Okay guys, if any of you remember at christmas i bought a 2.8gig p4 chip and pc and no matter how many bios settings I changed the clock couldnt get past 2.5ghz. I still have that problem, the multiplier is fixed at 12, the ram is 2500(166 max) nd the only real controls i have is over ratio fsb to cpu.
If any of you can help with that thatl be great - in the meantime can anyone tell me why an underclocked 2.8gig chip is breaching 90 degrees? It doesnt do much work it idles most of the time, I dont play games too often but the temps are incredibly high, im just wondering if this is normal, oh and by the way I have an antec 380w psu, a hard disk cooler, 2 case fans, a copper base p4 cooler and obviously my gfx card has a fan too - that totals 7 (hd cooler has 2) so do i need more? Im purchasing a new case in 2 weeks so let me know if i need anything else to go with it.
Cheers
Kris
