alright basically i want to see how far i can oc but i think my cpu runs to hot. i was fooling around and found that at 2.4ghz stock, after 10 min prime 95 small FFT, core voltage at 1.875 set in bios (slightly under stock), i get to 59 58 55 55 on the cores. this kinda seems too high for my cooler, a zalman 9500. also when speedstep kicks in and processor at 1.6ghz with zeor load cores are at 40 39 36 37 which also seems too high. i applied the AS5 according to their website, should i reseat cooler?
Ive been up to 3ghz with 1.2v in bios but the same prime95 run gets cores to almost 70C. should i just buy a TRUE, ive been told the 9500 is not suited for quad cores. also if it helps my VID is 1.2375 according to core temp.
