CPU Temperatures and Overlocking

without comments

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:
