I apply 3 thin lines on each of the heat pipes, like what you did. When I remove the HSF after some time, I do notice that they are spread evenly on the surface........

I would say get the normal ballistix and the tracer would produce quite amount and heat that would lead to rma later

What do you mean by stable ? Did you do any stress testing proses ?

i got a question regarding ocing.. i dun understand y i cant even pass streesing test when i oc.. im not doing heacy oc.. OCCT,prime..all fail me.. IBT sometimes can pass.. super PI pass.. does dat mean my machine is not stable?? i just newly bought for 1months++ only.. lol

my specs, hope sifus will help..

C2D E7300 cooled by Deepcool ice balde pro, Gigabyte ep43 mobo, zotac 9600gt, 2x2gb kingston hyper X 1066mhz, cm extreme power 460watts, 80GB pata HDD (very old Hdd)

my settings are 7.5 x 400 = 3.0mhz,ram freq=533. dramcpu ratio 3:4
pcie=100mhz
vcore=1.3000v
vdimm=1.9v

i suspect is either my hdd fail me for being too old or my psu not enuff to stablise my pc.. i hope to get an answer so im not lost

either vcore too high causing too much heat, or not enuf vcore... also try set ur ram's vdimm to 2.1v instead of 1.9

vcore and vdimm is ok, i suspect its the psu - cm extreme power 460watts

get a better psu if you want to overclock.

i think so.anyone using this Psu to oc? could u suggest which psu will be suitable for my o mild oc?

The vcore and vdimm might not enough, but first thing you need to know before you start ocing is u need a good psu.

Get a decent truepower psu and from there we will start cranking the clocks slowly.

ok does dat mean even i bought a new PSU i still put my vcore=1.3000v and vdimm=1.9?
well i read enuff stuffs but this is my first time doing in on hand lor..

so basically i need is to buy a good psu and just plug in rite? maybe silverstone 500w or 550w? =)

Get a good psu first, then only we do a testing and from there we can know whether the current vcore and vdimm is sufficient or not.

Its all about a good psu and luck in overclocking.

hmm.. i did up a bit of vcore to around 1.320-1.340 v.. eventually i pass the OCCT test!

after a few failure i up my vcore lil by lil.. and now does it consider stable?

Meaning the vcore is insufficient. But i advise you to get a proper psu before going further, the psu might blow up if stressed in the long term.

YES, get a better true power PSU.
sooner or later the cap ayam PSU will eat up your system,
leaving only casing for you

seriously, grab a good PSU is the only choice for you now.

mostly the problem is come from the ram, try set to 1:1 and left the vcore at stock then u will able to stable.
although your ram rated at 1066, but due to diff strap will give u a diff PL value, it made the ram unable to stable.

so to simplify it does u mean this?
7.5x400
ram freq i tune it back to 400mhz instead of 533mhz?
vcore to stock? even i up my muti and fsb?
vdimm put how much?

@albert and uzairi..yea im planning to get 1 later lor.. now tvery tight budget..

ya, processor and dram voltage can set to stock.
most of the e7xxx can do 3ghz or more at stock vcore

vcore put stock first see how much u can clock with stock vcore.

vdimm 2v is okay i think for the mean time.

okay... i follow sifu's advise and try it now.. =)

vcore
vdimm (usually 2v is enough for 5-5-5-15)
vnb
vtt

listed according to priority..

is there any software dat can monitor my current vnb, vdimm, vtt, pll and so on?? i wanna noe wat my auto settings actually give me
