Thanks for reply
I ran sandra "Burn in wizard" 10 times loop and system did pass it. Max cpu temp was 63 C wich I suppose is a very good temp.
I agree that instead of a high freq value but less stability it's prefferable to run a rock-stable system.
Something it's confusing me. With case open I can see that northbridge cooler attached runs only when system start, durring windows xp load cooler stops and didn't start again even if I played UT2003 for about 6 hours. It's not (too) hot, if I touch it. Also durring Sandra Burn didn't start the northbridge cooler. Somebody tolds me that I have to close the case, run something for hours, maybe a day, to overheat the board to get that cooler running due to self control based on temperature. It seems that I cannot start it manualy. Is this a normal behavoir?
Thanks in advance.
