However my temps,The loads temps im concerned with.

This is the load temps when running Prime 95 for 5 passes.

Core 0:60c
Core 1:60c
Core 2:54c
Core 3:54c

Should i invest in a better Cpu cooler?
 
Thanks for replying,And do you think my volatge is okay?
According to CPU-Z my Cpu voltage is at 1.4....im sure in the BIOS i set it at 1.375 :confused:
 
Stay as close to stock as possible but if your temps at load stay around 60 then the voltage is fine. The discrepancy between BIOS and CPU-Z could just be either how they detect the voltage or it could be your BIOS trying to account for Vdroop.
 
Okay thanks for helping,

Also i noticed now for some reason,When i enable Intel EIST in the Bios,My system fails to load windows....it just freezes at the Windows loading bar screen.

But when i disable it,It loads windows up just fine and is great :confused:

My exact readings from the Bios i set if anyone wants to know.

Cpu - 1.375v
Memory - 2.1v
Northbridge - 1.375
Southbridge - Auto
Everything else auto.

Speedstep can cause problems with overclocking because it is not made to work with an overclocked CPU. The same goes for AMDs CnQ technology.
 
Thing is i could have speedstep enabled and not have any problems when running at 3.2Ghz.

Think i should just leave speedstep off?
