Here's the system setup:
Abit IP35 Mobo
e2160 M0 stepped CPU
Coolermaster Hyper TX2 CPU cooler
8800 GTS vid card
2 x 1GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800
2 x 1GB Corsair XM2 DDR2 800
Now I'm trying to figure out if what I've done is alright since it's been a while since I've OCed anything and can not tell which temperature probe is right among other things with all the conflicting information.
By Bios this is what I'm doing:
FSB: 345MHz
Multiplier: 9x
Estimated Clock: 3105MHz
DRAM Speed: DDR2-828
CPU Core Voltage: 1.4250V
DDR2 Voltage: 2.05V (mem asks to be put @ 2.0 minimum)
All other voltages remain at default.
Now while running Prime95 and CPU-Z and CoreTemp 0.96 I get the following:
CPU-Z:
Core Speed - 3105.3MHz
Core Voltage - 1.384V (under load) then 1.272V not under load speed stepped down to 2070Mhz
Core Temp:
Idle: 39C
@ Load doing Prime 95: Average 67C spikes up to 72C occasionally
Now the tj. max is listed @ 100C in CoreTemp so is this the right temperature? The system is pretty stable as it's ran Prime95 in large fft and blend for 3 hours without fail. I can't reduce the CPU voltage @ this FSB speed as the system will reboot itself. Also, keep in mind this is with a fresh application of 'artic silver ceramic' whatever that is. It's just what I had around, or is it worth going out and getting AS5?
Bottom line is if these temps are bad for the CPU? Or do I need to just take down my OC or they're just fine? From what I've been skimming it seems like it's hot but not severely so and should be ok to run like this?
