lol I said my cpu temp at it's stock cpu setting and not oc because oc got a bit higher temp...
Planning to oc?What mobo you are using?Brand and model.

Duhh nvm my mobo

Intel DH55PJ Classic Series

You can't oc an Intel budget motherboard

aduhh . nvm . . . thx anyway

How much does your Intel Mobo cost?Because I bought my Gigabyte for only Rm260 and that was in Feb 2010...And my mobo can OC and just wondering how does Intel mobo perform and does it have any special feature?Never seen or tried one before...

Well,honestly there are nothing special with Intel board with some notable exception(EG:Extreme Series line up)
Their board are bare,no BIOS tweaking option,no OC option,unattractive colour scheme
This apply to their normal line up
According to my experience,their P965 board RMA rate is quite high

Owh...Maybe they board are just some reference for other board manufacturer...why so many RMA low quality????

AFAIK,Intel don't make their own motherboard
At least the low end budget one anyway
Maybe some QA issue or cost cutting stuff but i can't confirm here

Gigabyte/Asus/MSI>Intel in term of motherboard

Hi guys. Recently got interesting into OC-ing. I'm currently using me below rig. Can someone instruct me on where to start and how to OC? And is it possible for my rig to OC? Thanks

read this first, http://www.overclock.net/amd-general/91-ul...king-guide.html
very important, make sure you read everything carefully and remember it once you 'click' in, it is very addictive.

your rig is a HP one right? I think the BIOS is all locked up.

Yeahh. And my mobo is a H57. I just found out

Mind to know what your guys idle and load for original cooler for i3-530?Thanks

My temp with my stock cpu cooler use to be 30-35c idle depends on ambient temp.But now I'm using CM 212+ idle 25-28c and full load using linX 65c if OC 4.5GHz idle 30-32c and full load using linX 83-95c

stock so cool?Mine 45-47...for stock.

4.5Ghz? Is it stable at full load. What mobo you used?

I tested using linx 500times and no error but temp to high up to 95c.My cpu cooler can't cool it I use CM212+ only

My Mobo Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H Rev1.0

It is normal to see abnormally high temperature for Linx stress test run
This is normal cause Linx stress your processor much more then your day to day application will hence the extremely high temperature
And 9x C is still ok as long as the temperature hover around there and does not shoot up

I OC my Core i3 to 4.3Ghz but tested with Linx I got an error. Any idea what should I do.

Update your mobo bios to the latest and if can post your mobo type and your OC settings.

Did. Btw OC setting? What information needed
