[pacboy22]

how do i raise the core voltage? im at 1.73v now on p4 1.5gig and im realyl heating up so should i change and if yes can you tell me how please

When you say "heating up", are we taling 50C or 40C?? If 40C you could probably raise the voltage to 1.775V... if you're already running hot (around 50C), I wouldn't bother without better cooling.

The short answer on whether you should raise the voltage is "NO". If your temps are that high, then it's possible you have a problem with the heatsink not being properly attached to the CPU. Are using thermal paste or even a thermal pad? Something is definitely wrong.

yes osmething is wrong but i dont know what it is iam using thermal grease but its the original one so i dont know wether its good or not. i have a sony computer and htings have ben like this form the first day i recieved my pc i even bough anew case and reassembled everything is it to see if it changes anytihng but it seems like it didn not one thing

pacboy...you posted about this the other day

just quit whining and buy a new heatsink

and now you say its a sony computer...then return or exchange it

i'm sure you have some type of warranty

and if you take off the heatsink then you need to apply new grease every time
