Black64 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 For your CPU just up the multiplier and you should be good. (remember to watch your heat levels) For your GPU's use ATI overdrive. (again watch heat and check for artifacts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 What are good temps for the CPU and GPU Respectivly 62c is max temp for that Phenom II. So you would want to keep it somewhere in the area of 55c~ish max while stress testing as to not put too much strain on the CPU and ensure it has a long life. I would imagine with that H50(is it single fan or push/pull?) With single fan i see you getting 3.6-3.8ghz for nice stable 24/7 temps with push/pull(2 fans) id imagine you'd have little issue keeping heat down for a nice 4.0ghz 24/7 OC. Those 5770's dont like getting hotter than 90c, but can as i believe the danger zone isnt til 95-100c(mine would get angry and lock up sometimes when it went over 85c though). Typically i kept my 5770(when i had it) at 75-80c or so in games. It was overclocked like a champ though 1010mhz on the core and 1350 on the memory which is quite significant over stock clocks, but most of the time i had it at 950/1250. The fan in mine was really really loud at 100% so i never allowed it to go over 65% which was part of the high temps in games. When at 100% temps stayed 65-70c under heavy stress testing.

Black64 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 150F 160F thats the highest for a 24/7 PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) MercuryDoun thats seems really hot for a 5770(also when I had it). I had mine OCed and it never got past 57C under-full load. I had the fans at 45% Edited March 7, 2011 by Black6464 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H50 is a closed Water Cooling system from corsair for my processor heres the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 The H50 is a single fan in push. you can upgrade it to push and pull. MercuryDoun was just asking what setup you had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
