I may have been wrong and it's a 5c difference. Doesn't matter. I would be more concerned about using a stock-ish cooler at the frequencies you are running. Either way it's your hardware, I don't care.

He's right, 95C or 100C doesn't matter, if you care at all about your hardware, DONT run it at those temps.

If I were you, I'd even buy a Hyper 212+, add an extra fan, get some good TIM like MX-2 or OCZ Freeze, and run it at 3.8GHz
 


looks safe to me , plus my cpu is an old boot , next summer ill be getting upgrades .
i was just suggesting to make real temp default settings a safer s/w to use for normal users
like me who might not ask and trust the default tjmax
i thanks u anyway . and might need ure help if i crashed again for reasons other than temp .
i hop i wont tho .
 
looks like my memory crashed

well if i were you (im in a very simlar situation) buy a cheapo aftermarket cooler, and take that thing as far as it will go. aslong as it is stable and not TOO hot, it will see you through till summer. :toast:


Try loosening your memory timings slightly, then stress test it for at least 4hrs NO LESS

Use OCCT for stress testing, it is better
 
ure all talking about heat now and i dont have a temp problem as i showed above .
i need to solve the memory issue you say ? what losing memory means ?
my kvr memory is at 5 5 5 15 at stock its 6 6 6 18 1.8v i made it 2v why did my mem crash ?

am gonna leave this thread with an ocing badge , my intelligence level is way more than you think .



i got it stable on 1.2v temp is 65c and i will do any test you ask me to do . but dont tell me wait 24hours .
 
Any test? Download OCCT and run the linpack test.
 
ok give me the link plz and tell me for haw long to run the test thanks
 
well seeing those red hammers scared me ill be ok with prime95 i dont want to hammer that
thing yet
 
whats wrong with prime95??? its been on for hours now max temp 65c
 
I searched through the thread and didn't see anyone mention IBT (Intel Burn Test) - download from 3d guru

It has multiple setting so you don't have to worry. However on 'max', it will beat the shit out of any cpu. If you can go 10 rounds on max (free up as much memory as possible first) with IBT, you are rock solid stable at whatever your current ambient temps are.
 
thats is all ure getting from me , you cpu beasts lol :



30 min of cpu torture test



0 errors 0 warnings 20 tests in 26 min
 
cool , dead space 2 here i come .

That is what OCCT LinPack is.:D

Maybe they have the same code at the core, but I've used all 3 and OCCT doesn't even come close to IBT on max. IIRC, IBT consistently makes my CPU's hit temps that are a minimum of 5C hotter than OCCT.

You have to see it for yourself to believe it. OCCT will kick your CPU in the nuts, but IBT cuts them off and feeds them to you. :toast:

I use OCCT for memory a bit, but usually just use IBT, definitively awesome

read, about 3-4 people including me mentioned a linpack tester...

thanks but i plan to keep this cpu for some more time . :ohwell:

it's won't kill the CPU. If it does, you weren't supposed to run it at that speed/voltage anyways
