Thinking about switching

[1337_JohnN]

Oh man, I thought it was just a CAP@ 3.2GHz, but not because of voltage... That's lame! ._.

LoL, people probably get viruses from watching stuff they shouldn't watch.

Run CCleaner on the registry, and let it fix whatever is screwy..

Pr0n isn't the only way to get viruses though..

Alright, well I ran O&O Defrag and I am running NOD32 at the moment.

Any other suggestions while I am running this?



Also, I ordered my Q6600 in around august or even before that, I remember you (vernong) telling me the good batches were still around or something?
I'm not sure, how can I tell if I received one of the bad batches?

if you can overclock it well, you have a good one .

Bad batch?

Try overclocking to about 3.4ghz with 1.5 VCore.

Wouldn't you say thats a bit dangerous?

Hit a max of 46C Browsing the internet, so far.
Unless you don't think the temps will go up to much from 2.8 to 3.4?

Edit: 51C, NOD32 finished, no viruses.

Possibly think its really my really bad wire management?

I suggest wiring your computer better so there is more airflow, and take a air can to it, make sure everything is top notch, and it should run cooler.

Back in August it was like a 95% to 5% of Good to Bad, in September it starting going to heck

Did you try CCleaner

Tenebaum has a point. In my old case my GPU was always at 60 Degrees Celsius idle and even peaked at 90~100 some times. But after getting a bigger case with MUCH better air flow. My GPU is at 40 degrees Celsius idle now. Good airflow is beneficial if you plan to get some serious overclocks.
