if i'm not mistaken its 99c

99c??
80c already dangerous right?

general rule is not above 80. most ppl stop when its around mid 70's. but below 70 is better for the peace of mind.

guys sometime my screen goes black for a sec then back to normal but before it goes black a single thin black line will appear vertically across my monitor,experience it a few times already.
GC prob? or RAM? my ram setting at bios is 9-9-9-20@1.65<-(the actual ram setting stated by the manufacturer was 9-9-9-20@1.7v)
should i set the vdimm to 1.7? btw my i5 is @3.8Ghz/Vcore is 1.33
hope pros in this thread can guide me on overclocking my i5.

edit: no bsod, no auto restart, no hang apart from the thin vertical black line and screen goes black. pass 1 hour of linpack with no error,prime95 still running(about 1 hour+ already) and also OCCT.

check ur gc or monitor. i doubt its the o/c problem.

it doesnt happen anymore after i revert back to default optimize setting in bios though,my monitor is perfectly fine on other pc.
this morning i did switch my GC slot coz i realize from GPUZ it only running at x8 i dont think this is the problem..
also stressing my GC using furmark for about 5 minutes no sign of artifact and hanging up.


update: culprit found.. increase my vcore to 1.34 problem solve

Added on December 7, 2009, 9:41 amdont know if there is...

but if u wan to upgrade i recon u mean buyin a whole new pc. coz impossible u upgrade from other i5 model... coz there are non.

anyway, to answer ur question, u should not look at i5 price. u need to look for the price of ram n graphic cards. coz this two item price has gone up. almost double for ram, and 10-20% more for graphic cards especially ATI gc. I would suggest to wait for a while if u can for this price to go down.

Just buy it when you feel like
You won't get a rig if you keep waiting for price drop

I'm getting an i5 but to overclock it to around 3GHz,do I need to get another fan instead of using the stock fan provided by Intel?If yes,any recommended one?Thanks,first time building my own rig,need suggestion x.x

3ghz is quite low for i5. on default vcore ppl can easily get 3.6ghz. so i think for now if u really on budget then u can stay wit stock cooler. if the temp still consider high for u then just change to a cheap cooler like cm 212+. should be good enuf. its abt 100bucks nia...

next week aku sambar i5 + MSI P55 GD65

u can try asus p55 also... seems this is more popular

1st pic was before i reapply thermal paste,now tops at 67 when running prime95 which is still hot.
maybe coz my room very hot like those container house.
using megahalems btw.

wah.. megahalems still tht temperature ar..
