No problem, hope it works for you.

Erm...this is a bit surprising. It says temp 1 is 43C But temp 2 says 64C For my issue I assume "temp 2" is my CPU? I...Hate...You.

Correct because your cpu is producing the most heat out of any hardware you have in your system You system cpu is running 147.2 F Yeah this is why you can't overclock you pc, i'm shocked you are even running stable at 2.4 without running into major problems. This could be why some apps are causing you pc to reboot, because your processors temp is going higher when the cpu has to work harder. Yeah man it's time to get a good HSF asap.

Seems critical...Should I dock my CPU Down a bit or is it not nescessary right now. Because I can possibly get a HSF tomorrow. I...Hate...You.

Yeah i would prob shut it down and just go out and get a HSF tomm and post the new results of your temp here tomm. If you don't really need to be on your pc right now then I would advise you to just shut it down for tonight.

Alright man... thanks alot. What would you recommend..Because I don't really know how much a descent HSF costs and i'm not going to order one online... I...Hate...You.

0

And Its actually 2.54 not 2.4 I...Hate...You.

Oh BTW the first temp was your system Temp just so you know, which is running avg with now case fans installed. Go out and get at least one case fan and place it in the back of your case and a nice HSF tomm. By doing this you will see a big diff in cooling.

You can go to staples, Circuit City Best Buy and pick up a decent Antec HSF for 20 to 25 bucks and a 80mm case fan for 10 bucks. Get an HSF fan that will not only support yours but even greater ghz speeds that way you will have room to breath when you overclock. it should say what types of processors and speeds it supports on the back of the package.

I also got another question if you don't mind... Even if the CPU and everything else is at descen Temp...Can there still be errors and/or crashes? and if so...what kind because i wanna take note I...Hate...You.

And I also wanted to do a torture test but I guess i already know what to do before i test my cpu any more... I...Hate...You.

Yeah but if you do get crashes after that it's normaly due to software or hardware conflict and not because of the temps in your pc. If you get anymore crashes from programs, windows has this nice tool in the control panel in Windows 2000 and Windows XP called admin tools. in there go to event viewer and if you and click on the apps and system options on the left hand side and if you see any red X's click detailed and it will normally tell you what is causing the problem. if it doesn't and all you see is a string of text copy it go to google and paste it in the search and you will prob see a list of diff links telling you what it is and how you can fix the problem.

Hah oh s--- its at 70C Alright I'm shutting down... G'nite I'll post tomorrow after i get my stuff... I...Hate...You.

Well the torture test will be to monitor the cpu temp while you are overlocking, if your system goes past say 130 F then you know what the max you should be overclocking your system at. I wouldn't advise you going past or 2.8ghz unless you are going to go out there and buy a rock solid HSF that will cost you a good 70+ dollars. run your programs that you did have problems with first and see if they work before you overclock your system, if they do then you know why they crashed, then overclock it again and see if those programs are stable do it in small about don't jump from say 50 to 150mhz each time you overclock you will know when you pc reached it's breaking point when you pc becomes very unstable. plus i would raise your vcore anything higher then 5v max of what it was set on the stock setting that too could generate a lot of heat from your cpu. If you are going to overclock you cpu to 2.8 ghz then the max i would set your vcore is 4v.

Response 20 What are you talking about regarding 5 and 4 volt vcore for current Intel chips????

"I wouldn't advise you going past or 2.8ghz unless you are going to go out there and buy a rock solid HSF that will cost you a good 70+ dollars" That is a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of excellent HSF available for about $15. Besides, no matter how high you overclock a Celeron, it's still only a Celeron...lol Have a look at the CoolerMaster X Dream III...newegg sells em for $10 + shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835103161 ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

Meh yeah its just a celeron..thats why im not that concerned. Ill just do what i can to fix it.. I...Hate...You.

0

That's not a ridiculous statement. I don't care if it's a Celeron or not, unless you don't care .But if you want to overclock and do care then wouldn't it be common sense not to push it and end up overheating something. talking about the setting.

I'm talking about your claim that you have to spend $70+ for a HSF to be able to overclock....that IS ridiculous! ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

you do at a retail store.Go to best buy and see how much they want for a nice heat sink and fan. Newegg was selling the same Antec highend HSF for 40 bucks, best buy wanted 65 for it and it was the same exact HSF. That's what we were talking about since he was going to get it at a retail store.
