a question for u.
the fact that my 2500+ doesn't get over 2.1 ghz, depends on temperature?
which is/are the main cause/s that prevent a good oc?

It should go over 2.1. You need to include way more info in your posts. Mobo, ram, ram timings, FSB, Core volts, etc.......

http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=207088 Go check that out. If you follow the steps closely, and ask questions, you should be able to get over 2.1Ghz.
Good luck

He is asking for the Heatsink that you are using to cool the CPU.

what are your temps? try to keep them below 55°C LOAD!! and shoot for under 45° your actually core temp is usually higher so you want to watch out. and if you smell burning, DIVE FOR THE POWER STRIP AND KILL IT!!!!!

sounds like some ducting could help those temps. private message me in a couple days. modenaf1 is making a ducting guide that should help out all that need ducts. It will have pictures and all that cool stuff.

You could also look into the Thermalright SK-7 which is only $20 and when it is coupled with a good high-CFM fan, it will give you much better temps than the coolermaster heatsinks.
