Okay, here's my spec:
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ At 2.4Ghz/1.725V
MSI K7N2 Delta Series Motherboard (Nforce2)
2x512MB OCZ EL DDR PC3500
Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA 7200rpm 200GB
2xOptical Drives (Samsung/Lite-On DVD/CD-RW)
Nexus NX-3500 (350W) Special Edition PSU
I have an Arctic Cooler Copper Silent 2L heatsink, set to high mode (http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=14&disc=) and next to it, I have an Antec 80mm Smart Cool fan blowing air out the back. The heatsink compound is the Arctic Silicone stuff that came with the heatsink.
Here's my problem - I have my 3200+ running at 220Mhz FSB (2.42Ghz.) But to keep it stable I have to keep the vcore at 1.725V, and this quickly overheats the processor. While running 3dMark01SE, it gets to 55C and overheats - locking up the pc (case temp is 40C.)
What can I do on air cooling to get the cpu cool enough to keep it stable at this voltage?
