Silverado not working so well

[loosenut]

I've got a CPU running between 50 and 55 degrees C with my Silverado set to 8V. This seems pretty high compared to some of the tests I've seen on the web. Is there anything I might be doing wrong, or anything I can do to improve the temp? Or is 55 degrees nothing to worry about?

Thanks!

55C is somthing you should worry about but we can't help you without knowing a little more. Answer these questions:

What are the ambiet temps?
How cool is your Case? (Case Cooling..got any fans?)
What are you using to monitor the temps?

[The Overclocker]

and have you got artic silver?

Loosenut, from what I can tell, those temps are about normal for the 1.33 Ghz. Before I went to water cooling, my idle temps were in the 50's, that was with the standard HS the processor came with.

Just to let you know, water cooling has helped me tremendously, I am getting about 49-50C at full load (and that is o/ced @1400 too!!):D Water cooling is an option you might want to ponder.
