I wouldn't try to OC any more without better cooling.

What are you using for cooling now?

Need specifications on the core revision...unless that's a Clawhammer or Newcastle your temperature is running way too hot if you ask me...AMD64 average load should be 40-50C even on stock heatsink

Zalman is good. Look at the CNPS9500

CNPS7700-CU 120mm

CNPS7000B-CU 92mm

Be sure to link to Zalman's website from each of the pages to find the comaptabilty chart for your motherboard. If your mobo ain't listed, they won't fit.

Any of the coolers I listed will pull your temps down and give you more OC overhead. Almost any after-market cooler will be an improvement on the stock cooler.

I prefer the CNPS9500, but it is taller and a little more expensive. But it looks cool as all get out.

make sure you buy some artic silver 5 which is thermal grease you put on the processor between the heatsink

What would you recommend for a claw then? I always wanted to make sure I was under 60.
