Hey all, I'm just getting back into overclocking after a long haitus. These new conroes are what really got me back into it with their huge OC potential.
So I bought some super fans, slapped on a zalman cnps9500 AT to my cpu with a little artic 5. Pre-OC my full load temps under orthos are 37-39C, which I assume is good as my reading indicates that 60C is the upper limit.
My question is about my Tjunction. Core temp reports my Tjunction at a steady 85C with absolutely no variation. I read somewhere this was where the board starts throttling back to protect itself.
Is my tjunction overheating? I haven't even started an overclock yet. If it is heating, why are the 6 case fans not moving air fast enough to help it out at stock speeds? I setup the air flow pretty well I think, which should be reflected in the relatively low cpu temps.
Anyone able to shed some light on this?
