well, first put your temps to read in celcius mode since that what everyone uses. and it's more accurate since when in ferenheit mode, it just puts the C number through the *9/5+32 equation to get F.Originally posted by kanbeki
I used Artic Silver as thermal compound and I've gone through and reset my bios but after running for nine hours on high cpu usage it hit a temp of 86F...I don't think thats normal..
front in, rear out, top out, and usually side in.. but it depends on where they're placed over the motherboard.Should I have the CPU fan and Side Panel fan both output or input, both rears should be output right? front input and blowhole output...I know that its sort of off the subject but I don't feel like starting a new thread

Dynamic overclocking tools? No..it just has simple OC tools ex. Set Freq set Cpu and DDR Vcore and DDR CPU ratio..can you recommend any progs so that I can do it manually?
ahem..Originally posted by kanbeki
The side and the cpu are aligned with one another and when I try to set the freq to 125 windows won't boot so I think I found my clock limit..or is there a way to go higher..it says something about CPU vcore in bios but I didn't really understand that so uh...what should I do?
yes, vcore would be cpu voltage.Originally posted by taurus
once you find your limit, you can if you want, increase your cpu's voltage. this will likely enable you to achieve a higher overclock so after you increase it, go back to finding your max fsb again.
yeah, he's just confused on the naming. it's a celeron. eye the original post;Originally posted by Sazar
okies.. question here...
you say your cpu is c... which by implication is a canterwood based jigger... ergo 800mhz fsb quad pumped...
that means your stock fsb should be 200mhz... if its 100mhz.. thats is a QDR fsb of 400mhz...
what am I mising here ? the processor is either a base 400mhz fsb or there is something odd going on...
tbh I thought the canterwood cpu's started off @ 2.4ghz... so I was a bit surprised to see the thread title here...
after all, if his fsb was underclocked by half, he would have a P4 4.4C!Originally posted by kanbeki
I recently Oc'd for the first time..My 2.2 ghz celly now runs at a whopping 2.32 ghz..I achived this by raising the freq from 100 to 105..
active cooling should be enough for it. a lot of northbridges just have a passive heatsink with no fan, after all. so as long as the nb heatsink has good contact (assuming it was applied well at the factory or hasn't been budged loose since), then nb heat shouldn't be an issue. especially if your board supports a 533fsb, then consider the nb way under it's own limit. cpu must still be the limiter, if not your pci and agp cards.Originally posted by kanbeki
I have a small fan I think its 40mm would that be sufficent for cooling the northbridge?
i looked through your motherboard's manual to see what bios options it gives you and i have some suggestions...Originally posted by kanbeki
i think it is the agp/pci because vpu recover was crying about something
