You can also run a game like GTA4, crysis, etc high cpu using games. Leave core temp open, play the game for 10 minutes, close it, check core temp where it says "High", it will be the max temp your cpu reached when you played your game. I'll help more when you give temps.
also, NB is not the same as HT.
the guide says this.
Common terms:
CPU - your processor
VCore - the voltage of the CPU
NB - North Bridge (in older boards - the chipset. In newer boards - the integrated memory controller)
HT - hyperTransport - the link between CPU and RAM
Multi - multiplier
Ref.clock - Reference clock
Freq - frequency

Here's The results, ran prime95 for about 15 minutes along with core temp. I don't think i'll be able to overclock unless I get a better cooling system. :/

I did went through the guide but it doesn't tell me how to find my NB multiplier, my NB Frequency is 1607 MHz. I am assuming my NB multiplier is 8, am i right?
Also my ram frequency is 401.8 Mhz and I am still not sure how to calculate my ram multiplier.

Yes your NB mutli is x8 . Lots of bios are different so you will have to look for anything you've been asking about. It's really good to know where everything is at in the bios. Lots of settings can have different names compared to another mobo. Just look around everywhere. Take a picture of main bios screen if you can. You can skip all that for now if you can get your fans higher, if you can then run prime again. But the fans will be louder smile.gif
