1.72V and you are only getting 2.7 GHz? Are you really sure you need 1.72V to get to 2.7GHz? That seems like too much to me. My setup is:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor (Venice) @ 2.7 GHz, stock air; 1.55V
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR
XFX GeForce 6600 GT PCI Express 128MB
Enermax EG565P-VE FMA 535W Power Supply
OCZ 2x512MB; Model #: OCZ400512WV3; 2.9V

Wow dude...
venice don't even require that much voltage.
you went way over at 2.7 Ghz lol...

My 3200+ is stable (not 100% sure, but passes prime 95) at 2.71 Ghz at 1.58v-1.63v
Idle is 48 C, Load is 60 C... This is with a k8n neo2 so we know the temps are too high.

Actually, no i didnt go over....... SuperPI would give me rounding error after rounding error when i tried anything under 1.72V, and at 2.5GHz i was getting errors at anything under 1.64V.....So im right where i should be


and Avalon, my temps are fine, the 52C is including a 5 degree leeway, so my sensor is actually telling me 47C, and i just add 5 to that to be on the safe side...... so im well within normal temps
