Well I finally got the temp down by installing another 80mm fan in the top of case. Now theres a total of 3 80mm fans (1) down in front blowing in, (1) in top blowing out, and (1) in the power supply blowing out. (2) 60mm fans on the alpha blowing into the heatsink and (1) exhaust blower. Temps are at 24c/75f=cpu and 16c/60f+MB no load. Under full load(quake 3 loops and star trek) 45c/113f=cpu and 18c/64f Mb. I'm going to run Sisoft all night and see how it goes too. Only thing left to do is get a bigger power supply I found a deal on a A1 350watt with duel fans for $36. Think that will will do me just fine. Anyone think I have maxed this cpu out or should I be able to get more now that its running cool?I will post back in a bit.

nice oc, also a lot of people arent stable at those temps but if you are, thats fine.....nice mobo too;)
At that voltage and load CPU temps, I would not try going any higher. Looks like you've reached your limit for the current cooling mods. Nice overclock.
Good overclocking.. Doesn't everyone computer sound like tornados now :p With all those fans!

Im curious how cold is your room seeing that your Mobo temps are 16*c- 60*f and cpu at idle being 24c/75f
You live in an Igloo?

Igloo?!?! no no no but I do have electric heat so i do keep the temps down in my house cause its expensive to run. Temps average between 55-65 because we been haveing nice weather lately. Anywho I ran Sisoft for 12 hours and never topped 38c/100f =cpu and 17c/62f=MB. This is the second 12 hour burn in I have have done in the past couple of weeks, is that enough?Im looking for different opinions on this but what would you guys and gals say is the average amout of time or times to run a burn in prog? Thanks for everyones help
There's no limit to a burn in..
People here download seti or Folding as a burn in... AS well having another point other than a burn in..
They both do the burn-in job but Seti will include "The Search For Intelligence" while Folding cures deseases.. Both program assigns you work units and depending on your CPU Speed .. the more WU you will finish..

that is a good price for a 350W power supply, but I just got a 500W one for 48 with dual copper plated steal ball bearing fans.
I also run 2 80mm Fans one front one back plus the exhaust for the Power supply. And 2 HD coolers
One BlueOrb for Video Card and 2 7000RPM Deltas on top of MCX370Heatsink.
What did you say. Couldn't hear you. naw it ain't that loud after I put the Dyna Matt inside my case :D hehe.
No sound now. SO I have 8 fans inside my Case
