I have a Foxconn 946GZ7MA-8KS2H LGA 775 Intel 946GZ Micro ATX Intel Motherboard combined with an Intel Pentium E2180 Allendale 2.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E2180.
I have the processor overclocked 20%, 2.41GHz.
I have the stock cooler on the CPU, but I do have Arctic Silver 5.
The idle temperature for the CPU is around 77F.
Under stress, like Oblivion maxed out, it will only hit maybe 84F.
The temperatures before the overclock were about the same, and if I overclock my system even more the temperatures might only raise 2-3F at idle. and maybe hit 89F under stress.
I reduced the clock to 2.41GHHz because I felt it would be safe, since I don't seem to have an accurate temperature reading.
I've had this thing to 3.5GHz and still no significant change, seemed to run stable as well. Even under an Everest Ultimate Stress test.
Do I have some kind of miracle computer? Or are my temperature diodes malfunctioning?
Even if I touch the heatsink near the base when its under stress, next to the cpu, it doesn't feel much more than room temperature.
*EDIT* Fixed the thread title, haha :p
