Im only 16 as well :kaola:

In a since it is benchmarking your cpu...we have to watch our temps or be ready to smell a charred mb and cpu :o

While it's benching it should not burn it. It's stressing it mathematically in hopes of forcing it to error, at which time you'll probably only experience a BSOD and have to reboot. Neither the CPU nor mobo should fry in the process.

SiSoft Sandra is another test you can use, and it's test are short-term, but taxing. I only move onto long-term tests like Orthos or Prime95 after making several successful passes though the slew of tests within Sandra, first.

Is failing when performing calculations in orthos a good indication to show that the overclock is to much etc?

 

Would sisoft sandra be a better start and as long as it goes good move onto orthos?

 

I figured as long as orthos didn't fail everything was ok :??:

A failure in Orthos is a clear sign the OC is too much. And yeah, if all goes well in Orthos or Prime95, then the OC is fine. However, both Orthos and Prime95 should be run for extended periods of time, meaning hours, even days. Sandra tests have a much shorter duration, usually lasting only a minute or two, so if you have any trouble in them, you'll very likely have trouble in the much longer duration Orthos or Prime95.

Yeahp i know...as long as the overclock can stand a few hours stably thats all i need for my machines...

Yeah, but the point I was trying to make was if a 1-min test gives a go ahead, then proceed to the long-term. If a 1-min test fails, no sense moving onto the long-term.

You NEED TO STOP!

 

That CPU shouldn't be hitting ANYTHING above 60....55 is even a dangerous point...running your cpu like that it won't take long before you smell something burning!

 

Are you using the stock HS? you should get a new HS+F and install it ASAP along with some GOOD! cpu grease and you may want to add some case fans as well

 

My room was actually cooled ok last night and at 100% i wasn't hitting anything above 50 degrees on both cores :D

 

But you need to stop using your processor AT ALL! if it is running that hot as that is a surely kill your cpu tempature...

 

Iv got my case laying on its side with the side cover off and the fans are all turned to shoot the air straight out of the case and i always keep an oscalating fan on so my gear stays pretty cool

 

Your case should be open if your running that hot!

 

Il say it again this is very SERIOUS! you should look at the kill temps of the cpu you are running as you are ABOVE them!

At full loads those are actually decent temps, especially in a hot environment and is not dangerous.

Provided those temperatures are the very hottest it goes during stress test it should be fine.

Yeah it could very easily accumulate a few more degrees and that would be the end for the processor....if he can he needs to find a way to get the temps lower...

It really depends how the load temperatures where obtained. If it was half an hour of Prime95(like you should use to get load temps) then it would be fine. If not Komomu should look into getting better cooling.

I just run Prime95 for about 3 minutes and it hit 66 degrees (never saw that high before)should I open my case?

66 in 3 mins is hot in a hurry... Yes you should try opening it up. Also, get some sort of fan (house or PC) to blow fresh air onto the CPU area. If it still hits 60+ in 3 mins while open with a fan blowing fresh air onto it, then I'd say you're in need of a better cooling solution, or at minimum, removal and cleansing of the HS/Fan and CPU of the old thermal grease, followed by the application of some high-quality Arctic Silver 5 or similar quality thermal grease. Though, even this may not yield a significant reduction in heat due to your location and the higher ambient temperatures you deal with daily.

I have my AMD 5000+ Black Edition OC'd to speeds similar to those of a stock 6000+ CPU (3.2GHz - 16 x 200 @ 1.42v) and it will run Prime95 for hours with temps topping out at 49 or 50C. But, I'm using an aftermarket HS/Fan - ZEROtherm BTF80 w/ ZEROtherm's ZT-100 thermal paste.

Yeahp same here with my 6000+ @ 3293....AMD 64 Pro cooler

He is indeed way to hot...
