i believe i have the older b3 or whatever its called stepping instead of G0 so im told it runs a bit hotter.. i have the tuniq tower by the way

 

on speed fan:

 

system: -3c (why the strange temp?? can somone explain this to me)
cpu: 39 (is this ok seems a bit high to be quite honest since the tuniq tower is about equal to the thermalright ultra 120...
AUX: 44c (idk what AUX is so is this alright?)
core 0: 31
core 1: 30
Core 2: 28
Core 3: 27

 

at only %25 cpu usage i get these temps:
cpu: 51
AUX: 45c
core 0: 41
core 1: 37
Core 2: 37
Core 3: 37

 

and when i overclocked to 3Ghz i get these as idle temperatures:

 

system: 6c
CPU: 47c
AUX: 46
Core 0: 36
Core 1: 35
Core 2: 35
Core 3: 33

 

ok i also had a question about memory and weather or not i should run it at 1:1 or auto...

 

*ok i tried to boot at 1:1 which meant i had to put FSB memory clock mode to link instead of unlinked and when i tried to boot i got this one long continuous beep so i have no idea whats wrong.. and to be quite honest i nearly had a heart attack when i heard that beep.. so please any help would be much appreciated, thanks

 

*haha and now lol i cant even boot up with 3Ghz, because my ram goes to 1333 or something like that... what should i set it to?? 800 or something?

ok i set my ram to 800 now so i was able to boot but in cpu-z it says under memory

 

400.0 MHz
FSB: DRAM 5:6
5
5
5
18
22
2T

 

now im still learning but shouldnt the FSB: DRAM be 1:1?? and if so when i try to set it to 1:1 it automatically sets the ram to 1333 MHz so is it then impossible to get to 1:1 or?? uhhh im so confused help please

Set BusSpeed:DRAM to 1:1. Keep the latencies the same.
