SmokinU Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Hello again, So far when I left for work this morning I was at 12 hours on prime95 SFF test with no errors and temps were actually lower than what I had with the blend test (go figure??) Blend test: 73-75c max load temps SFF: Much larger range: 68-73c max load temps Not sure what the real difference is between the test but something's going on lol.

SmokinU Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Well I did some minor fsb tweaking (very slight increase) back in the amd thunderbird processor days (prior to 1 ghz threashhold was common) but since just that simple thing many years ago, yes it is. I would just like to get my temps down more but that is going to take either water cooling or prob a little more than 100+ bucks on air cooling parts. But for everyday use it seems fine at those temps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
