A Asterix Baseband Member Messages 68 May 3, 2008 #14 I'm using it right now! It's very, very, very fast. I've not seen or used a PC this fast before. I've not tried any overclocking yet. CPU temp: 28°C MB temp: 35°C Is that good?

gurusan Golden Master Messages 6,562 Location Portland, OR May 3, 2008 #15 Glad to hear you're all set up!! And yes those temps are great...but temp monitoring programs are notoriously inaccurate. The most accurate is Core Temp Also glad to hear you're satisfied with its performance. Soon you'll catch the bug though and start overclocking

A Asterix Baseband Member Messages 68 May 6, 2008 #17 I've overclocked my computer! My 2.4GHz quad core processor is running at 3.2GHz. The fans are very quiet (although not completely silent, which they were before) and the temperatures, as reported by Core Temp, are hovering around 56-61°C. I am very pleased.

Baez Admin / Dev Staff member Messages 6,990 Location Toronto, Canada May 7, 2008 #19 Try using RealTemp instead of Core Temp. Seems to be more accurate. Core Temp shows my CPU at 60 idle with watercooling while all the rest show 40C.

Yup you are wrong 60c is perfectly fine, Intel states the max Tcase temp to be 71.4C, and that's just the IHS...so the cores can get much hotter. Did you change the voltages or leave it on auto?
