What is this and if im doing a high over clock should i be touching it?

 

[yasha32]

yea i cranked mine to the highest option. idk how it actau;;y affects an overclock though

 

[fredster102]

lol
would it blow my m-board??

 

[yasha32]

ive been doing it since ive got my new system. so i dont forsee any issues. i could be completely wrong though.. i actively cool my chipset with soiome arctic 5 as backup/ just make sure u cool it right and u should be good

 

[fredster102]

My chipset already runs at 70*C though...

 

[yasha32]

wow that sucks. get some better cooling or something. put some arctic 5 on there as starters, if that doesnt work get a new cooler with a fan. (arctic 5 that up as well)

 

[fredster102]

The sad part is that NO other cooler will fit on it unless i switch my PCI-E card from slot 1 to 2 and i dont know what taht will do..

 

[yasha32]

either do i. just call tech support, ive learned to rely on them for help. they are quite amazing when u talk to the right person

waterblock

Hmmm... I very much doubt your chipset runs at 158F or 70C. If it does it wont last very long. My suggestion is to get some watercooling or a nice big fan in that baby before you melt a hole to China.

Yeah it actually does because i took my motherboard back and they couldnt do anything so they called gigabyte and gigabyte actually told them it was normal for it to run that way.

It can run hot...but I highly disagree with bumping up the voltage to max.

Rule of thumb for ALL voltages on a motherboard: Adjust as necessary, in small steps.

You don't want to run it at 1.4 if it will run just fine on 1.2...(just an example)

i wanna bump it up because when i turn the comp on it resets itself 3 times EVERYTIME before it boots and i have no idea what it is because all the stability tests pass and i can leave it to benchmark for hours

If it does not boot normally.. then it is not stable, IMO

second that

Another reason you don't want to heat or high voltage is that it can potentially cut the life of the processor/board significantly. I really suggest you invest in some better cooling options if you're running that hot.

With the rest thing - it's probably your powersupply. If you're using some cheap piece that came with your case (like me

) it's likely to have some issues.

no i think its the board not the o/c because ive heard alot of ppl with gigabyte get that problem overclocking
