your temps are awefully high. When I had my 4400x2 air cooled on a Zalman CNPS9500 I was able to clock it to 2.86ghz and temps never were above 55c or so. This was on 1.5vcore if I remember correctly.
ok i went into bios and i cant see anything to do with overclocking? the fsb/vcore that people mention isnt anywhere to be seen?
yeah i can get a screen that says amd x2 blah blah my cpu speed and how much ram i have, nothing can be changed or edited on this screen thoughno, it probably doesnt say "overclocking" just like that.
do you have anything that says "cpu clock...clock speed....ext. cpu clock....anything that tells you the stock speed of your cpu? (which should be 200 mhz).
well my case does have horrible airflow right now, wires are a mess (recently redid pc)
but... I replaced the stock 120mm 1200 RPM fan on the ninja heatsink with an antec tricool (I had one lying around) set on high it reachs 2100 RPM and lowers the idle temp 1-3 degrees, so I guess I can up the voltage slightly and underclock the ram to get to 2.7 or 2.75
set on high, the tricool got me 59 max temperature which is a 7 degree decrease off the stock fan, however... its a bit too loud for my tastes so I'm going to try the medium settings
1600 RPM on the medium setting, 63 max temperature, so a 3 degree decrease off the stock fan, decent looks like I can overclock a tiny bit more
