Getting hotter in temp!

[robinhung]

XP1800 OC @2000, using AX7 with AC3. I have 35 C at first, but after a month, it is getting hotter. Now it is running at 43 C, and the room temp is getting cooler than b4.

Your ac3 may be drying up on you...may want to check...

AC3 with my p4 was higher at first and then dropped 2c over 3 days then has been stable there for 4 months...I do believe that stuff dries up though I am not certain on that frequency...

has you fan gotten dusty? it doesnt take long for that to happen and that might affect your temps.

you might want to check your FAN...

my temps started rising after 3 months..
and it turns out that my FAN was covered with dust.. oh and clean your HSF as well...
and a fresh layer of thermal paste wouldn't hurt
