Hey guys,
I recently bought a cheap(ish) mid-range PC:
AMD 64 3500+ (Venice)
1GB Mushkin DDR400 2-3-2-6 (2x512-DC)
Asus A8N-E
XFX 6600 512MB XT
What I want to know is why on stock speeds, my cpu and m/b temps idled about 37-38c each, but when I overclocked CPU to 240fsb (Still with 11x multi and 1:1 ratio with ram [DDR480]) So obviously 2.64Ghz from stock 2.2Ghz. Why has my idle temp dropped to 33/34c on both? When under high temp stress with 20mins on Prime95, stock and o/c temps both are about 48-50c Could this mean there is something wrong with my thermistors? I'm kinda worried cause if there is, My CPU could be chugging along at like 80c lol (I Hope Not).
P.S. O/C is pretty reliable...5 Passes on memtest86, Superpi passes everything and Prime95 went fine a day straight.
Thanks in Advance
