I just installed Corsairs H50 water cooling device replacing my stock AMD Athlon II X4 630's fan and heat sink.
With the stock set up I O.C. from 2.8 to 3.2 and my system idled at 54 degrees.
When I installed the H50 I my idle went way down to 35.5 degrees. Awesome difference right from the start.
I then used AMD overdrive auto to do some more overclocking. During the O.C. the CPU temps never went above 48 degrees and the program ran to completion in about an hour.
I was present the whole time and computer never acted up. I am wondering why the program completed successfully at only 3.311 MHz and did not go further?
I had voltage boost check marked to add voltage as needed and CPU temps never got high.
What is limiting the O.C? I am not complaining, getting a 2.8 up to 3.3 is good but just wondering.
Is it because my multiplier reached a 14X max?
