Hi Everyone,
Is it normal for this processor to reach 63 Degrees Celcius While running Orthos?
I have it overclocked from 2.6 ghz to 3.25.

Second question...........
If my stock memory timings are 5-5-5-15, What should i put them at for overclocking?

Thanks for the help,

Mike

The temperature of the CPU's cores depends on the following factors:

• Ambient temperature (the air temperature both in and outside the case).
• The CPU cooler and all design aspects related to that CPU cooler.
• The thermal compound.
• The fan speed of the CPU cooler's fan.
• The airflow inside the case (how will it dissipates the heat which is generated by the components in addition to the CPU).
• The CPU's core voltage.
• The amount of the overclock.
• The stress testing program.

But right now, all I am concerned with is this: when you say Orthos, do you mean the Small FFTs test, or the Blend test?

As for the memory, that can depend too. But I'll leave that for somebody who knows better. I don't really feel confident that I know how to answer that.

Edit: I found your motherboard on Newegg (I like their product pages). Based on what I see here, I would say that overclocking will be limited.
