So I thought I was bad a$$ with my E6600 oc'd to 3.05.
Last night I did some video editing and put this bad boy through a minor test. My system idles between 25c to 33c and only once had it gone up to 39c. But last night during the video encoding process, temps suddenly jumped to 44c and half way through I noticed 48c. Then the screen just froze.
My question is....you guys think I need to buy a better hsf(i'm on stock cooling)? I previously believed that I didn't but after last night I may need a $60 hsf. BTW, I can't get this cpu to pass 3.05.
Anyway, I'm starting to also doubt my mb and memory. I went for a low budget system and now I'm kicking myself.
Any input is appreciated.
