Small Question to Overclocking

[Guest]

Hello everyone i have another question about Overclocking. to be Exact i would like to know from you guys. Do you think this is a good Overclock? Max Temps 67°C-69°C

[Jack.EXE]

yes, very good, i'd expect it to overheat by then.

[Wats]

It's an overclock.

 

I think you could go a bit further, I doubt you're running hot under load.

[Guest]

Im running 67°C-72°C under Load, Ram's still at 1333Mhz

Oh, flew right over my head. I was only looking at the cpuz..

 

Yeah, what cooler are you using?

 

Wait a minute.... you changed the picture o.O

[Guest]

Yes the other Picture showed 4001Mhz rather than 4100Mhz. im using Noctua NH-D14 and the bottom surface has a little Scratch i think that's the Reason why my CPU's getting that hot

[Wats]

Nah, little scratches aren't a problem. That's why we use thermal paste.

 

Prolly the cooler or the ihs aren't flat. If not that, poor case air flow. If not that, it's a warm day.

 

 

I'd go all out and lap everything, put some clu on there and start over. But if you're happy with it then just leave it :p

[Guest]

My Case Airflow is very good. Im using Aerocool Xpredator, CPU and VGA get Fresh air.i think my NH-D14 isn't flat. im Plaing to Upgrade to an H90

[Wats]

Sand paper costs less than a new cooler. A thin, single 140 rad isn't going to be as good as a big air cooler.

H90 is better than Noctua NH-D14 for example on benchmarks:

Maybe i get the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB E Extreme
