CPU Temperatures and Overlocking

By Nick Hodge | December 3, 2007

In my research in the continuing overclocking research for GeneralMelchett, I've found that 55degC is a little warm for a processor.

The 8800GT is now installed and working well. Just waiting for the two 22" Dell LCD monitors, external speakers and new GeekDesk for the home GeekSpace and we are go!

Admittedly, GeneralMelchett has been burnt in over the last 5 days (turned on constantly) to ensure stability. The Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor is excellent at viewing the stability of your setup over long periods of time.

So, time for some extra CPU fan (Zallman) and a controllable external 120mm fan.

It seems that the memory is the current weakest link my the chain:
