I'm using Artic Silver 5. I think mobo causes it but not sure.. or perhaps it's my ambient temp which is 25c now!

It's your ambient. Only reason I get so low temps is because my basement is like 18 degrees ambient. Even lowerso at night when I open a window.

What you guys think, if i get over 62c (which is chip's "max") under 100% stress, it should be ok cause there's no change of getting so high temps with gaming or "normal" stressing? And i always stress entire system, cause my gfxcard's effect cpu temp's also (furmark and occt stressing at the same time).

can i do 100 run of intel burntest to check stability?

Finnaly :-D

Slappa:but your chips is a bit better, or your motherboard

. I broked 1M 16.6s, but was totally unstable at superpi and then i had blackscreen

Damn, i should definitely get my ambient temp lower, now 28c ;D Still, fully stable with CPU @ 3640MHz with 1.4125v and NB @ 2704 with 1.4v! How many of those frontpages overclocks are 24/7 and done with normal ambient temp(20-25c)?? I believe i can hit 4GHz anyday if i just open my balcony's door at evening and give it a little fresh air!

But now i'm looking for 24/7 oc. Still testing which way is better for my chip, raising fsb or multi.

i have here 26 C

and watch a one up

. Stable at 3885/2730MHz NB, but 32 bit system, not 64...In 64 bit its harder, i tried not here max stability (i have to second Win 7 64bit)

Even if you are below max, having a higher temp can hinder your ability to clock higher and be stable. Lowest temperature is always the best for these chips.

A 4 degree difference from opening my window allowed me to gain a max clockspeed 50MHz higher, and to run superpi 1m at 100MHz higher than normal.

Great job. I don't believe my chip is that much better, its because I had ambients of 15-17C when doing those last runs and the chip was about 25-27C idle. With 1m running they shot up to 34-36C

Yep, temp helps a lot.

There is no real way to tell ambients for all the front page ones unless I made everyone on the chart post their room temps.

Perhaps i should try another thermalpaste, now im using Arctic Silver 5 but i think Noctua's NT-H1 worked better for me. Too bad that i've used it all which came with cpu cooler. Weird thing that when i had 720BE, i had to use 1.55v for 3600 but temps were mac 45, now this 955 gets almost 60 with just 1.4v!

Yeah I think you needa reseat your cooler.
