I posted this in another forum but I think you guys will know much more about this. OK, what's going on here?
The temperatures on my evga 680i board stay nice and mellow
(40C idle/ 55C load) up to a 333 FSB on my e6400 Conroe, but I overclock just 1 Mhz past that and they shoot way up to 52C idle/ >70C load. I am very new to overclocking, and I know there might be some setting I am forgetting to adjust to alleviate this problem. I have a Scythe Ninja on AS5 in there so it should be fine as far as cooling goes. Why is 333 such a significant number for this that crossing it starts to make things really hot? I have kept the voltages all at the auto levels which, for the CPU is something like 1.25V and have only raised the FSB frequency to overclock.
I am also using Crucial tenth anniversary PC2-5300 RAM running at its default speed of 667 Mhz. Do I need to adjust a voltage level or the ram frequency, or what? The chipset frequency maybe? What am I forgetting here?
