hi guys, first time oc my i7, and the temp somehow scares me

getting 3.7Ghz for 186bclk x 20 at 1.312v. idling at 50+ temp. is this ok? the temp isn't very sweet for me.

i tried running prime95 but the temp reaches 100degree occasionally wth!

1.312v, sometimes went up to 1.32. noob v8!

thanx. ^^ my casing kinda dusty, does that affect alot?

Added on November 7, 2010, 1:15 am1.30v for 3.4GHz, x19 multiplier with bclk 180. i guess that's the limit. wtf!

max of 85 degree for prime95. let's see if this will go well the whole nite...

last nite fiddled around again, and i got this... 1.224v for 3.9GHz. tried 1.215v but prime95 shows error, and system restart shortly after that.

bclk 188 with 21 multiplier, running on 1.224v. prime max temp reaches 91 last nite. but the temp was quite ok i think, average 85.

hmm... should i upgrade my cooler? the new super mega looks extremely delicious if fitted with a pair of silverstone fans.

hope can bring down the load temp to around 60+

do you think max load with 80 degree achievable? my v8 max getting 95 degree, but average at 85~90.

hmm... 5c... doesn't sound like a good investment for rm300+. maybe i'll just get my lazy ass up and clean my dusty rig.

don wan lar... water cooling very mafan... need to constantly monitor the reservoir, and scare of water leaking. and if upgrade, wan drain water again...
