OK, let me first say hello. I am a computer novice compared to all of you, but have a great friend who is also a member here and helps me with every problem, who go me to join since I'm considering overclocking.
__________________First thing's first, I just received my Dark Knight cpu cooler yesterday, having bought it because my stock cooler was hitting 40 degrees C on idle before a cleaning, and 35 C after. It was constantly freezing when I was running multiple tasks, etc... Now, having run OCCT, my average "idle" temperature is about 22 C? Is it remotely possible for such a drop off? I have a basic Antec 300 with no mods, no extra fans... Checked BIOS, OCCT, speedfan, and core temp. Thanks!

Well it depends on what CPU you have, the details you've given us are a bit sparse.

The 720 runs extremely cool so if you have cooler ambient temperatures then yes those temps are possible.

The Truth about Temperatures and Voltages
(This is the truth regarding maximum safe temperatures and voltages) Well, I think I'm done overclocking. My system can't stay stable for more than 3 days no matter what I do. So screw it.
