Check out my rig, Im doing that on air but I run a tuniq tower 120 which is probably the biggest HS/fan out there. It takes up ALOT of room but it works very well.

I ran coretemp and my ti max was 85, core 0 was 80, 1 was 78. I just ran vista's rate my performance tool right before.

Running Tom Clancy's Advanced Warfighter the core temps got up to 125 C.

so the p5n-e has a big heatsink for the nb but no fan for its be green range of boards
anyone come up with something that cools better
i have a 60mm fan lying around and i might somehow mount that on to the stock heatsink
what have you got?
anything interesting?
cooling better than stock?

All I did was mount a spare 60mm to the side of my cpu fan and it cools the nb great.

I am using Vista's readyboost with flash card. Could that be why i shut down on 20% OC?

Hi guys,

this is my first post. I am a Scotland based 3D visualizer. I'm looking for some advice on overclocking my system for improved render times. I use 3D Max and Vray and have my system up and running pretty much 24/7. A lot of the time the cores are working 100%, rendering through the night. Im looking for improved efficiency for my render times without sacrificing system stability. the holy grail probably? Im not a total noob. I bought my system pre-built, but have added upgrades myself such as power supply and cpu cooling fan. the fan involved a rear mount on the mobo, so i got to know my mobo better than i expected to. Anyway, just looking for some advice on over-clocking. I don't play games on my pc and it is used pretty much exclusively for 3d work. I have an app called speedfan running at the minute which lets me know all core temps etc. it seems to be relatively stable, with cores running under 50C under 100% load. Sorry if I have left any glaringly obvious info out and thanks for your help!

this thread is a cluster****. lol Im sure theres loads of good info in here and all of these answers have been answered before but most people needing help just slip through the cracks and never get answered. lol I know im not about to go through 796 pages.

run 3dmark06 and tell me what kind of score you get with that. I wasw thinking of upgrading to a quad on mine but most games dont even utilize that **** yet.

Is there anybody here with a e6300 who has used the jumper free utilty to overclock? Why does my system shut down at 20% OC?

[gsscott50]

Hey,

Thanks for getting back to me. I got a score of 11877.

Hey guys, my 4.0 GHZ became unstable on my P4 631 so I had to up to volts to 1.3. After doing some charting with speedfan, I noticed my vcore has been fluctuating between 1.26 and 1.3v. Could this be a PSU issue or is this "vdroop"? Everything is stable and my temps are fine so if I have to keep it set at 1.3 then I will.
