This is my first post so be gentle. All of my computer componets are listed below. I have a masscool cpu cooler, 2 120mm fans (one in front(intake) one in back(exhaust) a dual fan 450w power supply, a side 80mm fan(brining in cool air) and a rear exhausting pci slot fan. I list my fans because I am still have heating issuses under prime 95 stress test. My cpu peaked at 59C. I have the computer overclocked to 2.61 ghz. Vcore is at 1.325V. Is my setup the cause of my cooling issues or am i pushing the cpu too much? I have read that others had theirs clocked to 3.2 so i cant imagine why this would be too much. My next problem is I cant get the comp too boot if i push it past this point? It doesnt seem to pick up my harddrive when i push it any farther. It's 150g sata hard drive. What could cause this, once again am i pushing it too far? Finally with the 4 1gb chips of ram installed my computer only says i have 3.25gb, is this normal or is some being used for the mobo? I dont have onboard video so i cant imagine some is being used for that. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. sorry for the grammatical errors.
