You would need LN2 probably to do 4.5+

hey guys, when do you get "stable" load temps? cause mine is still raising and raising after 1 hour of OCCT...

does your temp stop increasing after some amount of OCCt, or is it normal to raise up constantly even after 1-2 hours?

every time I OC, I open my case so the temp wont be too hot (since I believe you wont get 65C on normal usage, just wanna detect error on CPU)

If this is abnormal could you suggest me what to do so that the temp stop raising after certain amount?

Well max temp is 62*C... so I would say any thing over 55 is "to hot" my machine stabalizes at about 52 after about 15 min of running Intel burn test. If your cooler is good and air flow is good it should stabalize fairly quickly.

My guess is you need a better cooler or better air flow.

When you take the side panel off, do your temps change by much? If they do, then it is likely the case cooling that is your problem. Also, your heatsink is pretty decent, so I wouldn't try replacing it until we've figured out a few other things.

How are your case fans configured? How many fans do you have in the case right now? Also, are you sure that it is seated correctly? You might try reseating the heatsink with something good like MX-2 or AS5 and see if that helps with the temps.

Good luck

2 14 cm fan in the front as intake, 2 14 cm up there as exhaust, one 12 cm fan back as exhaust...

i didn't open the case, just the front and upper panel....

when fully closed, 64 and then beep bluescreen..
when upper and front panel opened, 56 as the max, and could pass 4.0 GHZ for 6hours

edit: I used Tuniq TX4 as thermal paste

Good day guys. I've been wondering why most of your temperature readings are exactly the opposite of mine. Look here, my CPU Temp is way bigger than the CPU Core Temps.
I'm running on a Phenom II 945 C2 at stock value of 3.00Ghz cooled by a Zerotherm FZ120.
What do you think i should do?

Why choose to increase ur ref clock rather than the multiplier in a system?

I have a Crosshair IV/965BE/H70 and XM3 DDR3-1600 CL 8-8-8-24

and im wondering which is the best way to OC my system. It seems that everyone is saying different things.

I.E
-up the multiplier and up the voltage till u hit a wall (seems the easiest..)
-or up ref. clock and voltage and also OC the CPU-NB

It seems that if I up multiplier I dont have to worry about my memory problems but that seems the easy way out. I simply want the BEST way to OC my computer.

What are the benefits of increasing the ref. clock than the multiplier?
