hey guys i have a spire cooler, a bios that is fine with overclocking and my temps are:
CPU: 43 celcius to max 50
Core:46c to max 55
AUX: 46c to max 53
System: 28c to max 35
GPU: 0c always (it's onboard)
Are these good for oc ing my cpu from 2.4ghz to at least 2.7-2.8ghz ?
pls answer

bump...can anyone answer this? i don't wanna go all blind and overclock stupidly.

As long as you don't reach over 65 Celcius, you're good. There are also stress tests you can run.

i believe "no pain no gain"
whatever u do, there is always "sacrifice" in words
but dont worry though, i would do anything to play my game

look this:



this is an AMD 4000+
it is cooled with air.... what you can see on the picture is, that an AMD 4000+ is running at 6000 mhz. the cores are normally on 2 ghz by this CPU. but on the picture they are running on 3 ghz per core.

who said that intel is better for overclocking? it's only a little bit easier ;-)

but do it on your own risk ^^

thx for letting me know...is there only 1 cooler in that rig? btw my amd athlon is way upper in ranking so it shouldn't be that hard to go to 2.8 ghz with my 4600+ i doubt the temps will go higher than 60c ...my rig has got almost same temps even when i play graphic intensive games... and my gfx card is always 0c

where the heck do you see 6ghz? YOU CANNOT MULTIPLY GHZ BY CORES!
