My rig is in my sig. My processor voltage is 1.7. I have 2 ceramic core exhaust fans, a raidmax that came with the case in the side panel and a pair of coolermaster intakes in the front. I'm using an aspire (not sure on model....it's big and it's blue) for the cpu cooler w/ as3. My temps are 51c idle and up to 62c under load. I don't do anything to stress the cpu except for benchmarks for now so I'm not worried about the high load temps. By the time I start gaming with this machine a lot I'll improve the cooling.
For some reason I get a hardware failure within a few minutes of running the prime95 torture test. Before I got this new stick of RAM I could run it for hours. I was using pc2100 with my fsb at 166. My processor was set at 12x166. When I first installed this new RAM I hadn't upped the fsb on my processor yet so it was still at 166x12. I got 100 checksum errors within a few minutes when I tried the torture test then. After I upped the fsb to 200 I started getting the hardware failures. When I run the small FFT's test (the cpu intensive one) my cpu gets hot but I don't get any errors. I can run 3dmark01 looped for hours with no problems. I ran memtest86 for about 10 hours last night and got no errors. My OS is winME.
I'm just wondering if I can fix the problems with my hardware failure in Prime95. At first I thought it was my memory...until I passed memtest86. Is this something I need to worry about? Thanks in advance.
