I stumbled around trying to come up w/a subject line that wasn't 30 words long...hopefully someone's reading this.
My 1Gig TBird is running at 1155 right now (11 x 105) at 1.82 volts. (The voltage step that's one click lower than the max of 1.85).
Under heavy load, like playing UT, I've hit 52C. Interestingly enough, when running Prime95 for 12 hours the temp never goes above 45C. Anyway, immediately after closing down UT (or other CPU intensive application), idle temp drops to a nice 32-33C. While surfing the net, or word processing, CPU temp is around 40-43C.
I'm curious if my "high" temps are due to the voltage being upped so high. I've been thinking about dropping back down to a 10.5 multiplier, because my CPU will run at 10.5 at the stock 1.725 voltage. I guess this is kind of an opinion poll, but I didn't want to start a "proper poll". Thanks in advance for your replies/opinions.
I posted this in the General Hardware forum....and then remembered that there was an Overclocking Forum..duh, my bad. I appreciate your answers, though!
