I just ran super PI for 7 mins , and it ran good , my processor is at 275x9..the cpu reads at 40 degrees and the chipset gets to 72 from 70..
can i go any higher , my voltage is 1.5

u can go higher, but not much...the temp u put is that load or idle, your Vcore could possibly go a little higher, still a good OC

 

[fredster102]

40 is the load ... 27 is the idle ... i dont have AS5 on it yet and im on stock..

 

[The Viper]

u have low ambient temps dont u? can u tell me more about your RAM?

 

[tytlyf]

your chipset is way to hot, put a fan on it....
it should be between 45-60c.

 

[fredster102]

it was like that stock... i do have a little CD-RW fan on it doesnt cool it much though

 

[tytlyf]

you might want to make sure its seated properly, and also consider removing it, cleaning the bottom off thouroughly and applying AS5 to try to get cooler temps..

ive only had the mobo for about a month though... i can try though would that give me a better o/c?

 

[fredster102]

oh yah it cant be that its not transfering the heat cause the heatsync is really really hot(like burn my finger on it hot)

 

[fredster102]

My ram is some cheap no name ram...infineon chips

 

[Rukkee]

if your chipset H/S is hot enuff to burn your fingers, i would say its time to take a look at it . And yes it will help getting a stable overclock.

lol well what can i do about it i have like 1mm space between the video card and the heatsync..i think gigabyte just crapped out on the design of this motherboard

 

[fredster102]

Are there any coolers or new heatsyncs for it i can buy?
