Heat issue !!

[bf2player1978]

i am just wondering if my chip is getting to hot or if there is room to OC. my temp idle is around 9c via HWMonitor, and 52c under full load. i wanna squeez a few more ghz outta this chip if i can.

9°C? What is your room temp? Hardly that cold, chip should at least be a few degrees warmer than room temp 20°C = 68°F. What is BIOS reporting?

hw monitor says 9c, mobo says 33c idle

 

[rolli59]

33°C idle is a number I belief since most people keep their homes in the 20's C. Now the question is if your load temps were of as well!

 

[bf2player1978]

both core temp and hw monitor say 52c under full load

 

[rolli59]

That is a very believable temp! You should be able to OC that a bit but not much past 60°C under load.
