Hey,
I just wanted to see what adjusting the mhz( i thinks thats what it was) of my cpu from 200-220 would do...and i checked cpu-z after and it said 3.3 ghz(3299 mhz) and i restarted comp and set defaults (3.0ghz) because my temps were raised by 5 celcious(from 48-53).
is there a certain way to oc? i never have done it before. whats the safe operating temp on my cpu? i read somewhre that most intels just slow down to reduce the heat, but amds keep going till...gone. my mobo is a m2a-vm by asus.i'm using the fan/heatsink that came witht he package....thnx in advance...

edit: ima read the cpu oc sticky...thatll probaly help lol.

What cooler do you have, is 48*c idle? thats a bit warm. With a good cooler you should be able to do 3.2-3.3 stable with a small voltage increase, if any. You should up the voltage by 0.025 at a time, and use a program like prime95 (orthos) to check stability.

Yea thats alittle warm for a 200MHZ overclock, like ThatGuy16 said a better CPU heatsink/fan set up would bring down the temps. from using the stock cooler.

They mount the same, is that what your asking?

Most will come with thermal paste, or pre-applied paste.

are u saying u have no rear fan? if u dont have the rear fan on your case i recommend u get 1
if it is about 10CM from the wall it should just spread across the wall not going back in to your case.
