New E8400 clock reads 2.0GHz....

god i'm getting like 42°C idle temps.... is that really bad for intel? i used to get like 32 on my opty with my zalman 9500. I'm using the stock HS/f because i don't have the LGA775 mounts .

it isnt correct. I dotn think any of the sensors are accurate.

I got that too, with a zalman 9500 and mX-2

I'm thinking of getting this:

Newegg.com - Tuniq T-120-LFB 120mm CPU Cooler - Retail

btw is there an intel overclocking guide somone can link me to?

people say the Tuniq is loud and hard to install, I recommend you change the fan

Scythe S-Flex anyone?

 

[nOcLuE98]

how about the TRUE. it is much better and quieter than the tuniq

 

[veg1992]

it'll cost him another $30

ahh. the speedstep team wins.

I guess I keep hanging on to the idea that people will actually read, and check that....

it isnt that. how old is your mobo?
update with new bios. my old 650i couldnt boot with anything other than a 6x multi either. check that first.

Uh hum...
