Hello,
Because my E6550 was getting slow i decided to overclock it. After reading some articles about OC it seemed a good idea to buy a CPU cooler. So i bought myself a Scythe Mugen 2 revision B.
The problem is that when i overclock my fsb to 400Mhz and use the intel burn test my cpu hit temperatures around 70-80 with in seconds. Lowering FSB speed doesnt solve the problem as does tweeking the CPU voltage etc.
There for I was wondering if somebody hear can help me a hand and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
My specs are:
Intel E6550
Asus P5Q Deluxe
Twinx dominator PC8400 2gig Ddr 2
XFX HD 5850 Black Edition
Antec P-180 Case 3 120mm fan installed 1 sucking in fresh air and 2 blowing out air. The fan on the Mugen 2 is attached under the heat dispencer.
I'm a OC noob so you help me the most by giving me detailed information about BIOS settings like CPU/NB (GTL)/SB volt, FSB strap to frequency,...
