CPU Temp on XP 2600+

[Apokalipse]

temprerature gagues are not 100% accurate, some are prolly not even 50% accurate, like when Windows says 'x time left' but it ends up being completely different

There is a different processor fan on it, I bought the processor as OEM not retail, so it didn't come with one.

The Bios said it was at 88C no lie. Whether it was being accurate or not :shrug:

Pymax cooler

For what? The one that's on it works fine.

cause i could OC my old 2600+ to 2.3ghz w/ that heatsink.

Probably more to do with your board, ram, things such as that besides your heatsink....the 2600+ is stock 2.0 right? so 300MHz gain? Unless you're saying that your temps were too high to try it in the first place and that heatsink allowed the temps to come down far enough for you to OC

Well the default was 1.92 and the board is a shuttle board w/ an Nforce2 ultra400 chipset and the temp didnt change at all.
