Ok, try my method first la bro.

It's worth a shot.

Make it as 400X8 @ Stock Vcore, dont adjust anything on the Vcore.

FSB set at 400MHz
Multiplier set at 8 [Yes, decrease it ]

My e6600 ES is also quite hard in overclocking when i set the multiplier to 9

Wow, shawnty upgrade to c2d already? what happened to your 930d?

Sold long time d.

Hey, we're going far out of the topic d.
Let's stick back to the topic title shall we?

And bro cablesguy, let's continue our discussion on overclocking your C2D in here:

im using btvx. do u think this hsf can result this?

Shouldn't be.

Unless if you're using in a freaking cool air conditioned room with a 2HP air conditioner.

But if you're using in a normal room without any air conditioner, that means your motherboard sensor chip should have bugs in it.

i'm newbie here, just started to monitor my hardware temps.
here's my pc details

casing: CoolerMaster Centurion 5 with stock fans
hsf: amd stock fan
cpu: amd x2 3600+
mobo: asus m2npv-mx
hdd: WD250, WD80, WD40(no sensor)

used to placed my WD40 & WD80 & WD250 at hdd rack, and the temp goes up to 50c
now i replaced my WD250 at cd rack, its temp lower abit to 40-44c

current temps
mobo: 47c
CPU: 41c
WD250: 44c
WD80: 40c


are those temp normal?
or any recommendation casing fans to replace the current stock fans?
and how to tell when's idle temp? idle temp = temp after boot up?

thanks

yes ur temps are about normal however, did u replace the stock thermal paste on the hsf?

You can take the idle temp after you boot up your PC and leave it there without open any program for about 30 minutes...

Your hdd temp is consider ok but my suggestion is try to keep it lower than 40C for idle (or even with little load (10-50%))... just my opinion lar...others may say different...

AMD Athlon Barton 2800++
Stock cooler
Temp Idle at 55 deg Celcius

Is this normal or is the cooler undersized

Looks abnormal to me... Though, Barton is a 'hot' processor. It shouldnt be at 55'c idle. try to clean your stock cooler and reapply the TIM.

this is way too hot even with the stock hsf.
probally needs some new thermal place, and clean the fan of the hsf.
dust is a pain.

whats mobo you using? Asus board particularly have annoying vdroop (Like mine) even u set 1.3875 the real vcore is just 1.3+ (my case, vdroop 0.7-0.8)

so take that in mind

which ASUS mobo are u using ??

If u mean me , refer to my sig The vdroop and I dont dare to do the vdroop mod pencil

using asus commando, dont know why but tune back to stock and all settings at auto now and coretemps reporting 40-42c idle, with tuniq tower and fan @ 1800rpm+-, is that normal? coz iinm previously using btvx i get idle around 38c at stock....was expecting more frm the tuniq

nope, i didn't replace

alrite. but how to keep lower than 40c?
change stock fan?

it depend on the airflow of ur case .and how close are the two HDD's ...

if u would have a 12cm fan blowing 45cfm through the HDDs .. it should keep it below 40c...

You mention in above that you change your WD250 to CDROM bay there, mean now you have only 2 hdd in the hdd bay there right? Then in front of your casing have an intake fan to blow toward your hdd bay right? Change the fan might help to lower the temp a bit...then for your WD250, you can either put another fan there or you can try to get hdd cooler. If you can have both will be even better...

just want to ask, if the temp is abnormal..any problem if left it there?

So on, my bro pc (pentium D 3.0ghz idle is 55.after wait 2 min, it rise to 62.I check in the bios setup there.The highest temp is 75 degree if left it there whole day.(The casing is open side, and no fan cooler inside) currently, he use already 1.5 yr..nothing problem so far..
