becomes stable again. I know this is a feature of gigabyte but my question is, am I doing something wrong? Or should this be disabled? I assume it would try and use the "safest" settings rather than the fastest but I don't want to disable this if OCing is safer and do-able with this on (assuming I can disable it, haven't looked)
Second, my temps. In the bios the cpu temp is somewhere around 42. However, in windows when using core-temp, the temps are around 52. Is this normal? That seems like a huge difference. Which one should I trust? I am using just the stock fan.
Finally and maybe least importantly, I downloaded easytune5, installed it, rebooted, but when I double click on it, I get the hourglass for a second then nothing. It never loads. Any ideas?
And lastly I will throw this out here, if there are any OCing gurus who have the same board I do that wouldn't mind helping me through pms with some step by step help that would be great. I've read a lot about OCing but there are always differences which confuse me between boards.
Thanks.
