Q, hows the overclocking of your system going?

Somethings wrong dawg, maybe the ambient temperature is just that different??? Maybe you need to clean the system off (dust and such). Or possibly you dont have a clean seat on the CPU and HSF.

49C stock is way to high, thats a big problem. Check your Vcore to make sure its at 1.35V or so.

my stock load probably hits 50C, im not sure, but most likely. fortunately the majority of your OC wont raise the temp very much

whats your room temp

77 right now. It's been hot out, but not hot enough for AC yet.

But yea, it was at 51C earlier, stock still. That's WAY to fucking high, I don't know what's wrong. I cleaned everything out, redid the thermal stuff... I have no clue. But it's pissing me off.

Wow, after some research and remembering how fucking dumb I am... I realized I put too much thermal grease on, AGAIN.

Time to retry, I'll let you know what goes on.

Didn't help. Same temps.

Ok, what the fuck is up then?!? This is REALLY pissing me off.

thats load? that seems along the same line as mine. considering your room temp is 3-5F higher (ASSUMING thats 77F, anyway XD)

your procs run hella hot... this opteron at 2.4 hits 44C load lol... at stock its like 36C which is probably lower then your stock idle. But then again I have amd heatpipe

I have stock. But that's still high I think.

Im not going to get to 2.6ghz.. 2540 requires 1.5V core and it just runs too warm for my liking. 50-53C load is too much IMHO and its not really necessary for the extra 100mhz. I mean 2.45 is rock solid stable at 1.4V and like 44C load so thats what im staying. Its fast enough, hell it killed my celery at lower clockspeeds lmao.
