Yes this is using the Stock cooler, which did a fine job. The PLL is IDT CV184.

Pictures will follow about my overclock from Q8200 & E6750..... I will be going on a trip till sunday then pictures will come. A bit info. I had to remove 2x2GB Dimm's to be able to hit the highest clocks, my corsair ram simply didn't allow me to hit such speeds.

I will look at it when I get home later :D. Meanwhile I'll open another thread for my laptop overheating XD...

:twitch: :eek: It has I think lol :D....

It is a dell motherboard :wtf: I've had it since 2009--

Oh well, I am 3 - 4 months away from buying my new pc so :) I hope it will stay alive for atleast 5 months more.

I don't know If I can fit another fan into it, I ain't home right now but I will check later. http://image.dhgate.com/albu_210346026_00/1.0x0.jpg My motherboard. The heatsink is the one getting very hot.

It has only a heatisnk with the cpu fan pushing cold air over it, should I invest in a chipset fan?

Standard ATX Dell XPS 430 mobo. Yeah I am overclocked, but even when at stock speeds it gets pretty hot, and I begin to worry about how much longer it will survive those high temps.

Hi, I got issues with my southbridge heatsink getting wayy hotter than I am able to even touch it without burning my fingers, any ideas what I should do? My cpu fans air runs easily through the heatsink. http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/34228

Take harddrive out, plug into desktop, take backup of it, format it? :P I don't know.

Hello, during this week I have successfully overclocked my XPS430, by using the PLL. Which contains all the FSB information etc. I used CPUCooL, and reached a stable clock of 2.71Ghz on my Q8200 which runs at 2.33Ghz stock. My system specifications are currently. DELL XPS 430 M/B. DELL...

Since everyone says its not possible to overclock a dell I gotta come with a statement, IT is. If you have a PLL Chip which is supported by CpuCooL / SetFSB. I have just overclocked my dell xps 430 from 2.33Ghz stock Q8200 to 2.7Ghz stable. I also tried overclocking my E6750 Core2Duo in it...
