I just installed oc'ed my tbird (10 x 153) on a new mobo --Epox 8K7A. I taped a flat sensor (excess plastic at the tip was trimmed off) with the tip touching the cpu core and I am getting 53C from my Digital Doc 5. MBM shows 41C max but the in-socket thermistor is not touching the underside of the core. Room temperature is abt 29C. 53C seems much higher than the figure calculated by Radiate (42C). But my system has been running stable for the past 2 days. Right now I am using the old version of the M462 with the Delta fan running at the highest setting.
Shd I start hunting for a better hsf or upgrade to the 80cfm Delta fan (FFB0812EHE)?
