cpu temps?

wow hunter you are the man! it is working! and it is running 10c lower than with the auto overclock. my only concearn, I set the ratio to 45 and on realtemp it shows that it is maxing out at 4200. would you know why it is doing that?
 
i run my 1100t OC'd at 3.6ghz up from the 3.3ghz stock but down from the 4.0ghz i used to have it at. just to prepare for the upcoming hot summer in san diego. i do run a corsair h80 liquid cpu cooler. coretemp reads each individual core in the 20's [celsius] and my asrock oc tuner reads the overall cpu temp in the 30's area. itll spike up as much as 10c in both overall and individual temps at most. but thats only during really demanding games like 64-man conquest battlefield with a lot of shit going on and im running the game at high. playing lesser games like CSS dont really raise my temps at all lol.
 
so hunter, I did this a while back, I overclocked to 45 and it seemed to be maxing out at 4.2 under full load. so I changed the multiplier to 42 just to be safe. when I run a stress test, it shoots to 4.2 and then drops down to 3.8-3.9 and sits there.
 
High temp is kiiling your O/C. Your CPU throttles down cause the temp is getting too high.
Is your cooller using 120mm or 92mm fan? cant tell from he pic

-check CPU cooler contact w/ the CPU
-using manual settings in the bios, dont use offset/auto

I'ts a 120mm fan. and it doesn't even get to 80c when I let prime95 run for like 20 minutes.
 
just keep it @ 4.0ghz Grego, lol.. don't blow your nice little cpu to bits and pieces like your 6990. Running the CPU @ 4.0ghz is more then enough unless your like benchmarking and trying to get those higher numbers or just liquid cooling all the time.

70-80 degrees in-door temp is pretty hot man to be running a computer on just AIR and trying to OC it.. be careful man.

yea I mean... I'm just a frame fiend, I NEED MOAR, haha. but It never gets passed 65 when i'm playing video games, even in the summer.

Haha I understand man I do! but that's good I guess, 65 (150f degrees) is still extremely hot lol mine dont go past 35 and thats on air! GPU's on the other hand... lol. Keep them around 50c full load but still hard to keep temps down. I just feel better then my computer isn't cooking my feet and giving me 3rd degree burns from 2 feet away.
