| 509365 | 2006-12-25 03:39:00 | Hi, i am new to this temperature thing so i was wondering if my cpu temperature is ok at idle i run at around 35c-40c. while playing games i run at 51c. i have a intel core 2 duo E6600 2.4Ghz processor, and i overclocked it to 2.54ghz. are my temperatures ok or do i need to un-overclock ???. Please respond to me and tell me if my temperatures are either to hot or if they are just fine. P.S. -- i was also playing Quake 4 and my comp. froze up, i dont know if it got overheated or not but it did it to me twice. i also was running another computer right next to me so i wonder if that was the prob. i have an 8800gts BTW. |

Mine runs at Core Temps at about the same on my 6700 and they are fine. |

| 509367 | 2006-12-25 05:20:00 | im using the default program that came with it called "abit uGuru" i have a abit aw9d max motherboard. i had to drop down the overclock and now it runs fine but when i had it over clocked it like froze the games i was playing "quake 4"... but the thing is i only had it over clacked to 2.54 ghz and its a 2.4 ghz processor, i dont know lol im new to the whole overclocking thing. so i dont know if 140mhz overclock realy does make a difference in the heat. thank you tho for responding. if you know anymore information plz help me out. |

| 509368 | 2006-12-25 06:06:00 | Your CPU temperature looks alright (assuming the temperatures monitored are accurate enough). It is hard to say if it is the CPU temperature or other things stopped you from playing games. An additional 140MHz may increase CPU temperature by a little, but most CPU's have the ability to go a little higher than marked. It is unlikely that you will notice a difference in games with that 140HMz anyway. | developer (4447) | ||
| 509369 | 2006-12-25 06:23:00 | So if i kept my overclock to 140mhz over normal it wont hurt my CPU? and if some odd reason it is over heating, which cooling system should i invest in? by the way thank you for your replies, im kinda new to this hehe. :) |

There is a program that will read the actual registers off the chip. The article that tells you more about it is here www.overclockers.com Thats the one I use for mine and is suppose to give accurate results as there is no analouge to digital change. |

| 509372 | 2006-12-25 10:26:00 | A little of over clocking is unlikely to hurt your computer, because the computer will hang / beep / restart etc when the CPU becomes too hot. However, even if your computer seem to be working alright when over clocked, you still need to make sure it is stable, especially when having heavy computation loads. If you really need that additional performance, I suggest you to run some system tests, just to make sure your computer is in a stable condition, before putting it into work or other things. | developer (4447) | ||
| 509373 | 2006-12-25 10:45:00 | Overclocking the CPU also increases the speed of the RAM. See in my sig - I overclocked my Pnetium D 3.00GHz to 3.22GHz, which in turn makes my 533MHx RAM to 575MHz. Anything higher than that and the RAM won't take it and will refuse to boot at all. Maybe you have a cheapo RAM like mine? |
