ı finally got my 4200 yesterday. It is running at 252*10.5=2650 voltage:1.475 idle:39-40 load: with double prime 61 maximum. Are these temps high or normal?

when I set it to 2700 with 1.5 volt it doesn't give any errors with double prime as long as it work but it crashes if ı open another programs while priming or when ı run 3dmark05. ıs the voltage not enough or 2650 is the limit of my cpu?

ı have a problem with my rams, too. ıthink my mobo doesn't like them. they don't run at 1t as dual channel. they work as single channel or at 125 mhz at 1t otherwise it just restarts or shuts down while loading the windows. ı will try your suggestions when ı got home. now ı am at work thanks so much.

my rams did not like over voltage. they are old performance series.they did not like cas 2, either.(rated 3-3-3-8 2.60 volt) ı have been double priming for half an hour error free at 257*10,5=2700 ram:/166 207mhz voltage 1.55 ı am surfing on the net at the same time. small fft test is running. ı am waiting.. temp never went above 60 now it is 60C,too.

I have my running somewhere in that range as well... prime 95 gets temps to ~56C max after 12hours and compiling an HL2 map gets me up to ~62C but we are talking MAXIMUM LOAD these CPUs can't give anymore juice and therefore temps should not rise above that

my OC: 250*11 @1.44V
