    You should use CoreTemp. :thumb:

    My load is low 40s... :mrgreen:

    When I was running Prime95, 100% load, I ran CoreTemp, straightaway blue screen. :haha:

    Btw, the CoreTemp and Intel TAT both reported idle temp at 30s when in the BIOS it's reporting 50s idle.

    That's why I changed to ASUS Probe and another ASUS utility. :mrgreen:
    No money already la... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Which air cooler do you suggest? The Thermaltake 120 that Peaz bought? Is there any screw-in version, coz I hate those push-in clip version. I pushed the CoolerMaster Hyper TX until my thumb went numb especially the one hidden beside the PSU. Had to use torchlight somemore. :wall:

    Make sure you use 0.95.4, the earlier version 0.95 has some issues.

    LOL, just remove the mainboard to install the heatsink if you are having a hard time trying to secure the push pins into the mounting holes. If it's using screws (which means backplate), you still need to remove the mainboard to install the backplate anyway.

    It's Thermalright btw, not the crap Thermaltake :mrgreen: If you want an upgrade, get TRUE (upgraded version of TR Ultra-120), the best heatsink right now.

    Eh, Thermaltake pulak. :haha:

    Well, the problem is I hate removing the mainboard. Unlike yours, mine is in the case. :mrgreen:

    Just now tried 370x9@3330Ghz, temp straightaway shot to 92 degrees on load. Crazy! Quickly stopped Prime95. :faint:

    365x9, got error at Prime95 after just 5 mins. :(

    Die... Sigh, if I'd known better, I should have stayed with the E6600. :wall:

    Thermal throttling is what happens when your CPU overheats. It either inserts idle cycles or clocks down to "cool" off. You can keep overclocking higher and higher but in reality, your performance is no better.

    Ok guys Im back and it appears that I cant get to 3.7 stable. I saw this article today from tomshardare:

    Overclocking: Dual- vs. Quad-Core CPUs | Tom's Hardware

    I basically tried to follow the e6750 specs but the only thing I couldnt do was set my memory timing to 4-4-4-12. It seems like Im stuck at 5-5-5-18.

    Is this ok, or is there a way to get my timing down? Also any suggestion about getting my box over the 3.6 hump. Ill give my spec if you need them. Thanks!

    But you wanted the screw-in version, which has a backplate and you MUST to remove the mainboard to install it :haha:

    Seriously, get a better cooler for your CPU :mrgreen:

    No no you don't follow exactly other peoples overclocked settings :mrgreen: You can use them as reference but don't follow everything :) Every chip is unique (even the same model) and can have very different overclocking potential.

    Have you tried increasing vcore? What voltage is it currently running right now @ 3.6GHz?

    And just leave the timings at 5-5-5-18. I'm running mine at 5-5-5-15. Stable and just as fast.

    I used machine screws, lock washers and nuts although you have to remove the Mobo. I tried(modified) an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for 478 socket but wasn't happy with it at all. You can't reverse the fan mounting and since the fan uses PWM you can't simply reverse the polarity to change the direction of airflow.

    I went with this as it supports 478 and my upgrade too 775 and also just about everything AMD has to offer. You can change the fan orientation with one phillips screw and for any socket mount the cooler in any orientation you want. Also found the angled heatsink draws off my chipset and ram cooler nicely and I have reversed the fan direction as shown on the pic in "Bragging rights" thread :D

    EDIT: Sorry just noted air cooler but leaving the post as is anyway ;)

    That's a very nice overclock! Most E6750 don't do that well.
