it's too hot in my house !?!?!!

[Soulkeeper]

i noticed that between the day and night my temps can shift up to 10c making it where speeds that are stable at night aren't in the day

at night i can hold 211fsb @ 2.2ghz
but in the day time i have trouble even holding 200fsb @ 2ghz

i'm gonna hafta use some kinda super cooling i tellya

Solution:

Set AC 24/7 on 68*F / 20*C with a 24" box fan blowing at the case.
May raise the electric bill a little but you can overclock higher.

guess i have to be happy with like 1.9 at 200fsb

And people wonder why there was a blackout?

In my opinion, if you have overclocked to a point where it crashes when the temps in your house go up, you've pushed it too far. But, that's just my opinion. My OC on my AXP 1700+ isn't fantastic, but it survived the 105 degree heatwave for 2 weeks that we had in Europe this month, and we don't have air conditioning! The case was at 44C at one point, with the processor at 52C. Still ran great, while crunching SETI 24/7.
