idle temp for my cpu is 42 degree but when i overclock it from 266 fsb to 300 fsb.....the temp shoots up to 52 degree on idle.....any idea why is there a huge difference after only going from 2.13 to 2.4ghz.....i kept the case open while overclocking so i don think there is any ventilation issue......

That is normal. Either stick with 52 or under clock it back to factory settings. Its better you install a better cooling system than a fan that comes with the CPU.

people have overcloked to a certain limit on stock cooler without increasing much temp i guess........no other coolers available here in pakistan except for asus and they are low end coolers......

no bro i don't think any product of gigabyte is available here in Pakistan.....only 2 coolers of asus are available....... silent square pro and silent knight 2......rnt you from Pakistan?

Yeah its obvious but 10 degree after OC'ing is kind of a normal phenomenon on the stock but if ur room temp is quiet normal than it shouldn't go about that high should be a fractions like 2 to 3 degree more low and after putting load it will reach upto 60 but i recommend done OC it untill u get three main components 1. Good Quality Cooling system 2. Good PSU and a GOod Oc capability mobo.

my mobo is an excellent overclocker.....PSU 430w coolermaster i think can handle a few mhz of overcloking.....all i need is a good PSU cooler which i guess will have to buy from abroad.....

And don't forget the atmosphere effect too, these days whether in karachi, lahore etc places are quite hot, if your PC is in the room temperature (without AC) then it's obvious that the temperatures will shoot a bit both even for the non OC processor and a GPU..

for Processor, a good cooler (not best though) is Asus Silent knight II, however make sure your PC casing handles that properly, specially the rear fan place require to be located at the correct standard place so the Asus silent knight can throw the hotair outside the case properly.

if you can buy, then there is water cooling system from cooler master at galaxy, around 4.5-5k, don't remember exact price...check out yourself:)

your idle temp. is too high... whats your processor model??? i think u have to reapply thermal paste and clean your CPU heatsink

This is the question lots of people ask about especially in the industry I work in. There are couple of things that’s need to be taken care of before you can say anything about your CPU temps. Check this link to have a clear and better understanding of how these thermal sensors work in CORE2 DUO and QUAD processors. These are the interpretations that can vary from motherboard to motherboard. But due to the architecture of todays intel processors we can easily find the real values bypassing all the interpretations or calibrate the interpreted values to correspond to the actual.

CORE 2 DUO and QUAD TEMPERATURE GUIDE

I would like to add couple of points here. Your ambient plays an important role as air-cooling depends on your room air temps. Asus probe results can never be trusted. Speedfan is more accurate but still often require calibration due to varying Tjmax (orTCC as labeled by Intel) in different processors. You will learn about Tcase and Tjunction temps in that guide.

Your processor Thermal Specification shows the max temp of 61.4C for your type of processor which is the max Tcase allowed under load not the core temps (TjMax or TCC) which will be 10C-15C higher in your case. Your processor throttling will start at around 75C coretemp (Tj) and it 'll shutdown before reaching 85C (Tj) or aprrox. 70C Tcase.

There is an excellent piece of software available with the name of CrytalCPUID that can read the value directly from DTS register. You can use CrystalCPUID to extract temperature data from a Core2Duos or 65nm quad to get the exact data in real time without having to depend on some other programmers interpretation. Intel refers to the register in the C2D or 65nm Quads as IA32_THERM_STATUS. It is located at position 0x19C. You can find this info in CHAPTER 13 of VOLUME 3A from Intel processor manuals.

Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's

Bits [22..16] are used in that register to stores the reading from the DTS sensor.

You can use CrystalCPUID to read any register by using menu item:
Function -> MSR Editor but before that select the hottest core from the drop down menu located on the top right.

MSR stands for Model Specific Register.

In the top box, MSR Number enter the register we are interested in for DTS info, that is 0x19C

Click on the RDMSR button which reads this register.

Read the raw DTS data from EAX register (leave the EDX)

You need to note down the 5th and 6th digit from the left.

Now open up the windows calculator and change it to scientific mode.

Select HEX and input the 2 values (suppose if your 5th digit was E and 6th was 2 then write 2E) then select DECIMAL. You will get a new value. Minus this value from your processor's Tj(Max) which is 85C in your case. The final value will be your actual temp of the core you selected in the beginning.

Kindly read the whole guide thoroughly and if you still need further help, post your questions here.

Hey are you oerclocking with stock cooling ? Man that cooling isnt even enough for medium OC. None of the gamers oerclock a bit with stock cooling get a liquid cooling to maintain tempreture and then you can oerclock much more.

thats highh....
i overclocked my 2.66 GHz to 3.7 Ghz on my gigabyte motherboard on stock cooler.
i got only 5-8 degrees rise in temperature.,,

Forgot to mention not to oc your processor with intel stock coolers as these are really pathetic as far as cooling is concerned. You also need to manage a good and balanced air flow inside your casing by installing intake and exhaust fans.

You don't need to liquid cool your processor until and unless you really know and want to push your proc to the limit. Heat pipe air coolers have taken the air cooling to the next level. Any high end cooler will be more than enough for you. According to Anandtech, you must spend at least $300 on a WC kit to outperform the best air-cooling. However people might argue that $170 can beat any air cooling with a custom loop. Either way, a good WC system will only give you .2GHz or .3GHz more OC potential over air-cooling and at what cost, you can do the maths.

I am water cooling my rig for the past 2 years and have done quite some work to evaluate the pros and cons of it. It'll be offtopic if i go into details here. Anyway here are some good and best aircoolers none of which are available locally but you can ask someone abroad to send you one. There are others as well but i am mentioning those that i 've had the chance to expreminet with (except the last 2 but soon i'll be able to put my hands on those as well).

1- THERMALRIGHT ULTRA 120 (HIGH END)
2- ENZOTECH ULTRA X (HIGH END)
3- THERMALTAKE BIG TYPHOON
4- AC FREEZER 7 PRO (GOOD MID END)
5- AKASA AK 965 (ON PAR WITH AC FREEZER)
6- OCZ VENDATA2 (CURRENTLY ONE OF THE BEST HIGH END)
7- XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 (HIGH END)

i also using P5B Deluxe M/B, i have used 2 cpu's with it e6300 @ 2800 mhzand e2180 @ 3300 mhz, the temp. diff. with normal clock and after oc was 4 t0 5 C only.

nowadays i am using e2180 @ 3300 mhz and my idle temp. is 42 C

i am using thermal take big typhoon cpu cooler and eagle tech aluminum casing which has 1 140 mm, 2x120 mm and 1 80mm fan, my side cover closed.

i don't facing any problem,

it is better that u post ur biose setting in details, so it will easy to guide you,
